巴比伦柏林第一季

——《魏玛文化》摘录（我或许也会将此评论的内容同样放在这本书的书评里）

魏玛文化7.7（美）彼得・盖伊 / 2005 / 安徽教育出版社“...，难怪有许多“好的德国人”，比如像海德格尔，会把柏林看成是现代的巴比伦而不愿去住在那里。

”1.关于柏林1）作者说：哈斯出生在布拉格，最后却完全认同柏林，他在那里以写电影评论成名，同时编辑《文学世界》（Die literarische Welt）杂志，然后“我发现我所认识的柏林人很少是真正在柏林出生的”。

不过，“只要好好用力呼吸柏林的空气，很快就可以成为柏林人”。

哈斯深爱柏林，这个城市让他变得多愁善感：“我特别喜爱柏林女人机灵快速的说话样子，也喜欢剧场、酒馆、街上以及咖啡馆里人们那种敏捷反应的样子——那种凡事无所谓却又认真专注的姿态，整个气氛是那么可爱迷人，冷静却不冷淡，一种说不出的机动性感觉，他们热爱工作，随时准备接受重大打击——然后再继续生活”2）茨威格记载了通货膨胀时期的柏林：“柏林，”他写道，“已经转变成为全世界混乱离谱的中心，酒馆和许多游乐场全都在一夕之间关门大吉，我们在奥地利所见和这里相较，简直就是小巫见大巫，这说明德国人是如何爱搞怪和多么变态，许多弄成柳腰细身的男孩子，乔装成女人在大街上招摇过市。

每一位高中学生都想在外面赚外快，在阴暗的酒吧里，我们可以看见高级公务员及高级财务官员和一些喝醉酒的税收肆无忌惮地打情骂俏。

及时古罗马时代秀多尼奥斯（Suetonius）时期的众酒徒狂欢清洁，都比不上这里化妆舞台的嚣张淫乱，许多男人穿着女人的衣服，女人穿着男人的衣服，在警察的仁慈目光下，若无其事般滑着舞步。

这真是价值崩溃的时代，连许多想来号称秩序最稳固的中产阶级亦难幸免，一样跟着一起疯狂。

许多年轻女子都骄傲选成自己是性倒错，在柏林的学校里，一个16岁的姑娘如果被怀疑仍保有童贞，会觉得是一件丢脸的事情。

”2.关于青年及传媒青年（右翼青年）,......，结果都会是他们牺牲自己的青春并把自己束缚在政治冒险和狂乱的意识形态上面，或是伪装成新形势的老式工业和军事官僚机器上面。

“年轻人导出乱闯，追随错误的神和领导者，但还是坚持像追寻清明和精神的律则。

”“然而，这些年轻人身处杂音、冲突的诉求方针、纳粹的血腥集会以及共和的病态环境当中，他们如何寻找到清明和精神的律则呢？

大众传播媒体，特别是电影，只是徒然引发混乱。

”作者接着举出《大都会》的例子，并认为其只能算是一部“缺乏想象力的狂想影片”，“只讲究画面构图，内容却十分贫乏空洞”。

“父亲的复仇和全能的母亲，可以说是魏玛共和时代最常见的两大重要主题，而此两者对年轻人而言都是深具破坏性的”作者提到著名的宣传家和出版家苏尔坎普（Peter Suhrkamp）描绘并指出了父亲复仇的必然结果：“这些年轻人的思想都是一些经过伪装的本能冲动，在他们的讨论之中，把个人的观念引申成为世界观”。

然后，他们努力攀附于英雄崇拜，“没有英雄他们就觉得自己一无是处、无所适从，但是他们从来不了解什么是困难，什么是危险，以及什么是现实的冷酷法则”。

总之，他们根本还未真正长大，现在，由于精神和经济的需要，他们就投向反知性的行列，把思想看成是无能的象征，所以对自由主义的党派不屑一顾，然后聚集在平凡而可靠的保护伞地下，他们喜欢“被训练、然后随时准备为命令他们的人效命”。

他们欠缺的是一种“真正的革命观念”。

然后作者写道：“这是1932年魏玛共和的真实处境：清明的视野和政治的无能、恐惧、怀疑以及非理性希望的时刻。

表面看来中产阶级的政治人物仍在运作他们的政治，但对其他人而言，危机实在已经迫在眉睫”3.最后一章的最后一段章最后一段几个月之后，希特勒成为德国的总理，魏玛人开始四处逃窜，身上带着魏玛精神，逃向伊索寓言式的放逐，逃向死亡的终结阵地，有的自杀——在柏林的公寓里听到敲门声后的自我了结，或是在西班牙的边境上，或是在巴黎租来的公寓里，或是在瑞典小村庄里，或是在巴西的某个镇上，或是在纽约的旅馆房间里。

当然还有许多其他的人带着魏玛精神继续活着，活出一番伟大的事业，有的在实验室，有的在医院，有的投向新闻事业，有的在剧场上，有的走入大学的学术园地，在各自放逐的他乡异国，让魏玛精神真正开花结果。

