"Either Broder"
Henryk M. Broder and Hamed Abdel-Samad on Germany's Safari
Where it is at this five-part series in which the two protagonists in a custom-designed Volvo travel through Germany?
Is there such a thing as an integration Comedy interviews where different social groups are exposed or ridiculed?
Or is it humanistic education, which comes in the guise of entertainment? Or maybe it's just entertainment?
any case, it is entertaining!
This is a two-part approach: First, there are the interviews and on the other, traveling between the interviews.
In the interviews is not much commented on, and - unexpectedly - not provoked. Broder and Abdel-Samad, ask questions and let the respondents speak - and expose himself.
must be said, however, that the selection of the interviewees contributes to that approach. NPD old world "politicians" and also to let people talk backwards-looking New-Germany-Stasi relics just simply aims precisely to their self-exposure.
are really interesting discussions between destinations in the car. The provocative painted vehicle, the interior is more like a taxi in Beirut resembles stresses that there can be no sacred cows on this trip.
"Racism - the fear of the white man against the failure of erection"
course, Broder polemic, as he always does, and some jokes, the laughter is one stuck in the throat, but he makes fun of all democratic - Arabs, Jews, German, all get off their fat! Though some jokes are more like an end in itself, namely to make just a joke.
"If you sign against the war, Mr. Broder? Zoom out "" Yes, but only under my pseudonym (...) Günter Grass, I have to wear my Waffen SS number? "
But the expedition members to accomplish with this unique series? Taboos ? Making sure that it is politically correct to laugh at something over which only yesterday could not be laughed Should we might just get used a bit more to the various manifestations of human life -? without having to find them this good must Go it simply about integration and Broder is a closet humanist with the aim also of serious things to laugh at the ditches slowly fill them that divide us.
"For legal reasons, not the series will be offered as a video in the library"
Also on the website to show there are no serious efforts and statements, exactly what purpose the two protagonists . chase But maybe it is exactly what makes it interesting and the open concept.
Anything specify Broder and Abdel-Samad as to why their travel fun but frivolous. The fool, the artist, the satirists have the right to say things that normal citizens will be resented. Because humor, like the art in its various forms is an exaggeration or a caricature, a cipher, in whose shadow you can venture further.
The reactions to the program will show whether it is necessary - when no one is upset about this show we are well healed!
any case, it is entertaining!
