The ” duel of brothers “speculated that Horst’s biological son of Adidas CEO Adi Dassler is not, but by his brother and later Puma founder Rudi Dassler. Whether true or not – a bit more truth would have done the film
The real story is terrific material for a film.. Actually can go wrong as anything. The focus with Adidas and Puma, two global companies and the company’s founder brothers Rudolf (Thorben Liebrecht) and Adolf Dassler (Ken Duken) who venture in 1923 to build a sports shoe factory in a washroom in Herzogenaurach amid the global economic crisis.
When the store runs, the Nazis seize power. The beautiful Rudi, a vivacious, supple businessman, whom they call “Puma”, must to the front, while his brother Adi Dassler ( “Adidas”), a spun tinkerer, produced bazookas for the army and his power base is expanding.
Much truth – even about Horst
But the staged in Cain-and-Abel-reading story takes even further to gain momentum. Rudi – so the dark family secret – is said to have had an affair with his sister Katherine (Picco von Groote). Another reason why the joint company in 1948 probably split and joined in the next 47 working Adolf and 17 Rudolf on.
Until the death of the brothers (Rudi died in 1974, Adi 1978) reigned between men radio silence and informed the town from then on in the Puma ground north of Aurach and Adidas-country south of it.
There are facts to which the film maintains a large extent. But whether Adis son Horst really comes from the brother, is a cinematic speculation. How ever, are told spongy love stories of the brothers, which open into the marriages with Friedel (Nadja Becker) and Käthe.
High speed printing
Rudi looks Friedel first time at the station, shortly after sitting Friedel in his open car, he kisses her while driving and in the next shot are both forthwith a pair. Käthe suddenly stands on that lake where Adi bathes. She offers him a swimming competition and equal in the next scene we see both as spouses on the wedding party.
There are those moments when the film reveals its weaknesses. The true story of the Dassler is complex and also very emotional. That should be told slowly and with plenty of rest, so that the psychology of the actors can reveal behind their actions. The obvious speed printing of the strip does the story not good. The film wants much, too much, and can afford in this time frame is not everything he has undertaken.
Friedel takes the time
should be emphasized in this context actress Nadja Becker. She plays the betrayed by your sister Käthe wife of Rudolph in a presence that sometimes gives the galloping film some background information and deeper. Initially largely ignored by her husband, she developed into a schemer who manages to bring Rudolf final against his brother in position.
This is played credible and is in marked contrast to many clichéd representations such as the permanently grinning quadruple Olympic champion from 1936 Jesse Owens (wearing Adidas shoes) or the penetrant gum-chewing US soldiers (occupied Adidas factory). To mention just the worst failures.
The good Adi? Wrong!
Psychologically would the film can work out a lot more time for necessary. Around that both brothers in discord increasingly been together neurotic and allowed meticulous search in Sport Fair Visit their hotel rooms for bugs example from fear of the spies of others.
Or that in the film as the best stylized Adi a master at slyness was. So he left the runners Heinz Fütterer at an athletics meeting a pair of Adidas shoes that tested this in the heats -. Knowing that this was actually a Puma-Man
As Fütterer finally the finals in Cougar transgressors won, succeeded Adi to process underway so that they passed off only winning images in Adidas shoes to their editors. Note: Adi was no better than Rudi. Nix Cain and Abel!
Shabby Chic
More important than such precise inner motives are the “duel of brothers” but obviously the pictorial. Shot in North Rhine-Westphalia and Berlin-Brandenburg we see postcard idylls. Lush green hills, a lot of half-timbered and red brick. Given accurate apex, clean uniforms and cozy wool sweaters. Even the black dresses and veils at the grave act on the immaculate ladies too preppy.
Less country style Shabby Chic look and more unvarnished to the global economic crisis, war, famine and death were the staging awarded more historical truthfulness. That’s just all a bit too smooth.
Under the working title “The Dassler” is almost the same time also came the ARD out from the great material to produce a film. The competition project is to run also in this year on the transmitter. Let’s see what the make of it. Because, dear RTL-makers, faster is not necessarily better
