Could you please liveblog The Making of Rosenrot and Mein Herz Brennt.
Okay I'm gonna do Rosenrot here and then make a separate one for MHB, scheduled so nobody gets a massive wall of text I uh. Assume you pop around to check if I've answered stuff occasionally and this isn't a two ships passing in the night deal. I might schedule this one for like midday tomorrow to increase specifically your chance of seeing it as it's 00:27 BST here currently.
I have probably already done one but here's the thing, it's my favourite making of and it's been a while.
Right at the beginning chess piece Richard lurking in the sunrise smoking. Very cute, still despise the hat. Nodding roughly in time? Fun, though I'm curious as to what he was actually nodding for. To look cool? It didn't work
Oli suits the lurking in a habit thing
Paul looks so so sleepy and it's kind of adorable.
Tumblr media
I lose it a little every time he says 'shave off my sideburns I don't know if monks have sideburns' as if he doesn't have earrings. I think he just likes it, it seems like it was the fashion to shave the sideburns and a little extra in the DDR alt scene?
Hnnnn the little noises he makes when he's getting the hood put on my HEART
Tumblr media
On the hill just before they're shooting it sounds like Zoran is backwards somehow
Like usual, only some of the boys are allowed to look good. Schneider and Till? Beautiful. Flake and Richard. Very silly. Oli and Paul are fine.
Flakes little beanie. Tills little grin. Richard looking deeply uncomfortable. Suspicious, even. Oli masterfully blending into the background
Schneider is somehow actually more suspicious even than Richard. He has a very suspicious face in general when he's Present.
Nobody can resist fuzzy Till when he says But I wanna make friends too :( Even melted Zorans heart
I want. To rub his soft and fuzzy little head. It's so spherical.
There's something about them seating Till and Paul so they look the same size that I just really enjoy
Tumblr media
Richard: shouldnt we have knives??
Zoran: no, you're monks! He does.
Richard: we don't kill him? :/
Paul: we burn him...
Richard, in an intrigued and distinctly positive voice: we burn him?
Flake is smiling at him it's so sweet I love to be reminded that they all love each other
I like the way Richard says 'like the inquisition?'. No real reason, just sounds nice.
Is 'in prinzip'(?) A common phrase in general or is it a Zoran thing? He says it a lot.
I'm only five minutes in this is going to be so long mobile tumblr doesn't let me add an under the cut I'm so sorry
When he talks to other Germans Paul's accent is so detectable. I adore it, it's like the bubble writing teenaged girls use on posters.
The chainsaw. I always forget the chainsaw. Paul being Paul, it's the most fitting choice. Chaos gremlin.
SCHNEIDER AND THE PUPPY
Tumblr media
Richard looming over the children in the seesaw like the grim reaper waiting for one to fall off and crack their head on something hard
Olis sleeve wine is genuinely the funniest thing any of them have ever done. He has a penchant for doing robot movements and it's gotten to a point where I wonder if he's an android. A factory runaway because he was slightly faulty and about to be switched off. He ended up staying with Richard and Schneider because Richard understood and schneider didn't notice.
Tumblr media
'dont bother asking me any questions, enough questions have already been asked' he says in his little beanie. Owns my heart. If the film thing is remotely true I want to know what Richard thinks, being so into films himself. He's smirking a tiny bit
God, he looks uncomfortable about the kiss.
Hey so anyway what is that guy doing behind him? Cleaning? Because he's using a paintbrush to do it and now I'm questioning whether most of the whipping was real...
I mean, later on you can physically see a welt forming in Paul's shoulder and they're all clearly in a bit of pain but that doesn't mean it's all real... Unless he's, like, painting on some ointment?
I adore this whole chunk of till practicing the murder scene, he's so... Disarming. Like hi yes I'm large and have a knife but you see, I'm actually small and silly look at my fuzzy head I'm v v approachable see my goofy pointy tooth smile? And my high voice and nice accent
Why is Zoran dressed as a monk too
You go here, and i—oop—make like this and then I get the knife and *stab sound*. I hit two, three times
Have you ever really payed attention to the way he makes his T sounds? It makes sense that it's different to the standard because teeth but this
Schneider looks so much like a plague doctor... Kinda into that.
I don't like that Zoran doesn't use Cătălinas name
Richards hair refuses to lie flat. The smoke floating up and then clicking into a straight line always catches my attention
Flake avoiding eye contact is, as the kids say, a major mood. Did he not understand Zoran or was he ignoring him til Oli got his attention? Was he already going deaf in one ear by that point? He looks like, and I mean this in the most loving way, a Muppet when he's looking directly at her. I think it was purposeful
Tumblr media
Till giggling when Zoran tickles him with the rose. I do not understand why he says their relationship is ambiguous when they're... in bed together.
Hhhhhh god till looks so good in the flagellation lesson though. Soft sweet chumby boy. I like how visible his scar is.
Paul is always so into the violence and chaos isn't he? I like that he's singing the song but specifically it's the guitars, not the melody. And then theres Flake, the amateur masochist. The sudden camera eye contact always gets me.
Tumblr media
A thing I really love about the whole self flagellation thing is that Paul is right there with till the entire time. He hurts himself almost as much as till does, he's there assisting when till is experimenting (sidenote...he does look good though huh), he's across the way where they can see each other in the circle (Richard is directly across which, I don't know, I feel like it's intentional). It seems like he's supporting him. Also that he's just a chaos gremlin and likes to be where the action is.
I've gone into so much detail about their whipping styles in the past
Tumblr media
Schneider must be really relieved they didn't really use any of the clips during the whipping where he looks like a sock. He does not look mean he looks like a sock puppet with no hand I'm sorry but it's true
Tumblr media
I do like the way Schneider and Paul talk about it though. They got a lot from the experience, it seems. I'd like to hear their thoughts on it now.
'Till, don't defend yourself!' ...the wriggling is cute
Flake and Richard having a little smile :) but Oli and Schneider, deadly serious.
Richard and Till... Should wrestle. Between this and Haifisch it's clear it'd be beneficial. Mein Teil does not count, it should be one on one.
I wish I knew what Till says as he gets up, I'm assuming hes joking about Richard beating him up?
Richard and paul are so careful beating him up. Paul especially is very careful to just softly jostle him. Also, the softest ear pinch
Tumblr media
Oli: grinning, happy with their work
Paul: looking serious, not enjoying it at all
Richard: 😬, not remotely a fan, experiencing physical pain just seeing it
Oli heads off Paul's complaints perfectly, it's so practiced. He must have to do it regularly, Paul complains just for the fun of it.
-17° and he has Till topless on his back. Unnecessary. Its so cold the screen doesn't work.
I like to think they tried to drag him not-on his back
I just... I really Like Rosenrot and the making of.
