Berlin calling

Q1

Berlin calling film is about culture, music and dance. The movie portrays the drugs role and its connections to music and dancing. Lckarus tours the techno clubs in preparation to release a new studio album. In his touring, he is accompanied by Mathilde, her girlfriend. Lckarus takes drug to enable him to party and work day and night (Berling calling). To him, drugs mean a motivation to work.

Q2

 Lckarus has very loyal fans. Every hall in which he appears is packed to capacity. His fans abuse drugs in the halls in order to stay alert for a long time. RP Kahl, a drug dealer, keeps the fans and Lckarus supplied with pharmaceuticals and cocaine. These are drugs that are abused by his fans.

Q3

The subculture of Lckarus focuses on drug because they have perception that drug helps individual to be hardworking, creative and innovative. However, this is wrong belief because the main actor, lckarus, becomes unsuccessful and unable to work due to drugs.

Q4

There is difference between the people that are shown in this movie and those in my home society.  The standards are not the same. Majority of people in the film takes cocaine and pharmaceutical drugs. RP Kahl, a drug dealer supplies those drugs to Lckarus and his fans. Contrary, in my home society, many people do not abuse drugs.  In addition, musician in my society dot not consume drugs.

Q5

 Germany is always depicted as greatly industrialized nation. That cannot be changed by the culture of youth as shown in the movie. Many societies in the world abuse drugs and Germany is not an exception. Work ethics of Alice and lckarus will only serve to show how intoxication can negatively affect hope and future of people.

Q6

  Trainspotting, a movie of US origin, is very similar with Berlin calling film (Trainspotting). The movie is about Mark Renton who abuses drugs. His habits affect his relationship with friends and family. Both movies capture the reality of life. They bring out clearly the themes of intoxication, future, relationship, love and the lust for life.
