“Starfighter”: The aircraft of FJS – ZEIT ONLINE

piety is usually no core competence of commercial television. So it was a remarkable decision by RTL, to postpone the broadcasting of his blockbuster Star Fighter shortly after the crash of the German Wings flight 9525 end of March, as Pro Sieben decade earlier with a movie called Tsunami had done.

At that time, however, it would have been good, Pro Sieben had postponed the film not only to the period after the period of mourning, but for all eternity, so wayward was the fictional tidal wave of Sylt, so little it had to do with the real thing. That now, the film about the Bundeswehr jets that you Widowmaker called, runs nine months after the starting date is, however, to be welcomed. With Star Fighter RTL has succeeded in actually a really good movie. The slope of the transmitter for dramatic overkill, often burdened the RTL productions is entirely appropriate in this case: The Starfighter disaster in which almost one third of the 916 machines have crashed the type F-104 1962-1984, is one of the scandalous affairs of scandalous affairs in no way poor history of West German industrial policy.

RTL tells the story like this: At the beginning of the Swinging Sixties, as under hair tower exploded the colors of the clothes, the perfume saleswoman Betti in love with the robust fighter pilots Harry who they kidnapped in the dazzling world daring flier on Rhenish airbase. But the American Dream from Cologne production unit into a nightmare, as the Starfighter aircraft from the US manufacturer Lockheed crash immediately by the dozen and their crews with tear to his death -. Including soon Harry himself that it really every time is a pilot error, as the Department of Defense announced, doubts the very pregnant widow and makes own investigation. When researching it gets into a dense network of cover-ups, lies, manipulation, from which she tries to free herself by using a class action. With success, as much was gespoilert a process that wrote 1975 judicial history.

Credible Empathy

But RTL would not RTL when it made this fabric no artificial gum entertainment full of clichés and report effects in shelling would knit permanent sound cascades. And Miguel Alexandre would not be the melodrama director Miguel Alexandre, if he did not every emotion, every effect, the entire VFX thunderstorm one or two stages pitching too high. Nevertheless, this event differs from the usual movie RTL productions. There are credible empathy and passionate outrage at the criminal system of the Bavarian godfather Franz-Josef Strauss. The profit interests of the military-political complex had then sacrificed not only billions of taxpayers’ money, but also the lives of 116 pilots Strauss.

Producer Michael Souvignier who has the thalidomide scandal wrested a moving film, says bluntly, with Star Fighter he was working also all the “dirty tricks” of FJS to which he had been “hated less revolutionary in school” than. For fact-based documentation with which Souvigniers company Zeitsprung once laid the foundation of German history events, the approach may sound too subjective; Movies with heart and mind, he can be quite useful. While by no means only private stations like to reel off their remembrance Entertainment carelessly preserved Souvigniers compassion opulent Zweistünder from being merely a seasoned mixture of Top Gun, Grease and Erin Brockovich .

death toll peacetime

This is also due to the actress Picco von Groote: your figure Betti takes a plausible transformation from a naive young lady of philistine pre-crisis to self-confident woman of following departure. This tells a lot about the upheaval around 1968 which provides encrusted authorities in question and the emerging unscathed can not. The two eras that meet here, are embodied by each one carrying a minor character: Rainer Bock as defense minister Hermann Weltke alias Kai-Uwe von Hassel, who despite the loss of his own son in Starfighter babbles from “toll” to be a well-fortified democracy in peacetime have afford and otherwise further weaves the braid of his predecessor; and Alice Dwyer as Bettis best friend Helga, which differs from the pilot clique in the APO, but there tends to be fundamental opposition.

This can easily forget the usual target group supply in between, although of course here on the performer catalog according dressed in a convertible from Bowling over Autokino go towards the future and say phrases like “That you need to thee times reinziehen “. But if she says a major actor Frederick Lau as for the level dwarf RTL, well what needs to be tuned.

“Starfighter” will expire on November 12 at 20.15 clock on RTL.
