Okay fuck it. Sit up in bed junky we explaining this shit to @f1yogurt . (Yes, I actually wrote a lot of this yesterday at night, cause I have no self control)

Way back in the early 2000s there were those YA and kids novels, 'Die wilden Hühner' (the wild chickens) and 'Die Wilden Kerle' (the wild soccer bunch... there is an english translation)

Die Wilden Hühner:

- A clique of five girls who go about their day to day life (Sprotte, Frieda, Trude, Melanie and Wilma)

- They have a rivalring gang of four boys, the 'pygmies' (Fred, Willie, Torte and Steve)

- The girl gang's whole deal is that they love chicken (and I mean as pets, not to eat. They take an oath where they actually swear off from eating chicken)

- One book is about the boys trying to break into the house of Sprotte's grammys, to steal her treasure (that grammy is actually quite the cunt)

- Another one is about the girls saving that aforementioned grandmothers chickens, as the grandmother wants to slaughter them (the chickens)

- It deals with a lot of adulting, and problems kids could be dealing with, like: parental abandonement (as Sprotte's dad walked out on her and her mom), having only one parent (like Sprotte), divorce of parents (for Trude), physical abuse through the parent (for Willie), loss of job for a parent and the consequences of that for the family (for Melanie) teenager relationships in general.

- It even deals with homosexuality, as in the last book Wilma figures out she only likes girls. The girls have to deal with coming to terms with that, there is a big falling out between Wilma and Melanie. The author, Cornelia Funke, has a really great way of dealing with this issue. A very dignified and understanding way.

- There were five books, that they made into three movies (though we mostly ignore the third one, as it destroyed a lot of our beloved characters #notmyfred)

Die wilden Kerle (the wild soccer bunch):

- A clique of boys who only eat, sleep and prey soccer

- There was a book series (but I never read those) and 6 movies (though the newest is more of a remake)

- Yes, all those books and movies are basically about playing soccer and having adventures

- In the first movie they have to play against the 'dicke michie' (fat michie) to get their soccer field back

- They are joined by a girl in the first one, Vanessa. ('holy shit' I know. But at that age that was really 'holy shit')

- In the second one they wanna play against the german national team, and Vanessa leaves for a period to be with that skater boy 'Gonzo Gonzales' (who was a discount Cpt. Jack Sparrow. And all of our girls hearts were broken, cause we wanted her to be with Leon. Motherfucker, even Vanessa's actress didn't want for Vanessa to be with Gonzo. #teamleon)

(Look at him. Apparently they actually showed the actor pirates of the carribean and told him to copy Jack)

- Third one is about an old member of the bunch and his all girls team challenging the boys.

- Forth one had some weird soccer match at 'Ragnarök' with some wolf themed team and 'Silberlichten'... I never understood that one.

- And the fifth one had vampires bro.

- They had those cool curses, „Kackeverdammte“, „Hottentotten Albtraumnacht“, „Shitte nochmal“, „Kaninchen Wattebausch Bommelschwanz Po“, „Schwabbelbauch“.

- There are concepts in the movies, especially later on, that make you think, 'is this shit supernatural'.

- Gonzo in the second one for example is working with and worshipping this witch, 'Staraja riba'.

- The 'Silberlichten' in the fourth one are... I have no fucking clue what they are.

- THERE ARE FUCKING VAMPIRES IN THE FIFTH ONE MAN! (they were completely riding the twilight wave back then)

Anyways, back then you were either a 'Wildes Huhn' or a 'Wilder Kerl'.

We actually had cliques like them. We wore necklaces with chicken feathers like 'Die Wilden Hühner'. I don't know if boys had one ear ring like the pygmies. 'Die Wilden Kerle' had so much merchandise.

It was just a huge thing, and quite literally influenced a whole generation of us.

German movies Part 1

Hey guys! I noticed how many people on this website are learning German or want to learn it. It is my mother tongue and I love German cinema. We all know that movies help to improve language skills, so I made a list about my favorite German films and some must-sees! I hope you enjoy these films!

Keinohrhasen (the main actor is problematic IRL and also in this movie but I still like it, a journalist has to work in a day care center because he fucked up Vladimir Klitschko’s party, he meets the girl he used to bully when he was a teenager and then they fall in love... this movie is so typical for that director lmao)

Zweiohrküken (the same characters as in Keinohrhasen, they move in together and it’s a mess, also the guy’s ex affair wants him back and the woman’s ex boyfriend - whose dick she describes as the eiffel tower - is back in the city and wants to be with her again, drama drama drama, cute, typical German rom-com)

Anatomie (very bloody! about a girl who wants to become a doctor, creepy things happen at her summer med school)

Die wilden Hühner (a kids’ movie based on famous books, a cute girl gang wants to save a few chicken from a member’s granny who wants to kill and freeze them, very cute film)

(T)raumschiff surprise (gay people in space, ICONIC)

Fack ju Göhte (supposed to mean Fuck you Goehte, a criminal pretends to be a teacher, great comedy, sexy main actor, CHANTAL CRY LESS NOISY!)

Good bye, Lenin (iconic movie, a woman was in coma for 8 months and her son makes her believe the GDR still exists, awesome soundtrack, great story, cute couple, very moving)

Die Welle (a teacher makes a social experiment about fascism with his class and it goes wrong!! a must-see!)

Pünktchen und Anton (adaption of a famous novel, cute movie for children but I’m in my twenties and I still love it, a rich girl and a poor boy become friends)

Die dunkle Seite des Mondes (don’t take drugs guys, just don’t! this movie will show you why! the main character goes crazy - but is it just because he took drugs? find out!!)

Jeune Homme ((Swiss)German and French film about a guy who makes an au pair year, gets laid by the neighbour lady and falls in love with the host parents’ oldest daughter)

7 Zwerge - Männer allein im Wald (it’s like Snow White and the 7 dwarfs but very trashy, the dwarfs are big, the prince has a wild hair style and Snow White loves playing with her barbie. Ah, and the evil queen’s outfits are iconic and weird)

Die wilden Kerle (a kids’ movie about boys who play soccer - we all love it! EVERYTHING’S ALRIGHT AS LONG AS YOU’RE WILD! BE WILD - DANGEROUS AND WILD!)

Sommer (teen movie about the first love, takes place on an island, skater boy meets rich boy and they both love the same girl, teenage drama, i don’t wanna spoil but some people almost die and sth burns down)

Das Missenmassaker (12 girls who want to be Miss Switzerland, bitch fights 24/7 and a lot of blood because a lot of people get killed)

For No Eyes Only (Rear Window for teenagers, a very interesting thriller, cute main characters)

Homevideo (a guy films himself while masturbating, someone finds the video and then the drama starts, his family also falls apart)

Grosse Mädchen weinen nicht (two teenage girls, lots of feelings, sex, dangerous things)

Lola rennt (reminds me of The Butterfly Effect, iconic film, i don’t even wanna say more about it just watch it)

Who am I - Kein System ist sicher (movies about hackers with big plans and sometimes you have no idea if what you see is what is real)

Das Leben der Anderen (must see! fucking sad tho)

Cannabis (a member of the Swiss federal council who is against the legalization of weed has to consume weed because he has a problem with his eye and this helps - ofc his life changes and gets wild)

Die Herbstzeitlosen (4 old Swiss woman open a lingerie shop in a lil village and people freak out)

Grounding - Die letzten Tage der Swissair (the story behind the grounding of Swissair, the national airline of Swizzy)

Das Experiment (based on a true story, some people engage in a prison experiment - some are good people, others are bad people and ofc it escalates quickly)
