Berlin Calling

1. What do drugs mean to Ickarus?

 it's mean life, having fun, and to be able to deal with different issues for example his new album. 

2. Why, when, and how are his fans taking drugs, and which drugs do they take?

They taking drugs to forget about problems and having fun and they taking drugs in the night clubs or parties at different time but mostly after midnight. Also, they taking different kinds of drugs such as cocaine, LSD, PCP, and math. 

3. While we can see that his drug habits get him ill and into a psychosis, and while we witness his relapse and inability to work successfully, why does the subculture Ickarus is in focus on drugs?

The subculture focus on drugs because they thought drugs mean fun, stay awake, and get rid of the pressure. 

4. Compare the standards you know from your home society with the people you see depicted in this movie. Which are the stark differences and contrasts?

In my home town the most used drugs are Marijuana and Captagon, but there are few people who drink alcohol and use cocaine. In Berlin is totally different story because they have a large number of people specially teens who are addicted to alcohol and different kinds of drugs.  

5. Germany is considered a strong industrial nation the world over. Do you think that the youth culture as depicted here could change that? How about work ethics of Ickarus and of Alice, the label director who fires and then re-signs him?

Yes, for sure youth culture could change the industrial and everything such as economic, and military. Alice did hard work and gives lckarus many chances to change his behavior. The label director changed her thought about him after she listened to his new album. 

6. Which similar "cult movies" of US origin have you seen, if any?

I have not seen any similar to" Berlin Calling " in US movies.

   My reaction to the Berlin Calling is surprised and it was unlike what i was expecting because i never seen German movies and i was not have any idea about night life in Berlin. Drugs is really a big issue in Berlin and many of the young generation are addicted to drugs or alcohol. The good thing about the movie in my opinion is that getting a good information about how drugs are bad for everyone even if it make you feel happy and awake after used it but in a moment you may lose everything your job, family, and even your life. Finally, i will recommend my friends to watch " Berlin Calling " because they will get a good idea about Berlin life, music, and the bad effect of drugs.
