Silvia in

"The story
is a typical road movie about two cancer patients, |
|
one with a brain
tumour
and the other with bone cancer, who run from the hospital because they
have never seen the ocean ("In heaven all they talk about
is the ocean and when you are there, you have nothing to
talk about"). Unfortunately they steal the car of a gangster
boss to get there. Two very stupid killers are trying
to catch them because there is a lot of money in the car which they should
take to another gangster boss. On their way there are many funny and
sad incidents like robbing a gas station by accident, a bank
robbery or the wonderful scene when one of them gives his mother, who is a great Elvis fan, a pink Cadillac.
The movie is starring Til Schweiger who is a great star
in Germany (sometimes it is said, he is the German Brad Pitt and an
American newspaper wrote about him 1." it is not so great to
have a Brad Pitt,"
and 2. "Schweiger is better". Rutger Hauer has a small role.
It is a wonderful movie to laugh and to cry and you should try
to see it. |
