You can say what you want about Bernd Eichinger, but he was probably the most influential producer in modern German cinema. Even if he made a blunder with the film adaptation of Bushido's story, great films like "Last Exit Brooklyn", "Christiane F. - We Children from Bahnhof Zoo", "The Neverending Story", "The Name of the Rose », «Downfall», «Perfume» and «The Baader Meinhof Complex» are some of the features of his career. Whether he turned a star report like "Christiane F. - Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo" into a global success, pimped "The Neverending Story" into a Hollywood-like effect spectacle or just risked his entire financial existence for "The Name of the Rose". to produce. Bernd Eichinger dared and often won. Bernd Eichinger died yesterday in Los Angeles at the age of 61 of a heart attack.
Born in 1949, Eichinger shaped the image of modern German film like no other. Against the auteur cinema and often depressive dramas of the new German film of the 70s, he used elaborately produced event movies, bestseller adaptations as well as rough slapstick. He was always controversial and not infrequently the authors of the works he filmed were not really happy with the "smoothing" that he allowed the stories to flourish. Michael Ende complained loudly and often, and comic book author Ralf König was also rather disappointed with the film adaptation of "The Man Being". And yet both films became huge successes.
Eichinger often balanced on the fine line between demands and commerce. He always tried to give his productions an international format, cast big stars and made an effort that is rarely seen in German cinema. Eichinger's cinema has always been a cinema of big pictures, of spectacles.
Eichinger was the number one head of entertainment in German-speaking countries and I don't know who should close this gap. Because despite all prophecies of doom: he dared something. Today's business administration pocket calculator production boys and flowchart administrators no longer do that. Films are only made using the slide rule. And even if Eichinger only perfected this discipline, he always indulged in little sweethearts in between and that was probably exactly the secret of his success: he simply loved films. And lived from it. The loss of Bernd Eichinger for German film is enormous. Thank you Bernd for being there. Good Trip!

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever
