What is the message of the film and what did we learn from it?

 

Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar	Die Freiheit der Meinungsäußerung	Die Freiheit der Person	Die Freiheit des Glaubens	Die Versammlungs- freiheit
Dignity should not be replaced by entertainment. We can’t kidnap a person, in order to entertain other people.	You should not adulterate the truth. It isn’t right to create stories in order to publish them as real stories.	Everyone interpret freedom for his own. We can’t control any person, if the person hasn’t done anything	religion must find his way in our fast moving community	only together we are strong

 

 

 

 

 

 

What would you change in the film?

 

Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar	Die Freiheit der Meinungsäußerung	Die Freiheit der Person	Die Freiheit des Glaubens	Die Versammlungs- freiheit
The men dies because of a heart attack at the end and no one is interested in that		The officer has to think about, if he want to control anyone.	More scenes whit her mother.	A bigger demonstration effect.
