HIER TRENNTEN SICH DIE WEGE: Ellis Island
Mit dem Schiff waren wir mehrmals hin und hergefahren, aber nicht in der "Steeridge", wie das beruehmte Foto von Alfred Stieglitz die Einwanderer seigt, sondern schoener, grosszuegiger. Seekrank wird man trotzdem, aber fliegen wurde bald das Reisemittel schlechthin, heute sagt man "welchen Flieger nimmst Du?" Die Zeiten haben sich geaendert. und auch deshalb ist es sehr bewegend , sich den Weg und durch das Informationszentrum auf der Insel auch die vielen Fotos , Gepaeckstuecke, und Zeitzeugentafeln mit Bekenntnissen und Informationen anzusehen. Viele Immigranten waren auf dem kleinen Schiff zur Freiheitsstatuue, viele sehr bewegt , weil auch sie in diesem Land angekommen, den Weg vielleicht nachfuehlen koennen. Fuer sie ist es ein Land der Moeglichkeiten, und sie sind stolz hier zu sein.
Mit 60 Millionen deutschamerikanern sind die deutschen die groesste minderheit in den USA. Dass sie nicht so sichtbar sind , liegt daran, dass sie auch zu den anpassungsfeahigsten Gruppen geheoren.
Das Schifferklavier, ein deutsches instrument, das nach Amerika fand!
Wie fuehlt man sich bei dieser Begenung auf Ellis island? Man denkt daran, dass es nach wie vor immigranten gibt, wie schwer der neuanfang fuer diese Siedler war und wie es auch noch immer nicht leicht ist, sein land aufzugeben, auch wenn die lage es verlangt. Wie viele frauen sind wieder zurueck in die heimat, nach gescheiterten beziehungen und hoffnungen, die sich nicht erfuellten? wer patent ist oder die Arbeit nicht scheut, der kann mit der noetigen energie immernoch in dieses land, es ist fuer viele immernoch das land des American dream, der unbegrnezten Moeglichkeiten. lesen Sie hierzu in Florida Sun magazine die on-line Rubrik der Auswanmderer, viele geschichten, die als Anregung gelten, immer wieder findet man deutsche in den USA, die hier von der gastwirtschaft bis zur Maklerei alles tun, um besonders an Floridas Straenden nicht nur eine zweitheimat , sondern eine zweite heimat mit erstwohnsitz zu erlangen. Ueber Ellis Island brauchen sie dazu nicht . Ellis island ist eine welt der nostalgie, und zusaetzlich kann man nach den eigenen Vorfahren suchen, ein ganzer teil des gebaeudes laedt Sie dazu ein, Ahnen zu erforschen, die hierher auswanderten.
Wir hoffen Ihnen hat unsere Sendung gefallen, eine schoene Woche wuenscht Ihnen Ihre Susanne Nielsen mit Produzent Bill Davidson

MASSIVE E-BOOK GIVEAWAY FOR THE INTOUCHABLES MOVIEGOERS
YOU CHANGED MY LIFE: A MEMOIR GIVES FIRSTHAND ACCOUNT OF TRUE STORY THAT INSPIRED THE WORLDWIDE RECORD BREAKING COMEDY
New York, NY – July 26, 2012 – The Weinstein Company (TWC) and Weinstein Books announced today that they, along with partners Amazon, Apple, B&N.com, and Sony, plan to give away free eBook copies of You Changed My Life: A Memoir to all of THE INTOUCHABLES moviegoers between July 27 and August 3. The book was written by Abdel Sellou, the man whose life THE INTOUCHABLES is based off of, and tells the story of the unlikely friendship between a French aristocrat quadriplegic and the high-spirited, low-class Algerian ex con, played in the film by César Award winning Omar Sy (Omar et Fred), hired to serve as his hands and feet. You Changed My Life: A Memoir is available wherever books are sold now.
Everyone who buys a ticket to see THE INTOUCHABLES between July 27 and August 3 will receive a card from participating theaters with information on how to redeem the free eBook, published by Weinstein Books, a member of The Perseus Books Group.
In real life, Sellou, the man who not only faithfully served but truly saved the severely disabled Philippe Pozzo di Borgo, played by François Cluzet (TELL NO ONE) in the film, is as ebullient and impertinent as the movie’s character, but much more complicated and guarded about his past. In this book, he breaks his long silence about his turbulent youth and unexpected awakening and writes, with striking honesty and humor, about his unrestricted upbringing, his formative years as a thief and con artist, and his time in prison. Throughout, he accepts responsibility for his mistakes (and misdemeanors), and above all, he expresses his profound gratitude to Pozzo – his boss, teacher, and friend – for putting an end to his carefree life of indifference and aimlessness. He reveals how, thanks to Philippe, he eventually learned to live differently – with limits, with responsibilities, and with empathy – and like it.
“The response to the film has been incredible worldwide and in the U.S.,” said Weinstein Books Publishing Director Georgina Levitt. “The stories Abdel shares in his memoir will undoubtedly move, entertain, and touch the hearts of all readers. We thank our partners who have joined us in bringing this book to everyone who experiences THE INTOUCHABLES over the next week.”;
THE INTOUCHABLES, directed by Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano, has become this year’s highest grossing foreign language film in North America surpassing Academy Award© winning A SEPARATION for the record. This milestone comes even before the film’s July 27th nationwide expansion and follows an expansive list of global and domestic acclaim and box office records.
The film has the third highest gross of all time in France and is the highest grossing French film in Germany ever, and has held the #1 spot in many countries around the world. Currently the worldwide gross is $356 million and counting.
The audience response in the U.S. matches the international love of the film. The film’s stars Francois Cluzet and Omar Sy, winner of this year’s César Award for Best Actor, France’s equivalent to the Oscars, have chemistry and charm that make for one of the most feel good films of our time. THE INTOUCHABLES has garnered awards at film festivals all around the country this year including: the ColCoa Film Festival’s Audience Award and Critics Special Prize; the San Francisco International Film Festival’s Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature; the Florida Film Festival’s Audience Award for Best International Feature; the Wisconsin Film Festival’s Audience Award for Best Narrative Film; the Nashville Film Festival’s Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature; and the Maui Film Festival’s Audience Award for Narrative Feature World Cinema.
THE INTOUCHABLES – SYNOPSIS

