Filmbesprechung "Das Wunder von Bern”
Filmbesprechung "Das Wunder von Bern”
Liebe Filmliebhaber **15.45 Kochen** **17.15 Essen, um Freundschaften aufzubauen und zu pflegen** **19.00 Film privat anschauen** **21.15 Besprechung** Das Drehbuch stammt von Sönke Wortmann, Rochus Hahn, Regie führte Sönke Wortmann Wir freuen uns über jeden, der kommen kann und Freude am gemeinsamen Besprechen hat. **Handlung:** 1954, 9 Jahre nach dem Ende des 2. Weltkrieges, gewinnt Deutschland überraschend die Fussball-Weltmeisterschaft in der Schweiz. Ein Krieg kann nur geführt werden, wenn der Wunsch nach Zugehörigkeit und Bedeutung auf etwas Höheres ausgerichtet wird - wie eine Nationalität, eine «bessere» Kultur oder die Rettung einer abstrakten Weltsicht. Der Mensch wird missbraucht und funktionalisiert: Er unterwirft sein Leben und sein gesamtes Fühlen, Denken und Verhalten einer scheinbar guten Sache und gibt sich dabei selbst und die Mitmenschlichkeit ganz auf. Dies ist nur möglich durch eine Erziehung, in der der einzelne Mensch sich unbedeutend, ausgeliefert und weitgehend unverbunden empfinden lernt. Der einzelne Mensch hat dann nicht erlebt und glaubt nicht daran, dass er sein Leben selbst beglückend aufbauen kann - zusammen mit anderen. Er fühlt sich nur bedeutungsvoll und entwickelt Hochgefühle, wenn er zu einer höheren Aufgabe auserkoren wird. In dieser Verwirrtheit der Gefühle lässt er sich sogar auf die Schlachtbank führen und opfert voraussehbar seine Familie, Ehepartner, Kinder, Freunde, Beruf, Gesundheit oder das Leben und sein Hab und Gut. Wenn das angestrebte Höhere durch einen Krieg verloren geht, fühlt er sich gedemütigt und erniedrigt - statt vom Elend befreit. Statt der Friede an sich und das gemeinsame Leben, führte für viele Deutsche erst der Sieg in der Fussball-Weltmeisterschaft wieder zu einem Gefühl, jemand zu sein. Der Film «Das Wunder von Bern» zeigt aus deutscher Sicht die Weltmeisterschaft. Gleichzeitig erlaubt es das Drehbuch, nachzuvollziehen, was der Krieg und die 11-jährige Gefangenschaft eines Vaters für eine Familie, die Familie Lubanski, bedeutet. Die Mutter hatte sich alleine mit ihren 3 Kindern in den verelendeten Nachkriegsjahren durchgekämpft - jahrelang in der Hoffnung, dass sie sich bei ihrem Mann anlehnen und das Leben gemeinsam gestalten könnte. Als der Vater heimkommt, ist er ausgezehrt und psychisch zutiefst beeinträchtigt, voller Ängste aus dem Kriegsgeschehen. Er glaubt, alleine für die Familie zuständig werden zu müssen und alleine wieder das Geld zu verdienen, um seine Frau zu entlasten. Er versucht zudem mit Gewalt in der Familie wichtig zu werden, indem er mit Disziplin eine höhere Ordnung herstellt, in der Zuneigung und Milde nicht vorkommen. Zufällig versteht seine Frau, dass seine Erziehung und all seine unmenschlichen Erlebnisse in Krieg und Gefangenschaft ihn von den Menschen fern halten. Sie verurteilt ihn nicht dafür. Sie erklärt sogar ihren Kindern, dass ihr Vater ein Opfer dieser Kriegstreiberei und Disziplinierung ist und er sich wieder der Menschlichkeit annähern muss. So taucht in seiner Phantasie im ganzen Alltagsleben immer wieder das angsterregende Kriegsgeschehen auf und erschüttert ihn. Seine Frau versteht seine seelischen Verstümmelungen und bringt ihrem Mann einfühlsam eine neue Sicht auf das Leben nahe. Sie vertraut darauf, dass er sich verändern kann und ermöglicht ihm damit, dass er ihnen nicht fremd bleibt und in ein gefühlsverbundenes Leben eintauchen kann. Er kann innerlich mit der Zeit freudvollere Tage aufleben lassen und seine seelischen Wunden mit ihr ausheilen. Im Film ist gut nachvollziehbar, wie