a bat's a bit too practical d.w. is rachel stewart has come extremely well prepared to explain germany's national obsession with hiking. 50 years ago the apollo 11 spacecraft was on its way to the moon when the astronauts landed on the live pictures were beamed into our living rooms it altered off a section of the moon and indeed outer space and in films the whole perception of the moon changed as well here's some examples of the moon on film starting with real pictures of massa's achievement off a century ago. it was perhaps the greatest human adventure of all time and shown live on television. a new documentary apollo 11 tells the story of the 1st manned moon landing it features digitally restored footage from nesses archive as well as rediscovered film reels that had never been seen before you have to kind

of whittle down one of the key moments or the moments of humanity that happen what were the things that stood out what really got me was the emotion on their faces you could see the way of what they were about to do. but the world of cinema was fascinated with the moon long before people landed there. french director george meany is to realistic a trip to the moon from 1902 is thought to be the 1st feature film ever made and certainly the 1st science fiction movie. was a performer and to me is a trip to the moon combines his flair for the theater and magic with the potential of the new medium of film the growth of crazy was unlike scientists land on the moon to find a magical place filled with unknown danger is where dreams could become reality. 25 years later german director fritz. long for trade

a journey to the dark side of the moon with his woman in the moon in it a troop of humans leave earth looking for gold which they find here the moon is seen as a place of escape from earth's problems as well as a place of promise in its own right of course since the lunar mission film portrayals of the moon have become more realistic but even now they reveal as much about our own fears and desires as they did a century ago. my colleague melissa holroyd is over the moon about this topic. it's always fascinated us though hasn't yet and it's fascinated us through film for over a century the moon is also very symbolic isn't it represents time because it's constantly changing it represents birth and breed birth but it's also represents the dark place within ourselves that we go when we need to regenerate and start again but since the moon landing the way perceived in movies has become much more realistic

gets become a lot more realistic fish or has that when i think about 1st man the 2018 film that is a very realistic film it's a very visceral film ryan gosling plays neil armstrong and he's in a very very dark place is surrounded by death his own daughter dies of a brain tumour his trip to the moon is something that he has to do he's not doing it to be a hero so he had the moon is shown as a dark lonely place words ok to just be it's also a place of new beginnings to see armstrong all alone dropping his dead daughter's bracelet into a crater and then he returns from death so to speak back to life on earth he's transformed but not for the better and another film. has the moon as a prize for transformation is the extraordinary film by duncan jones called it is called sin. it's called moving yes it's

a great film and it's easy to watch you can just watch it on you tube i think here we have 7 brockwell playing a movie he's on a 3 year long mining mission on the moon and he really is on the dockside of the moon it's a very moving film about free will and rebirth and hard. and unlike the some ready the moon is perceived as mysterious it can affect all sleep patterns and is the stuff of legends which is kind of great for movie plots yeah its sound is this sort of guide in this influence and in some movie plots take that a step further so we have like things that the cold horror a classic and the american werewolf in london from 1981 this film blends the macabre with a lot of humor it has a modern take on the classic werewolf legend the 2 u.s. backpackers getting into a lot of trouble ok melissa you can go from how the. american werewolf in

london fight for covering it as always thank you. now we're going to get comfortable with a great designer katherina come from me that's what she calls her collection of everyday household objects which she can so that they have no use at all are no that sounds strange doesn't it she's actually an architect with a wicked sense of humor does this in her spare time. how is anyone supposed to water flowers with this can. or sweep with this proof. how can you lift a pot off the stove with both handles on one side or eat with this for. cutting to come pradhan it renders everyday objects unusable also course me my intention is to make people laugh but i think there is a 2nd level i like us not to take these things all around us for granted they were

designed according to certain rules and only when you break these rules of the do you learn to appreciate these objects again so we should always think beyond our own limits. i love but above the will to live as if they were but up off the. counter in a company works as an architect in athens whenever she has the time she works on her be signed project uncomfortable collection has now grown to over 30 objects some of them have been used in an advertising campaign off the wall concepts have gone by on the internet. and i don't mean to come upon me as working on more uncomfortable design objects here she takes the ergonomics out of her tooth brush. up because i think i'm smart have a bit of a game of ip what's most important is to pick a suitable object it has to be something that's easy to use and that we take for

granted because we see it every day. this will be then i think about how i use this object and i sabotage one aspect of this use like you don't i come up with several different ways to do that and the one that makes me laugh the most while i'm sketching it out is the one that i develop their moral behavior as i make him off in the paper what i'll. come from he also gives workshops to teach others how to. design unusable things and she delights in the many useless ideas with the participants. got to be in a company has exhibitor designs all around europe the workshops are also small exhibitions over uncomfortable collection. this project the uncomfortable came at a time that was very hard for me or uncomfortable i wanted to become a designer but with the economic crisis in greece that wasn't easy so i decided to

become an uncomfortable designer and this project was an expression of my situation . for examination of the uncomfortable goes on. during a company has plenty more unusable ideas. she's mad i love it it's time to beat the germans our continuing series why rachel should looks at but to kill of things that a very german this week she's looking at a sports well old post if it was in the lympics germany would win gold silver and bronze because they are better prepared than anyone else to go hiking. have you ever been you're on holiday and you decide to go for a hike but you didn't really prepare for it and of course who do you come across from the trial german thanks. wow serious

shoes check out the practical bays rocks that look like that old weather jacket with that special trousers little to me oh boy please them there they are little things that. the germans love to walk of course those walking on those walking is on talks about see a goggle sunday stroll has long been established feature in the lives of many german families but a step up from this is or hiking the difference isn't necessarily about grade you know strenuousness is the band on involved planning a route and equipment. hiking is the most popular outdoor activity in germany whether it's a longer journey with stopovers and hiking huts or a quick day trip at the weekend young and old in any season they just love it. and for 4 does the models have to get arms off and one has been no mas if you didn't

get this money i should also not. to mention money on cash such unfit to go to church on finding a speech to get you might someone as. soon hot. mankinds should run kind and i tell him position lesson on trust on off relationship on the law to. the germans been braving the hills since time immemorial not quite back in the day hiking was for religious pilgrims tradesmen scholars and vagabonds. the german mountains and forests were seen as uninviting dangerous and it wasn't until the 1900 that german nature got itself some good publicity courtesy of the remand poets and painters joining forces to pick up the great out those people started to realise they could walk for pleasure the arrival of the railway meant that even city dwellers had easy access to the countryside. and then the germans did what the germans do best they go organized they formed hiking associations

marked out paths and even set up the 1st ever youth hostels. sadly even the wholesome pursuit of hiking couldn't escape the shadow of national socialism the nazis saw hiking as an elitist selfish hobby and they funneled use hiking members into the hit their youth. but in the post-war years or a new connection to nature became part of the healing process for many germans today hiking is more popular than ever and it's big business the germans spend billions of euros every year on hiking trips and fancy equipment. that's certainly plenty to keep them occupied in germany some 300000 kilometers of signposted hiking routes along forest trails alpine tracks wind valleys and coastal. but the germans are no longer just hiking at home one in 4 will indulge their hiking habit while holidaying abroad as well wherever they off there's another vital element to a german hike it's so important it's got its own but i know them all stopping off

for refreshment along the way maybe it's not sold some cake or just a cold beer to get your energy out of a lot of them. if you'd like to see more from the meet the german series showing you the quirks and need to use secrecies of this country just go to the website and do you know if you don't call them slash count so we have time for today thanks for watching i'm bob barr from.
