Not sure if this is the right place to talk about it (it's not a single film so I did not know how to put it under movies) or if/how it has been discussed before - please move the post if necessary.
I just came across the old skating movies with Ina Bauer and in general the old German movies of that genre: Kauf dir einen bunten Luftballon, Der Weiße Traum, Ein Stern fällt vom Himmel.
It seems they are free to watch on youtube and I wonder if I will watch them in total or only take a peek and watch some scenes. I think it's very interesting how "der weiße Traum" was called "künstlerisch wertvoll/artistically valuable" by the national socialist film review board and how the remakes were also similar to the Heimatfilm remakes of those times during the 50s and 60s. I have also been thinking about Sonja Henie in this regard and how the picture of the "ice princess" has been shaped during those times. I only knew about those times in terms of figure skating on a very superficial level...
Have you watched the movies or is anyone interested in watching them and talking about them afterwards? Or is it so terrible to watch today you would not recommend it?
