“Duel of the Brothers”: labor heroes – ZEIT ONLINE

The repertoire of Torjubels has changed radically. For decades dominated the both sides eingesprungene extender arm. Today the choice is almost limitless. The range extends from the saw on the pacifier until heart and the waist-angled double fist with bent forward body, a Standardpose the Playstation generation.

Only with RTL there was this figure apparently already in his fifties. In the biopic duel of brothers Uwe Rahn celebrates his winning goal in the World Cup final in 1954 as a professional football player of today. In reality, however, his jubilation turned out much improvised, less choreographed. This is a detail, but for the narrative of the film is typical: When commercial television in Germany times pours history again in Event form, it keeps up with realism not long on.

duel of brothers is about Adolf and Rudolf Dassler, who once two until today the world’s leading sportswear companies founded the precursor: Adidas and Puma. After the writer of Christian Schnalke outlined director Oliver Dommenget the well-known schism of the “shoe factory Gebrüder Dassler” in two fierce competitors, were allowed to write the next door to the contemplative Herzogenaurach textile history.



Attractive than original

And, as usual in the fictional history tainment, from a detail hipped costume party has become, it with the characterological authenticity his protagonists so particular as to the scenes around far less. From its founding in 1924, about the rise in Nazism and the possibility for blowing up the operation, as has been already converted into an armaments factory, see “Adi” and “Rudi” Although always exactly like what it was in vogue.

But the actor Ken Duken and Torben Liebrecht give the Weber sons from the Franconian province a more attractive, which is justified by no black and white photograph of the originals. Even the 30 year narrative time, covering the nearly two-hour film, they put away without any aging phenomenon.



Heroic Office Tiger

So bakes RTL popular figure of yesterday, their entire habitus is tailored to the audience of today. Therefore Adi and Rudi may indeed be two creators of contemporary meal and grain, their very pretty women Käthe (Picco von Groote) and Friedl (Nadja Becker) but never gängeln so adamant, as was customary at that time. Therefore their pact with the Nazis is mild blurred.

The post-heroic era rather celebrates heroes of labor as a hero of the Battle. Ken Duken has 2011 been awarded the defiant endurance with which he endows his character Adi Dassler the PS-pioneer Carl Benz. And the persistence with which the prosecutor Fritz Bauer has taken action against brown cliques in the young republic, was last told in three biopics.



World alien genius

And only all the strong women in patriarchy:, Margarete Steiff (ARD, 2005), Hope Bridges (ZDF 2010) Beate Uhse (ARD, 2011), Elly Beinhorn (ZDF, 2014), Clara Immerwahr (ARD, 2014). While it thirsts autocrats more like warrior epics, liberal societies appreciate nonviolent role models who obsessively on breakthrough of their works toil for the benefit of mankind. “People think I’m a loony,” the unworldly genius Adi says the enterprising Hallodri Rudi at one point, adding that he wanted “the perfect shoe and I know I can, I can, I can.”

The film increases not only in the World Cup final of Bern, he ends there: The Schraubstollen the loner Adolf Dassler in Herzogenaurach pave the morally and physically destroyed Reich successor BRD return to the circle confident nations. And while there still rages the storm, penetrates glistening sunshine through the cabin window as the humble Adidas boss the 3: 2 against Hungary with it alone accounts.

“Duel of the Brothers” runs on Friday, March 23, at 20:15 on RTL.
