hello from berlin.k, and welcome to this special edition of talking movies, in which we look back at highlights from the berlin film festival on the occasion of its 70th anniversary. so, the 70th anniversary of the berlin film festival, one of the big three in europe, ranking alongside cannes and venice. 70 years ago, the festival opened with a screening of alfred hitchcock's romantic psychological thriller, rebecca. since then, it has grown to become one of the biggest public film festivals in the world. this year, it screened around 340 features. the festival might take place in a metropolis, but it has an intimate connection with its audiences. it is cherished by its followers. well, i live here and it's nice to see that one of the most important film festivals of the world is hosted here in berlin, and there's... despite the horrible weather in february, there's that nice excitement in berlin, because everybody‘s, you know, looking forward to this festival. the opening night film, my salinger year,

. -- 50 miles from berlin. western allied forces under allied commander eisenhower were stuck on the rhine, three hunter miles away from berlin. -- 300 miles from berlin. this is where we are and here's where the western allies were at the time and here's where the soviets were. there is a real discrepancy in who is closer to berlin. the soviet offenses had smashed their way deep in, overrunning exposed provinces of eight east prussia and the coastal province of pomerania. seizing the german capital first was thus extremely unlikely for the western allies, short of a miracle. that it was also a highly risky operation that i would argue is foreign to eisenhower's sober sense of strategy. eisenhower does take his share of risks in the war, but by and large the operations on the map is not what you would consider nic andn it -- napoleo the chances they take and the risk they are willing to court. there's a 19 67 book by stephen ambrose, one of the fathers of this museum along with nick miller. eisenhower in berlin

in 1961 east berlin ors attended for the last time later that year the berlin wall was built. and stayed in place for almost 3 decades in 1990 the berlin ali was also held in the eastern part of the city for the 1st time. from then on it was a festival for all of berlin. in the year 2000 new festival the news opened at potsdamer platz in the city center in its 70th anniversary year of the festival's past came back to haunt it. its 1st director was revealed to be a high ranking nazi in the film directorate set up by. the festival's organizers have said that bowers role will be investigated by an independent group of historians but the burn in iowa is experienced in dealing with the past and the press. after all it is a political festival. what lies behind singapore's. the dreams and nightmares of around $1000000.00 migrant workers they make up about a 6th of the population and although they greatly contribute to the economy in asia's richest nation they remain almost invisible on the edge of society. is my real living in separate worlds i feel this documentary i want to assure

you're here and driving here over to berlin. with these big forces sitting on your flank is probably impossible. there are all sorts of reasons i think the berlin option is not realistic in terms of operations or strategy. as you have heard, one other decision had been taken at yalta that is important to this narrative. this had to do with the wrap up of the pacific war. stalin promised to enter the fight versus japan in two months or three months after germany surrendered and the war in europe was terminated. so, in two or three months it was going to be a colossal logistical challenge to get across the trans-siberian railway and ready to fight in east asia. stalin lied and cheated his way through a career as a miserable human being i think but he kept that promise at least. on august 9, 1945, the soviets launched a great invasion of japanese occupied manchuria. it was not until i was admiring it i realized it was in spanish. taken from a spanish source and i will be happy to talk anyone through it needs that. the graphics are

he wrote a book called eisenhower in berlin 1945. the decision to halt. not driving for berlin but halting here at the elbow where americans would eventually stop. he was one of the first, i think, to make a sustained argument in favor of the decision not to go for berlin, not to risk 80,000 or 90,000 or 100,000 men in a senseless fight for a city that was going to be divided amongst the allies anyway. that is essentially the contour of ambrose his argument in eisenhower and berlin in 1945. it is still a book, like everything steve ambrose wrote, it is still a book well worth reading but in fact, the strategic context for all these developments was laid again at yalta, after this show of inter allied unity against germans. a lunch for berlin that snatched the big prize from under stalin snows would have been difficult to justify. i might even say difficult to explain and amongst people who would have a hard time understanding, it would be a lot of americans. stalin was paranoid of the possibility and paranoia was a way of life. feeding stalin's paranoia w

just about 50 miles from berlin. at the time, western allied forces under allied commander eisenhower were still stuck on the rein, 300 miles away from berlin. this is where we are at the time and here is where the soviet -- sorry, i don't mean to -- sounds like the home team. here is where the western allies were at the time and here is where the soviets were. a real discrepancy in who is closer to berlin. but soviet defenses had smashed its way into the reich itself, overrunning east prussia here and the coastal province of pomerania and came to rest here on the rivers. seizing the german capital first was unlikely for the western allies but also a highly risky operation that was foreign to eisenhower's sober sense of strategy. eisenhower does take his share of risks in the war but by and large the operations on the map are not what you could consider napoleanic in the chances they take, in the risks they're willing to court. that's a little 1967 book by steven ambrose of sainted memory. steven ambrose, of course,
