AMD 2 - Hell

I decided to Google some cool German movies to watch for this AMD, because, well, why not? And having an awesome movie to watch for homework is always enjoyable. So I stumbled upon this beauty:

Too bad it doesn't come out on DVD until April :(

So instead of watching it, I tried to soak up all that I could about German movies, kritiks, interviews with the director of Hell, and try to learn the vocabulary of the film industry.

Vocabulary:

I'm not exactly sure about all the translations, but I didn't want to cheat and use a translator or look it up. I tried to decipher it on my own, so here it goes:

Kritik - Critique, or review?

Darsteller - Stars, or starring

Laufzeit - how long the movie is

Kinostart - Release date

Im Kino - In theaters

Produzenten - Producers

Regie - Director? Writer? something to this extent

Drehbuch - Screenplay

Land/Jahr - Where it was shot and what year (Place/Year)

Genre - Genre. It translates into English perfectly

Titel - Title

Originaltitel - Original title (for films that get titles changed into English or different languages)

Verleih -This is something I'm unclear about. For Hell, it's Paramount Pictures, so I'm guessing that it has something to do with Studio

Endzeit is specifically used to describe the genre of this movie, and it has a pretty obvious meaning... "end times".

Postapokalyptischer - Post apocalyptic movie genre.

Die Welt wie wir sie kennen existiert nicht mehr. - The world we know exists no more. (roughly?)

It really bummed me out that I couldn't find a link to watch the movie. After reading a lot of reviews, the movie actually flopped out of the German Box Offices. Kind of disappointing, because from the trailer it looks to be similar to the Book of Eli or something like that. It should be interesting when it comes out on DVD and Blu-ray to watch it and see how much I can understand in one go.

Thanks for reading!
