One Dress a Day Challenge

August: Fantasy and Sci-fi

Metropolis / Brigitte Helm as the Maschinenmensch (robot)

Does this really count as a costume? Is it more of a prosthetic? I'm really not sure how to classify it, but it is definitely iconic--and hugely influential on design in movies ever since.

I found an article with a fascinating description of how the suit was made: "The robot, whose construction took weeks, was made of 'plastic wood', a kneadable substance made of wood, hardening quickly when exposed to the air, allowing itself to be modeled like organic wood. They first took a plaster cast mould of Brigitte Helm from head to toe. Parts resembling a knight’s armour, cut out of Hessian, were covered with 2 mm substance, flattened by means of a kitchen pastry roller. This was then stuck on to the plaster Brigitte Helm, like a shoemaker pulls leather over his block. When the material had hardened, the parts were polished, the contours cut out.... Finally, cellon varnish mixed with solver bronze, and applied with a spray gun, gave the costume its genuinely metallic appearance which even seemed convincing when looked at from close range."

I'm all the more impressed after learning that Brigitte Helm was only eighteen when she played the triple role of the robot, Maria, and "False Maria"! And I love the behind-the-scenes picture of her getting a drink while a hair dryer is applied to the suit.

The actor (Gustaf Gründgens) who plays Fouché is hugely compelling. His voice is so insinuating and sly. “Hundert Tage” movie, 1935, on youtube. It’s in German and the English subtitles are useless. I’m watching it anyway.

P.S. The book/movie “Mephisto” was based on Gustaf Grundgens.

I finished Love in thoughts | Was Nützt Die Liebe In Gedanken (2004) yesterday and I’m still in fucking shambles man. I feel so fucking bad for Günter because his sister knew damn well he was in love with Hans but still went after him and Hans didn’t bother giving Günter a second/third chance. And the fact that Paul was so infatuated with Hilde, he didn’t even realize how depressed and desperate Günter was.

I JUST WANT HIM TO BE OKAY

Tag 4-8 | 7/100 hours | 07/08/23

⭐️Finished Kapitel 2- 3.1 Goethe Institut A1

⭐️ 100 flashcards from Goethe Institut A1

⭐️ Rewatched my favorite German movie

If anyone has any German movie recommendations I’d be happy to check them out. On the other hand I started uni today and I was able to incorporate studying german into my routine without any issues. I have noticed it helps me a lot to study in a public but quiet place.

Sorry if I haven’t been that active these days. I was going through a bit of a depressive slump and I was struggling to study and to keep posting, but I’m alright now and ready to keep it up. Bis Morgen!

Join the challenge:

100 hours of studying German from scratch

In an aesthetic regard, the second Sissi movie is probably my favorite (save the first obviously) out of the trilogy

Sissi: The Young Empress / Sissi Die Junge Kaiserin (1956)

Sachertorte (2022) 🎬Karl puts his life in Berlin on hold, only to wait every day at 3pm for the love of his life at Café Sacher in Vienna. But sometimes love happens to you, while you’re busy waiting for it...

📝A very predictable film. You can pretty much guess what will happen, but if you are looking for an easy going romantic film set in Vienna for a change, then it's worth checking out. It's a sweet and feel good film and it doesn't pretend to be anything else, but if you want a complicated and unpredictable film then this will not be the one for you. I like the change of scenery.

Hey, friends!! I was wondering if you could help me track down the 1929 German silent film version of Spring Awakening, directed by Richard Oswald. It’s titled Frühlings Erwachen, and I think it would be of interest to many of us Wedekind devotees. ☺️