er nach und nach liebevoll, verständnisvoll und mitfühlend werden kann. Dies wird besonders deutlich daran, wie er sich seinem Jüngsten annähert, mit dem er die Fussballleidenschaft teilt. Symbolisch kann er seine Tränenlosigkeit überwinden, was seine Annäherung an die Mitmenschlichkeit aufzeigt. Dieselbe Botschaft vermittelt eine Schweizer Putzfrau dem Trainer der deutschen Fussballmannschaft, Sepp Hersperger, der selbst seinen Lieblings-Fussballspieler «gerechterweise» sanktionieren und von der Mannschaft ausschliessen will, weil dieser gegen die auferlegten Regeln verstossen hat. Sie plädiert entschieden für ein anderes Menschenbild: Milde statt Strafe - als Beispiel für einen gefühlsverbundenen Umgang, der auch die Disziplinierung verhindert, durch die Krieg erst möglich wird. Ein weiteres Beispiel für einen immer verständnisvolleren Umgang unter Menschen, zeigt sich anhand eines Sport-Reporters der von der Chef-Redaktor auserkoren wird, von der Weltmeisterschaft berichten zu dürfen, just zur Zeit seiner Hochzeitsreise mit seiner Frau. In berührender Weise löst das Ehepaar diese konfliktträchtige Situation auf, indem er sie um Verständnis bittet für seine Karrieremöglichkeiten. Sie als eingefleischte Anti-Fussballerin aus grossbürgerlichem Haus begleitet ihn sogar zum Proletarier-Sport nach Bern und zeigt ihm damit ihre Liebe. Genauso begeistert er sich für sie, so dass er darauf verzichtet, privilegiert mit dem Zug der Weltmeister mitzureisen, um stattdessen ihre Schwangerschaft zu feiern. Die Drehbuchschreiber Sönke Wortmann und Rochus Hahn zeigen einfühlsam und detailliert viele psychologisch entscheidende Vorgänge auf, die zu einem friedlichen und verständnisvollen Zusammenleben führen. Weitere Daten 2026 für den FIlmabend - immer am letzten Samstag des Monats: 28.3., 2026 25.4., 30.5., 27.6., 29.8., 26.9., 31.10., 28.11., 19.12.

Oscar International Nominee: SIRAT at the Gateway Film Center
Join us as we get together to see SIRAT, an Oscar-nominated Best International Film from Spain that follows a father, accompanied by his son, goes looking for his missing daughter in North Africa. Here’s a description, trailer and our plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: A father, accompanied by his son arrive at a rave deep in the mountains of southern Morocco while searching for his daughter who vanished months ago at one of these endless, sleepless parties. As their search continues, the journey forces them to confront their own limits. The film is directed by Oliver Laxe and stars Sergi Lopez, Bruno Nunez Arjona and Richard Bellamy. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww-IXHXvS70 BUZZ & ACCLAIM: SIRAT has already won numerous awards, including 4 at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, along with the Chicago, Montclair and Toronto International Film Festivals! It also earned a whopping 11 nominations at the 40th Goya Awards, including Best Film and Director, and was nominated for Best International Feature Film and Best Sound at this year’s Academy Awards. The film is earning a stellar 92% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes which calls it “an unforgettable exercise in tension” and “a brutal reminder that the journey can be more important than the destination.” PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing and will confirm/announce details as the date gets closer.

Free In-Person Meeting: Get Over Losses & Betrayals, Build Lasting Relationships
Free In-Person Meeting: Get Over Losses & Betrayals, Build Lasting Relationships
This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