本书遗憾的是：目录对应章节处有一段文字那段没在正文中找到。

那是：创伤需要时间去治愈，并不是摇旗呐喊就能治疗创伤。

真正的进步依赖“木匠按部就班地工作，铁匠拿着铁锤不停敲打，还有商人仔细算计等等”。

这一段写的亲切朴实，又谦卑。

书后附录有魏玛共和的政治简史。

如果想了解相关时期一些内容，此书可略作浏览用。

必有剧透 按季更新 第一季共三篇弥补一下豆瓣的影评空白，梳理一下格里安和夏洛特的感情线，毕竟历史背景剧情分析和影评大家写的很多了，我们还是来愉快的磕CP吧！

话说第一季第二季剧情层次太丰富了感情线根本算不上主线，就我首刷还错过了两人第一次见面（刚开始几集一直在刷手机），著名的出电梯撞一起的场面还是看网友动图才get的（喜欢剧中的电梯场景，虽然看起来很有安全隐患），男厕所这段正式入坑，跳舞这段坚定不移磕上这一对CP。

两人发展的第一阶段，一个是要替老父亲完成任务，一个是想成为凶杀科女警，一个空降兵一个地头蛇，在资源能力上比较互补，加上两人都有天生警察特质（对犯罪的敏锐，对真相的追求）因此结成了非正式工作合作关系。

男主从外地来柏林，人生地不熟，布鲁诺还时刻防着他，女主虽然地位卑微，但作为长期混迹娱乐场所的老司机，利用自己的优势，给了他很多实实在在的帮助，比如带他去他进不去的夜总会；而格里安的出身和背景，也很容易就获得向上爬的机会和资源，比如成为议员的心腹、进入火车案现场和加入大型凶杀案调查组等。

成为凶杀科女警什么时候开始成了夏洛特的目标呢？

二刷仔细看了这个部分。

电梯一幕男主就以为女主是在凶杀科工作（其实是临时工），后来火车司机尸检时，夏洛特又很巧的被拉去做现场记录员，现场还语出惊人，更让男主对她的身份深信不疑。

广场上买烟这场戏，男主问你也买烟啊？

女主马上机智的说，给头儿买的，那口吻仿佛自己就是警队正式成员之一。

因此男主提出来我想查查这个案子，你来帮我吧（因为凶杀组那哥儿们根本不想查），结果女主还装腔作势的说这被我们头儿知道恐怕不好交代啊，那我们保密啊，聪明机智体现的淋漓尽致了。

只能说夏洛特代入感太强戏太好啊！

骗骗小白兔分分钟，就她这能力何止警察，完全可以胜任演员、私家侦探、特工、审计等多项专业工种。

在查火车案这件事上，女主这个外包明显比男主上心太多，火车案基本上是女主找到的大线索，过程中因为假冒警察私闯索罗金娜住所被抓，打电话让格里安捞她，谎言一秒破功。

格里安说你骗我，夏洛特回嘴说都是你自己以为的我没骗你，哈哈哈这里很好笑她顺口说到那些警察同事的时候，格里安还纠正她意思什么同事你看你同事同事都说顺口了。

夏洛特很怕因此错失了一起合作的机会，马上抛出一连串有价值的信息，尤其是荷兰人夜总会这个信息，她提出来你都不知道怎么进去我夜店老司机可以带带你。

格里安果然无法拒绝。

城市套路深系列啊，逃不出女主的魔爪了这是。

如题，枪都拿不好还做警察，太窝囊了。

第一次枪掉了，第二次放衣服兜里被人抢了，第三次从后面指着别人都被人打掉了，后面还没看。

他就不能拿好自己的枪？

死有余辜啊。

This informal paper is just attempting to give a picture about the roles that Junkers occupied in the different periods, mostly including Weimar Republic, Hilter's government and little part in the Prussia and the WWI. And all information are mainly from the Wikipedia. Due to my personal poor abilities of reading and writing English, it is hard to avoid the misunderstanding of content when transferring words from the pages and the illogicalities between the paragraphs. Instance to all above necessary introdcution, all the relevant pages will be listed at the end of this paper.First of all, the Junkers were members of the landed nobility in Prussia. Prussia, also called the Kingdom of Prussia, was a German kingdom that consituted the state of Prussia between 1701 and 1918. It was the driving force behind the unification of Germany in 1871 and was the leading state of the German Empire until its dissolution in 1918. One of the most famous people, known as a Junker, was Otto von Bismarck.

