nori1980 | "The Cloud"

My only German entry in a long time was brought to you by ultimate tiredness and a movie that had a huge imotional impact on me.
"Die Wolke" ( The Cloud) is about the "breakdown of a nuclear power station in Germany and the story of two teenager-lovers Hannah and Elmar who take refuge. 38.000 people die and Hannah unfortunately becomes contaminated."

I didnt even wanna see the movie, blame it on ignorance.. But both my mum and Tom had read the book and said it was truly important to see the film.
Both leading actors were completly new to me, but blew me away.

Type your cut contents here.

Their love story is beautifully written and acted. Elmar seems to be the boyfriend everyone wants to have. He shows such an unconditional love for Hanna, who loses everything in such a brutally way.
The scene where her little brother dies in a car accident due to the whole panic that arises is just horrifiying!

And then the thought about the truth that the movie tells.. There are nuclear power stations in germany and there have been 114 reported smaller "accidents" alone in 2004..
This could really happen to us. And that scares me.
That fear combined with the emotional power of the movie won't let go....
