Why are German films often so formulaic even though Germany is a European culture? I love them but they follow formula very closely like Hollywood. What are the best German films?

Das Haus in Montevideo

Es geschah am helllichten Tag

Die Feuerzangenbowle

Where is best free porn?

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

Didi - alles im Eimer

Metropolis

Is there a correlation between being a medium and mental health?

Besides these, there are some really good children's movies: More recently, the Bibi und Tina series as just one example. Looking back into the 80s and 70s, as well as into the present, I would even say that movies for children are what the German Film industry excels at. There is much less screaming and cake throwing and slimy monsters and much more discussing of matters that affect children in real life (even in phantasy plots) than in most US children's movies as far als I know them. The GDR was particularly well known for excellent children's movies but the west was and is good at it, too.

What is of absolutely horrible quality is the “movies” that are produced for TV. They are famously bad.

In Wirtschaftswunder times, most Western German movies were junk but the GDR produced some very good ones, e.g. Western movies and Spur der Steine; in the 70s Paul und Paula. I definitely recommend both!

What is the recommended approach for creating a film or TV script? Should the script be written first or should the story be developed first? Why?

I have seen some very good German movies. It is not that they don't exist, but they hardly ever achieve much fame. Especially since people have been accustomed to the dominance of US popular culture.

Here is a list of some (by no means all) German movies that are considered Classics (and a few that should be, in my opinion):

Lola rennt

To a flat Earther, what's wrong with the idea that gravity is simply a force inherent to space which operates only in one dimension? Why do they go further and try to deny gravity rather than just saying it's different than physicists claim?

In jenen Tagen

Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

What does it mean to dream about demons possessing people, and what can be done about this dream that keeps occurring for years?

Man spricht Deutsh

Nackt

And many I can't think of at the moment.

What are the best self-care practices to improve mental health?
