For everyone asking how I got his address, I’m in regular contact with one of his old penpals.

Having Dylann’s prison address it takes everything in me not to write to him daily. I wouldn’t be sending him ‘fan mail’ or drooling over him, I’d just be trying to have a conversation with him. I’m afraid that when I finally feel ‘ready’, it’ll be too late and he’ll be dead. I just want to know that in his life he was aware of my existence — whether he likes me or not. :-,)

I’m sure it’s been brought up before. A drawing in Dylan’s journal. 5 coffins. How many people did he kill on April 20th, 1999 …. 5 people, intentional or not it’s very eerie.

German language films I love (part 2)

Like in part 1 these are in no particular order. If you’re up for watching something depressing, look no further than Persischstunden. Land of Mine also has it’s sad moments but is on the more hopeful side. If you want laughs, go for Frau Müller muss weg! Good music? Comedian Harmonists. Nuanced queer representation? Futur Drei. And if you want to feel on edge for over two hours, try Victoria.

1) Land of Mine⎹ While this is a Danish production (original title is Under Sandet), a lot of the dialogue is in German. After World War II, a group of a dozen young German prisoners of war are ordered to clear land mines on a beach in Denmark - land mines were originally planted by the Nazis in anticipation of Allied forces landing there. The Danish officer in charge, as well as most of the villagers, initially doesn’t care if the boys live or starve (or get blown up), but as the operation continues a bond forms between them.

2) Victoria⎹ Most of this film is in English, but I can’t not include this when talking about my favorite German (language) films! You know how 1917 was edited to look like it was shot in one long continuous take? Well, Victoria was actually shot in a 140-minute continuous take. The main character of this crime thriller is Victoria, a Spanish woman who recently moved to Berlin. After a night out of dancing and drinking, she meets four young men in front of the club and joins them on a walk through the city. Over the next two hours, Victoria becomes sucked into a heist gone wrong. This here is some insanely good filmmaking and acting.

3) Futur Drei⎹ After being involved in a robbery, Parvis, the son of Iranian immigrants, is sentenced to 120 hours community service. He begins working at an detention center for refugees as a translator, where he meets Iranian brother-sister duo Amon and Banafshe. A fragile relationship develops between the three as Banafshe faces the threat of deportation and Parvis falls in love with Amon. I love how this film examines the intersecting themes of queerness, migration, and privilege in Germany today and share the sentiment of Raquel Molt from Jünglinge, the collective that developed the film, who says: Banafshe sagt ja am Ende ‘Wir sind die Zukunft,’ und ich glaube, sie weiß ja irgendwo schon, dass das falsch ist… weil Banafshe, Amon, und Parvis eigentlich schon längst die Gegenwart sind, bloß die Mehrheitsgesellschaft das irgendwie noch nicht gecheckt hat und noch nicht abbilden kann. (”At the end of the film, Banafshe says ‘We are the future,’ and I think she knows in a way that that’s not true, because Banafshe, Amon and Parvis have actually been the present for a long time. It’s just that the majority society hasn’t realized that and can’t portray it yet.”)

4) Persischstunden⎹ Gilles, a young Jewish man fleeing Antwerp, is captured by the Nazis and pretends to be Iranian to avoid being executed in a concentration camp. The deputy commandant at the concentration camp, Klaus Koch, orders Gilles to teach him Persian, as he hopes to visit Tehran when the war is over. Having no choice but to agree, Gilles scrambles to invent a language he must both teach Klaus as “Persian” and also memorize himself if he is to survive.

5) Frau Müller muss weg!⎹ In this comedy, a group of overbearing parents is concerned about their children’s final elementary school grades being too low, as this will hinder their children getting into Gymnasium, so they decide to gang up on the teacher, Frau Müller. Their impromptu parent-teacher meeting and plan to have Frau Müller give up teaching the class backfires and hilarity ensues.

6) Comedian Harmonists⎹ This film is about the popular German vocal group Comedian Harmonists, who sang and performed together in the 1920s and 1930s, achieving international fame. However, when the Nazis come to power, the group facing increasing difficulties, as half of the six members are Jewish.
