Analysis/review

this film's intention is for people to learn German interactively. I think this film is very useful for the beginner who is trying to learn German phrases and German culture as well. the plot is about a man who lost in a foreign country and how he can survive there. it has a realistic and unrealistic characteristic in this movie. it teaches us to be kind to others by helping each other in need. nico's character is a very smart one because he can survive and learning german very fast. I want to give props to the writer who can fit this basic german to the plot very well. it is an interesting movie indeed, my first impression was like they make a good movie for us german learners. at first, I was surprised that this film doesn't have English subtitles in it and I wonder how can I understand this film well.. but along the way I can grasp the film quite well even though I still need to go back and forth to use google translate. my expectations were not very high but this movie somehow satisfied me. I like this movie because it improves my german and my knowledge about German culture as well. I love learning languages through movies because we can engage in the story and the language very well. It's like if we don't understand the word we can just see the visualization that the movie provides to us.
