Fräulein Smilla
Fak ju Göhte (part II- review) After watching the film I felt that the money and time spent on it was a complete waste of time. Everything was so much over the top which is okay for a comedy I suppose. However, I did not like the way typical stereotypes and prejudices were drawn on, for example the way students were presented as lazy and dumb because they did not want to do anything with their lives. Many students in the film stated that all they wanted to do with their lives is to receive unemployment pay. On account of that, Zeki decided to visit some unemployed families with his students to scare them off and make them change their minds. These unemployed people were portrayed as antisocial, alcoholic jerks. Don’t get me wrong – if these stereotypes were used for a satire, I could have laughed about it- but the way they were used in the film was just superficial and made me feel empathically embarrassed. Another thing which I found even worse was the way teaching styles were discussed. I remember a teenager girl once saying to me - and she was very serious about it- that she wishes more teachers would be like Zeki Müller. That's why I thought the ptroagonist would have been someone pedagogically untrained but with a good heart and intuition but now that I know better... Well- seriously? You want to have teachers who are neither interested in you nor believe in your potentials? Teachers who follow only one teaching principle that is 'the strongest always wins' meaning to push kids’ head under water and things like that? Well, hopefully she was just blended by the handsomeness of main character’s actor Elyas M’Barek.

Fak ju Göhte (part II- review)

After watching the film I felt it was a complete waste of time and money. (redundancy. Grammar was correct.)  Everything was so much over the top which is okay for a comedy I suppose. However, I did not like the way typical stereotypes and prejudices were drawn on, for example the way students were presented as lazy and dumb because they did not want to do anything with their lives. Many students in the film stated that all they wanted to do (redundancy from prior sentence) is to receive unemployment pay. On account of that, Zeki decided to visit some unemployed families with his students to scare them off and make them change their minds. These unemployed people were portrayed as antisocial, alcoholic jerks. Don’t get me wrong – if these stereotypes were used for a satire, I could have laughed about it- but the way they were used in the film was just superficial and made me feel empathically embarrassed.
