(Review)
Born to watch, ordered to watch! That sounds as finding at least as much as as Excuse me. But who feel the accusation of the Schaulust as justifiable reproach? We To want to see and we demand optical stimuli. Our eye is just as greedy as insatiable! We To want to look tired and every feast invites the new, bizarre, the odd and the unusual as a seasoning of the everyday.
When we stand at the end of the year, when the become pictorial history of us past rolling, we stare alike packed like tormented in the flood of this images in our optical capacity helpless goes under. We have seen much, we have perceived much, but the time to look at, we didn't have the things and us.
Granted, can be seen as the things and they can be seen as. Some groaned under the heat, the farmers were desperate, the winemakers were enthusiastic! You however, to take stock, To try try you, all under a hat to get and you will see, how hard to separate the minor from the essential. Who wants to decide today where the fun was ending and the Ernst began.
We try to overlook the year 1959... and da fly by even the scraps of memory: A rebellion is crushed a folk hero agitated a Negro tribe celebrates a disagreement will be settled.
Pictures a year, that are only confusing in the time lapse of the review.
Now, we have no intention of presenting the year 1959 in optical sensation numbers, although, Yes, although sometimes to be of the opinion that we live in a time, in the Very much easy listening as well as the prestige flies one quite. (Original sound)
But we begin to sift, we begin to find the focus and we begin that this year - we can say it without exaggeration - end of an era came: the era of Theodor Heuss. For ten years we have accompanied him on all his presidency and the amiable documents he left us there, report of human size and great humanity. Unbeatable however remains the filming for the 80th birthday of Nobel Laureate Otto Hahn.
(Original sound)
A short time later: his farewell speech to the German athletes.
(Original sound) Thanks to Theodor Heuss was summed up in a single sentence: (interview) and all desires and hopes accompanied his successor: Dr. Heinrich Lübke.
As the year of a deepening split will be 1959 one day in our history books listed. For months, took the war of nerves to Berlin and memorable we have the ghostly appearance of the Soviet Prime Minister on the night Stalin-Allee in East Berlin.
(Original sound) The Chronicle of Berlin will be worrying chapter in German history for future generations perhaps. And the people who came here randomly in the picture, will play a crucial role in them all.
The sweeping architectures of the Hansa district, which affect their outposts to the sector border, as monuments of self-confidence, will eventually be to witness of a bitter contrast, a contrast, which we hope he will overcome one day because this border is a political, economic, an ideological boundary and no boundary between people. In the face of the Eastern world, which already will be realized with structures and terms of emergency remains Ernst Reuter one of oppressive topicality: (quote) Berlin was not disclosed. It was agreed, to entrust the Berlin issue of a Summit Conference to the Geneva meeting of Foreign Ministers to do five minutes before 12. The Soviet threat was put on hold.
The American Vice President Nixon appeared as an ice-breaker No. 1. His visit to the mighty of the Kremlin was exceptional and unusual as it is successful. Nikita Chruschtschew was totally transformed. Of hours to - so it seemed - he was attempting to be the kindness in person.
Through his visit to the United States, Hrushchev became the most photographed man of the year. Understanding worked with the photographers, but what concerns the understanding with President Eisenhower so you said probably stubbornly past each other in the crucial points. It is an onkelhafter Hrushchev, which this year is smiling in the picture, but where politicians always smile is a danger that a leutseliges mine game is scaled down and forget the reality of what happened.
Political travel have been capitalized in 1959 and the small world tour of the American President was a company over which the word was hope.
The road led to a Summit Conference through almost 36 thousand km and a total of 11 countries. Pakistan and India, which sees a Communist expansion to today more than ever, prepared a triumphant welcome to Eisenhower.
The operations in the Asian region this year were world politics in the Centre. The ancient priest State Tibet experienced a similar fate to Hungary. Was among the refugees, who could refuse access Beijing, also the spiritual leader from Lhasa, the Dalai Lama.
In Laos, the inhabitants defended their borders against communist abuses. And in India the population protested against invaders from the Red China.
The Red mass State - economically supported by Moscow - begins to expand. 650 million Chinese who multiply to another million every month, forcing us to the thoughtfulness.
It requires all of our political attention to recognize the essence of these images that come from a world whose Prinzipien are incomprehensible for us. Family life is reduced to a minimum, that child is already in the service of the State, the so-called evil thought screamed through the slogan of young pioneers dead.
Outer and inner pressure, industrialization is completed faster than it ever before could take place in any country. Each project is a project of mass! The man has fallen down to a number concept usable only in the addition of.
Culture here means production! In the year two thousand, one wants to surpass America's steel industry in China. In the year two thousand, every second person will be a Chinese. And the young Chinese is already a perfect, perfectly functioning person. A problem that often deal with us.
However, a topic that interested us especially burning was the tremendous cultural rise of mankind.
After it was agreed obviously, that our globe has no worthwhile tasks to provide more, began with the conquest of space.
The year 59 in retrospect seems a single hymn on the triumphs of technicians and engineers. Orbiting the Earth by satellite, the Moon of a rocket hit and the first experimental creatures on the test drive to Venus. With the attraction of the earth it gone apparently forever.
And if we now return to Earth by our Moon escapade and see it in our faces, then remains only the question of whether we will be able to cope with this present and their problems. Because one thing is certain: the man on the moon has become the missile target, today, is different from the man in front of 200 years for the Moon was a loving, almost devotional contemplation. But maybe this is a human error again.
