J. Edgar

The movie I saw tonight is different to the ones I mentioned in this blog earlier.
Every Wendsday night the cinema I work for shows the "Filmauslese".
This means, movies with higher standards and deeper meanings are showed. Movies not a lot of people want to see ;-)
Tonight it was J. Edgar.
The movie was in the cinemas in January [first date: 19. January in Germany] so you probably saw it already.
It's a politics and society crtical movie.
J. Edgar Hoover was a real person. He was the director of the FBI for about 50 years. He had a strong will, firm views of politics and state security and I think you can call him a capitalist.
Nowadays you would call him crazy, narrow minded and maybe also a little bit racist, but he was a child of one's time.
He reached a lot - he formed the FBI how we know it now and faught against communism and everything else he thought could jeopardize the American system and security. Edagar's power survived 8 presidents and he was abel to handel and use his power to gather even more.
All in all he was an asshole.
But the movie doesn't only show his political and capitalistic ideas - what we nowadays support or hate - it also showed the difficulties of homosexuality to the time of the early 20. century.
Edgar was gay but coudn't really admit it and he also fell in love with his assistant Clyde Tolson. But Edgar Hoover was raised by his mother with the idea of "better a dead son than a gay son". So the realationship between these two is very touching, dramatic and heart-breaking.
Do yourself a favour, get this movie on DVD and watch it.
You will learn some very fascinating things, you will have to think about some aspects of our society and you can see some very American and captialistic ideologies.
One last information about the movie:
J. Edgar Hoober was a very quiet man, who loved secrets. So nobody knows what is real and what is fiction!

My brother and my dad have been to Düsseldorf.

Both are fans of Fortuna Düsseldorf - the football team from Düsseldorf ;-) - and they went to see a game.
I wanted to join them but coudn't due to my work.
But my dad and my brother are super cute and they bought me some things I wanted.
Green Tea, Golden Curry and Pockys *-*
They coudn't find everything I wanted but that's fine. Maybe I will be able to go to Düsseldorf in early May. ♥
And you see they don't exactly know my taste. Of course I like Hello Kitty but I'm not a big fan of strawberry pockys.
Anyway I bet I won't eat it for a long time. I can't get Japanese food very often and so it is very special for me.

I'm living in a very small town in Bavaria.
You can imagine it is pretty boring.
Going out here is different than going out in big cities.
I love partying in Berlin. ♥ There are so many different and interesting kinds of people and you will always find somone depressed enough to buy you drinks.
In my town probably I'm the most different person - and I think I'm quite normal compared to other people I know.
Anyway last Friday I went to a party in a little dico/bar called Muk.
You can see in the picture how modern and fashionable it is. Haha.
I had to censor all the pictures because we are all ugly drunkards.
It's like one of the hotspots in my town - can you belive it? - and it was nice.
They play the Top 50s and some good old Bavarian party songs.
I met tons of my friends and drank a loooooooot.
It was embarrassing like always but that's fine.
I enjoy drinking - sometimes a little bit too much.
Drunken I also love to smoke and so we stayed most of the time outside.
A few of my male friends bought me drinks and so I only had to spend 15 Euros. ♥
Easter is coming. I have no idea what to get my family, maybe they won't get anything.
