SANDRA HÜLLER as Erika Mann FATHERLAND (2026, dir. Pawel Pawlikowski)

[enablesomething]

Fatherland (Paweł Pawlikowski, 2026) It's a high-contrast, black & white film right up my alley. Although it co-won Best Director at this year's Cannes Film Festival, it's a must-watch regardless of any awards, purely for the combination of Thomas Mann's life story and Sandra Hüller's Erika Mann. I heard the 'Challan Film Company' is bringing it to South Korea. (Yay!) It looks like I’ll just have to wait until this fall to watch it, though.

"Once you realize how many traffic accidents Soviet Soldiers caused in East Germany (the reporting of which was actively suppressed by the Stasi) - it's no longer surprising to find German Roadsign and traffic rules plastered all over the now abandoned Soviet barracks."

"In the U.S. they do not have 'Do not shoot black people' on the walls in police stations."

Every time someone brings up an example of a moral failure of the Soviet Union as proof of how oppressive it was, there is always an example of how the "free" U.S. is even worse, especially in regards to Black and Indigenous people.

"The Berlin Wall was a zone of death." U.S. Border Patrol causes more death in one year than the Stasi did in its entire history.

There's a new movie called Fatherland that has an emphasis on censorship in the GDR. Where's the movie about COINTELPRO and how they imprisoned people and others had their professional careers destroyed? The US government killed many black radicals, and they even a president to protect its asset known as Israel (JFK).

It may seem like I am being antagonist but you should follow iamkosmonaut on Blue Sky if you're interested in GDR history.
