Cinemaxx Bremen

This is one of the famous cinemas in Bremen, it called Cinemaxx. It consists of 9 theatres. What makes it different with cinema in Indonesia: In Indonesia, 1 theater plays the same movie in one day. But not in Germany. One theatre can play 2 to 3 films in one day, so you really have to pay attention on the schedule.

What I don’t like about this cinema, it doesn’t have a place in the armchair to put your drink. I guess this Cinemaxx should have been renovated cause there’s other cinema in Bremen that has more facilities like drink placer and even sofa size chair.

This is how Cinemaxx looks like.

Posters

Like in everywhere, German clubs and discotheques always create parties to attract people in visiting their places. And to advertise the parties, they usually made posters and leaflets to be distributed in public places.

The advertisements always have pictures of sexy girls. When I saw 2 to 3 leaflets in my post box, I thought German clubs and discos are really serious in organizing the parties. They pay models to pose for the advertisements, design it, and then print it. Imagine if they have to make the party every week. How do they manage it cause photo shoot takes time and then you have to select the picture from, maybe, hundreds of them. And then again doing the lay out before finally it is printed. Wooow!!! These guys are really hard worker and this is really a serious industry!

Until one time, a friend of mine saw one of the posters and said that he’s the fan of the girl in the picture!!! And I thought, how come he knows German models while he’s just a new foreigner like me. And that’s the first moment where I learn that the pictures in the advertisements are just pictures taken from the internet!! The girl that he meant in the particular poster is a Hollywood actress. He even showed me in google the actress’ name and find the exact picture that used for the poster!!!

Woooow….!! And I thought Germany is well developed country where they respect such a copy right issues or stuffs. In this case, there’s no difference than in Indonesia then!

Cinema

It’s not easy to watch movies in Germany if you don’t understand German language as all (Hollywood) movies are dubbed in German. Although the voice over in the dubbed movie is nearly the same as the original, but sometime the translation can’t be fit to the original. Especially if it’s a comedy movie. So you might find that it’s not funny at all.

If you want to watch the English version or original version movie, you have to pay attention on the schedule. Once or twice a week these movies have a chance to be showed. Just look on the schedule and try to find the OV (Original Version) code. Usually these movies only played 1 particular time per week so, not the whole day they will be played.

However, not all original Hollywood movies have a chance to be showed in the original version. Only blockbuster movies will have this chance and usually it showed about 3 weeks after the dubbed version first launched. So yes, you have to be really patient and of course also wondering why the original version that is ready to be played should wait for a long time.
