Fall of the Berlin Wall +Video (GermanyFRG/ x Gilbert/GDR)

[danuska13.livejournal.com]

Hello good people out there :))

I want to wish you all a nice day, cause 20 years ago, the Berlin Wall tumbled and fell.
A day we should all remember and think of ^__^ I made an AMV ( and I'm gonna talk to you a bit more about it :3 I hope you are interested :DD *hugs all Hetalia Fans on this special day* 



 As you all know, Germany was seperated once after the War. After WW2, the Allies seperated Germany in two pieces. The capitalistic Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) for England, America and France and the socialistic German Democratic Republic (GDR) for the Soviet Union. For exactly 40 Years, there existed a stalinistic "Communism" (I don't think Stalinism is Communism, it's a dictatorship) was the policy of a repressed nation.

But let me make one thing clear, the GDR wasn't as horrible as you might imagine <_<''
Many people have the picture of a North Korea now, it's something smiliar, but North Korea is much more extreme than the GDR was ^^ My parents were living in the GDR and they were happy, you didn't have this mass production of food like in a capitalistic system as today and you were happy about many many smaller things that are normal for us today; and that's special!

I finished this Video really quickly today, so it could suck a bit XDD'' What's important about that, is that you MUSTN'T mistake East Germany for Prussia, really XD Prussia is also adapted as "East Germany" in the Manga, but Prussia didn't have to do anything with the GDR ^^;;;
But I took our beloved Gilbo as the GDR in this video :)) "Wind of Change" by the Scorpions is THE anthem for the Fall of the Wall, when you hear this song, everyone think of our German Unity :)

I HOPE YOU ENJOY :DDDDD

The ceremony of tonight was great, and so is your AMV!

[danuska13.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh the whole Domino-Thing at the Brandenburg Gate was also showed in other countries??
I just thought it was shown in Germany XDD /fails/

[maikichelorrain.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we had a special night about the event in France too - and we had lots of documentaries about it last week.
It's a great event for Germany, but it also was a great time for Europe after all!

[aveona.livejournal.com]

It's (the Domino thing, apart from the main Berlin wall article) in the front page in one of our local broadsheets :)

[dilemina.livejournal.com]

Ack...colored font on a colored backround....dnw. >_<;;;

Is it possible for you to lj cut the video? I'm on dsl and it lags my flist.

[danuska13.livejournal.com]

Sorry, somehow it doesn't work this time T______T
*cries*
Somehow there aren't spaces between the texts and I don#t know where to put the lj-cut cause it's all a big mashup of LETTERS XD'''

[koneko-desu.livejournal.com]

If you use the rich text format you can see it with the html in place instead of just a wall of text.

For future reference, please put all videos behind a lj cut.

Great vid!!! "Wind of Change" is one of my favorite songs ever!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

[danuska13.livejournal.com]

Really? I just thought this song is only popular in Germany? XD

[alexis-hellsing.livejournal.com]

No, we love it here too, but it has totally different meaning for us.

[flaxmetal.livejournal.com]

[danuska13.livejournal.com]

Awwwh thank you <3 Glad you enjoyed it!

[minorychan.livejournal.com]

That's such a heartwarming video! :D

Das muss damals echt Wahnsinn gewesen sein. Ich war zu jung zu der Zeit um das bewusst mitzukriegen. :)

[danuska13.livejournal.com]

Also ich bin erst 15 von daher :) Ich habs ja auch nich miterlebt, schade

[lai-choi-san.livejournal.com]

Stalinism not being communism and GDR's personality having nothing to do with Prussia ("Goodbye Lenin" is a good illustration), I so agree with you !

This video is perfect to commemorate this day on the com ! Thank you !

[danuska13.livejournal.com]

Thank you SO much for agreeing with me!!

[mitsukirox101.livejournal.com]

I seriously love German History, and ever since we watched Goodbye, Lenin! in my German class, the role of the GDR has been one of my favorite parts. Actually, We watched a lot of videos about the GDR in that class, it was fascinating. I was so angry at my History teacher last year, because she screwed up the curriculum and so we never got to actually study it in class D< I also got to go to an art exhibit earlier this year comparing the art of East and West Germany over 40 years during the Cold War. It was soooo awesome. Afterwards they put up a big canvas outside and said, "pretend this is the Berlin Wall" and so me and my friend painted Germany and Prussia on it. It was pretty great.

.....I think I got sidetracked there....

[danuska13.livejournal.com]

I actually hate German History xD
We were assholes anytime and anywhere =___=

The WHOOOLE thing with East Germany and West Germany is Germanys fault too Oo If they hadn't started the war, Soviet Russia never would've bothered anyone <_< Soviet Russia didn't WANT us at first at the end of WW2, did you know that? XD The Soviets were too busy with their 15 (i think) countries they had to keep in their socialistic system... Althouuuugh I gotta say that it's just PARTLY Germany's fault, they didn't start WW1 alone ^^; Although almost everyone learns that it's Germanys fault in school -_-' But I'm glad that there are some people left in this world that are interested in German History :))I saw a Documentation about stereotypes of Germans, and one student in a university said: "The only German I know is Hitler!" How people seriously think that Hitler was German, not Austrian .___. I mean, just because the austrian actor Arnold Schwarzenegger got famous in America, doesn't mean he's american XDDDD *ROFL*

[rfienneslover.livejournal.com]

I mean, just because the austrian actor Arnold Schwarzenegger got famous in America, doesn't mean he's american XDDDD *ROFL*

*facepalm* But, he is. Arnold Schwarzenegger may have been born in Austria, but he has US citizenship. He's the governor of the state of California. You have to be American to hold office in the US. Sorry, but you didn't pick a very good example at all.

[danuska13.livejournal.com]

Are you American? I bet you are.
Arnold Schwarzenegger has full Austrian blood, so he's not American -_- People in America have a different sight on things than Germans. It's about the "blood" here. You automatically are American when you're born in America xD That's so stupid, a classmate of mine who's fully German was born in America because his mother was on a vacation there, so he's "American" now <_<''' Just the President has to be "real American"; governors just have to have a US citizenship. US citizenship does not mean you're American, well not here. If a full Turkish has a German citizenship here, he's still seen as Turkish, what he is. Citizenship is seen as really important in America, but not here ^^;;. Here it's about ethnicity and blood, not where you have been born or something. He just got a citizenship over the years that he lived in America, but he has Austrian parents and that MAKES him an Austrian, so it is a good example /dissed

[rfienneslover.livejournal.com]

What's with the hostility? :/ I honestly thought you weren't aware of Schwarzenegger's US citizenship. As a multicultural/multiracial/multiethnic nation, the US really doesn't have the option of taking the "by blood" stance when it comes to determining nationality. It isn't "stupidity" it's a matter of practicality. I understand that different countries have different ways of looking at things. Hopefully, you'll eventually gain the maturity to be able to understand and respect that, too.

[quandtuniverse.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, but the assholes are always the most interesting to study! I'm also half German so I'm interested for heritage...

Yeah, you see, we never learn anything really in our history classes, and they're always so terribly biased, but it's better than nothing. I hate it when people are so ignorant about things. I almost wrote a research paper about the White Rose for my English class, but I couldn't find enough sources :(

That's so true! But it's kind of funny, I live in California and Schwarzenegger is the governor, but I always have to pause and think for a second to remember he's Austrian. Then again, I don't think about him really XD

[hinote-tenma.livejournal.com]

That was absolutely beautiful! ;__; It was so well done, and the song really fit the theme perfectly... I actually got a bit emotional, while watching that... :D It was sweet.
I was thinking about this today, and I didn't even remember that this was the aniversary of the wall falling. o_o Weird how things turn out that way, huh? xD

[danuska13.livejournal.com]

Well this song was extra wrote for these Events during the Peaceful revolution, so ^^
I'm glad you enjoyed it :DD

[fairykingaub.livejournal.com]

Eh, I dunno if I can believe that it wasn't horrible as we imagine because of the horror stories I've heard and people getting killed and all that... I've had friends who were alive in USSR countries and areas at the time and how horrible it was.

As for the GDR having nothing to do with Prussia.. I can't agree with that at all since if I remember reading correctly old Prussian territores fell in there and I've been told by a few Germans that what was east Germany is still called Prussia by the people who live in there.

But I don't know first hand so IDK.

As for the vid, it gives me an error D:

If I don't make sense ignore this post, I had to take a perscription painkiller for my teeth OTL. But I still had an idea of what I wanted to say so...I didnt wanna forget.

[lai-choi-san.livejournal.com]

I think that danuska13 wanted to say that if GDR was a nation-tan, his personality would be very different from Gilbert.

[danuska13.livejournal.com]

If you had carefully read what I was writing about you'd change your post ^^;;
I EXTRA wrote it for people who really think that a German associates Prussia with the GDR <_< "What's important about that, is that you MUSTN'T mistake East Germany for Prussia, really XD Prussia is also adapted as "East Germany" in the Manga, but Prussia didn't have to do anything with the GDR ^^;;; But I took our beloved Gilbo as the GDR in this video :)" Something just happened to you if you critized the system hardly and tried to escape over the wall. Nothing happened when you just were wuiet and didn't do anything about it ^^ People had a very peaceful life in the GDR, and I'd honestly rather live in the GDR than in today's Germany. I'm not fully agreed with the methods they had in the GDR, but it was the first step to Marxistic Communism and that's my goal ^^ I'm on demonstrations for a new kind of government here in Germany, because the capitalistic system that rules now is not much more horrible that the GDR. People are as repressed as in the GDR, just in a capitalistic way. What do you mean by "gave me an error"?
