The Comedy of Domestic West Germanism 'Easy and Aussie' - the movie is very unexpected both in genre and in meaning.
By genre 'Easy & Aussie' perhaps the closest to those films that are called 'dramedy'. Although there are too many social satire and incendiary and funny episodes for one hundred percent drama. And for a romantic comedy (in the sense that the term is now embedded in) 'Easy & Aussie' too serious. There are too many realistic, 'live' characters, not template characters-functions.
And it is living, clearly taken from life characters - the main advantage 'Easy and Aussie'.
Isi (Isabelle) is the daughter of a billionaire who wants to be a cook. He already knows how to cook.
Aussie (Oscar) - comes from a family of residents of East Germany Markovski (here it - ' speaking surname'), who moved to the West (the scene - Mannheim). Why, in fact, his name is Aussie.
Betty's Aussie's mother. Failing businesswoman, more interested in his personal life.
Aussie's grandfather is an unlucky bandit, due to his own misfortune ' packaged ' 14 years behind bars. And in prison, retrained as gangsta rappers. Hates all migrants from Asia and Africa a'do pile' and LBGT.
Chuni is an Arab, Aussie's best friend.
Already on this list of the main characters 'Easy and Aussie' it is clear that we are waiting for the original spectacle. But it is not enough to invent heroes - it is also necessary that the viewer believes in them. And Oliver Kinle (writer and director 'Easy & Aussie'); put a lot of effort into it. So, he left the typical and, one might say, begging dramatic opposition ' bad rich - good poor'. Both have good and bad traits here.
In addition, figuratively speaking, here the heroes ' all the guns shoot' and therefore even improbable situations seem quite convincing. So Aussie's grandfather is out of jail as a rapper, which is unlikely. But Oliver Kinle confirms this to the viewer and the case - then we see how the grandfather ' sparks ' on a rap battle. With a very rude ... and homerically funny rap composition.
Strictly speaking, such a script ' animated' - purely insertive episodes, but if we consider that 'Easy and Aussie' - not just a film about love, but also a picture of everyday life and mores, they are quite appropriate here.
Although, on the other hand, the characters here are often so voluminous that at times they seem to score & #39; the plot, pushing its main line into the background. This is the main drawback of the painting.
In general, the main dramaturgical line has been used so many times in a variety of forms in world cinema that it can be called textbook and even ' wandering': ' Roman Holiday', 'Pretty', 'In Love at Will', 'Singer at Wedding' ets. But here Kinle tried, adding a few plot twists. The main characters love each other, hate each other, then love again, then hate again, so it is impossible to predict in advance how it will end. True, the action because of these twists, sometimes sags, then on the contrary, runs too cheerfully.
In today’s times, it is impossible not to mention the dignity and complete absence of socio-political bigotry. For example, Grandpa Markovsky is xenophobic and homophobic, and this personality trait does not color him. Especially in West Germany. But for the creators of the tape, this does not become a reason for any moral maxims. And then it turns out that grandfather Markovsky quite normally communicates with other races, and even for the sake of everyday comfort is not averse to come out.