Based on a true story of friendship between a handicap millionaire (Francois Cluzet) and his street smart ex-con caretaker (Omar Sy), THE INTOUCHABLES depicts an unlikely camaraderie rooted in honesty and humor between two individuals who, on the surface, would seem to have nothing in common. Directed Eric Toledano and Olivier Nakache, the film was nominated for a total of nine 2012 César Awards, France’s equivalent to the Oscars, including Best Picture, and winning Best Actor for breakout star Omar Sy, and won the Grand Prize at the 2011 Tokyo International Film Festival.

NOCH MEHR KINO:
Wer noch nicht den Dark Knight gesehen hat, neben Avengers und Prometeus, kann man den zwei ein halb Stunden Epos in der Trilogie zu Batman durchaus empfehlen. In Deutschland wurde er zum Teil auch in VO also Version Original, auf Englisch gezeigt. Aber mit Pause , wobei die Theater noch mehr Popcorn und Getraenke verkaufen koennen und ein 20 uhr 15 begin um fast Mitternacht endete.
Bei den letzten julitagen ist zudem bei kleinen Programmkinos in deutschland Vorsichtgeboten,wenn man bei grosser Hitze gekuehlte Theater erwartet. Diese werden frischluiftgekuehlt, leider nicht besonders kuehl..."Nicht bewegen und viel Trinken " war der Rat der Kinogaenger unter einander, schade , kein Genuss... Aber zu empfehlen eine Reihe von sehr guten franzoesichen Filmen und auch weiteren in der Vorschau, die es vielleicht nach USA schaffen.
Das Haus auf Korsika, ein nachdenkenswerter Film ueber eine junge frau, die ein haus auf der Insel erbt und ihr Leben veraendert.
Martina gedeck, grosse deutsche Schauspielerin wird bald in Die Wand zu sehen sein, Horror einer ganz persoenlichen Art, die ihre grosse leistung in "Das Leben der Anderen" wiederholt.
Spiederman ist zwar eine Wiederholung altbekannter Story, die auch am Broadway spielt, aber dennoch sehenswert. Prometeus ist in vielen Aspekten wie Alien, aber einfach super in Bild und Geschichte.
Das verflixte Dritte Jahr, nach dem Motto: Im ersten Jahr kauft man die Moebel, im zweiten stellt man sie um, im dritten Jahr teilt man sie auf" ist ein witziger Film zum Thema Beziehungen, franzoesische Komoedie des Regisseurs, der vor zwei Jahren mit "39.90" auch einen super Erfolg in Europa hatte.
Viel Spass im Kino, und eine schoene Woche wuenscht Ihnen
Ihre Susanne Nielsen

NOCH MEHR KINO:
Wer noch nicht den Dark Knight gesehen hat, neben Avengers und Prometeus, kann man den zwei ein halb Stunden Epos in der Trilogie zu Batman durchaus empfehlen. In Deutschland wurde er zum Teil auch in VO also Version Original, auf Englisch gezeigt. Aber mit Pause , wobei die Theater noch mehr Popcorn und Getraenke verkaufen koennen und ein 20 uhr 15 begin um fast Mitternacht endete.
Bei den letzten julitagen ist zudem bei kleinen Programmkinos in deutschland Vorsichtgeboten,wenn man bei grosser Hitze gekuehlte Theater erwartet. Diese werden frischluiftgekuehlt, leider nicht besonders kuehl..."Nicht bewegen und viel Trinken " war der Rat der Kinogaenger unter einander, schade , kein Genuss... Aber zu empfehlen eine Reihe von sehr guten franzoesichen Filmen und auch weiteren in der Vorschau, die es vielleicht nach USA schaffen.
Das Haus auf Korsika, ein nachdenkenswerter Film ueber eine junge frau, die ein haus auf der Insel erbt und ihr Leben veraendert.
Martina gedeck, grosse deutsche Schauspielerin wird bald in Die Wand zu sehen sein, Horror einer ganz persoenlichen Art, die ihre grosse leistung in "Das Leben der Anderen" wiederholt.
Spiederman ist zwar eine Wiederholung altbekannter Story, die auch am Broadway spielt, aber dennoch sehenswert. Prometeus ist in vielen Aspekten wie Alien, aber einfach super in Bild und Geschichte.
Das verflixte Dritte Jahr, nach dem Motto: Im ersten Jahr kauft man die Moebel, im zweiten stellt man sie um, im dritten Jahr teilt man sie auf" ist ein witziger Film zum Thema Beziehungen, franzoesische Komoedie des Regisseurs, der vor zwei Jahren mit "39.90" auch einen super Erfolg in Europa hatte.
Viel Spass im Kino, und eine schoene Woche wuenscht Ihnen
Ihre Susanne Nielsen