German Empire - Prussia 1871Although it took its name from the region called Prussia, it was based in the Margraviate of Brandenburg, where its capital was Berlin. In the area of Prussia, Junkers owned great estates that were maintained and worked by peasants with few rights. These estates often stood in the countryside outside of major cities or towns. In spite of the reason that the Junker estates were necessarily inherited by the eldest son alone, younger sons, all well educated and with a sense of noble ancestry, turned to the civil and military services, and dominated all higher civil offices, as well as the officer crops. Junkers' political influence extended from the German Empire of 1871-1918 through the Weimar Repulic of 1919-1933. It was said that "if Prussia ruled Germany, the Junkers ruled Prussia, and through it the Empire itself."Before and during the World War I (1914-1918), Prussia supplied significant numbers of soliders and sailors in the German military, and Prussian Junkers dominated the higher ranks. In addition, portions of the Eastern Front were fought on Prussian soil. Prussia - along with Germany as a whole - experienced increasing troubles with revolutionaires during the war. The Great War ended by armistice on 11 November 1918. Uprisings in Berlin and other centres began the civil conflit of the German Revolution of 1918-19. By late 1918, the Prussian House of Representatives was controlled by the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), which advocated Marxism. Kind WIlliam II knew that he lad lost his imperial crown ofr good, but still hoped to retain his Prussian crown; he believed that as ruler of two-thirds of Germany, he could remained a major figure in any successor regime. However, William discovered this was impossible under the imperial constitution. Moreover, he also lost his support of military who might have fought for hime. And Junkers certainly controlled the military.After the Germany's defeat in World War I and the November Revolution that toppled the German monarchy. The Junkers' main interests were served by the German Conservative Party (DNVP), which combined remnants of the German Conservative Party, Free Conservative Party, German Fatherland Party and right-wing elements of the National Liberal Party. This party strongly rejected the republican Weimar Constutution of 1919 and the Treaty of Versailles which it viewed as a national disgrace, signed by traitors. The party instead aimed at a restoration of monarchy, a repeal of the dictated peace treaty and reacquisition of all lost territories and colonies. During the mid-1920s, the DNVP moderated its profile, accepting republican institutions in practice (while still calling for a return to monarchy in its manifesto) and participating in centre-right coalition governments on federal and state levels. It broadened its voting basewinning as many as 20.5% in the December 1924 election and supported the election of Paul von Hinderburg as President of Germany in 1925. Under the leadership of the populist media entrepreneur Alfred Hugenberg from 1928, the party reclaimed its reactionary nationalist and anti-republican rhetoric and changed its strategy to mass mobilisation, plebiscites and support of authoritarian rule by the President instead of work by parliamentary means. At the same time, it lost many votes to Adolf Hitler's rising Nazi Party. Several prominent Nazis began their careers in the DNVP.After 1929, the DNVP co-operated with the Nazis, joining forces in the Harzburg Front of 1931,forming coalition governments in some states and finally supporting Hitler's appointment as Chancellor (Reichskanzler) in January 1933. There were many co-corporations between the DNVP and Nazi party. For example, the Nazis and German Nationals marched out of the Reichstag in opposition to a procedural rule in 1931 because there were many bankrupts happened in the Prussia area. The 1931 budget was then passed easily, and the Reichstag adjourned until October after only increasing the military budget and the subsidies for Junkers in the so-called Osthilfe (Eastern Aid) program. This program was a policy of the German Government of the Weimar Republic (1919–33) to give financial support from Government funds to bankrupt estates in East Prussia.However, between many co-corporations between these parties, some conflicts were also happened. One of the most interesting event was the relationship between Paul von Hindenburg, a very famous Junker, and Hilter. In the summer of 1931, Hindenburg complained in a letter to his daughter: "What pains and angers me the most is being misunderstood by part of the political right". He met Adolf Hitler for the first time in October 1931, at a high-level conference in Berlin. Everyone present saw that they took an immediate dislike to each other. Afterwards Hindenburg in private often disparagingly referred to Hitler as "that Austrian corporal", "that Bohemian corporal" or sometimes simply as "the corporal" and also derided Hitler's Austrian dialect. For his part, Hitler often labeled Hindenburg as "that old fool" or "that old reactionary". On 26 January 1933, Hindenburg privately told a group of his friends: "Gentlemen, I hope you will not hold me capable of appointing this Austrian corporal to be Reich Chancellor". Hindenburg made it clear that he saw himself as the leader of the "national" forces and expected Hitler to follow his lead. Initially, the DNVP had a number of ministers in Hitler's government, but the party quickly lost influence and eventually dissolved itself in June 1933, giving way to the Nazis' single-party dictatorship. The Nazis allowed former DNVP members in the Reichstag, the civil service, and the police to continue with their jobs and left the rest of the party membership generally in peace.During the Second World War, there were many Junkers occupied the high-level position in the Nazi Army, such as Gerd von Rundstedt and Erich von Manstein many World War II Field Marshals were also members of the Junkers, most notably Gerd von Rundstedt, Fedor von Bock and Erich von Manstein. Landowners like Helmuth James Graf von Moltke and the members of the Kreisau Circle were part of the resistance to Nazi Germany rule. As World War II turned against Nazi Germany several senior Junkers in the Army participated in Coleonel Claus von Stauffenberg's assassination attempt to Hilter in 20 July 1944. Fifty-eight were executed when the plot failed, among them Erwin von Witzleben and Heinrich Graf von Lehndorff-Steinort, or committed suicide like Henning von Tresckow. During the advancement of the Red Army in the closing months of the war and subsequent, most Junkers had to flee from the eastern territories that were turned over to the re-established Republic of Poland with the implementation of the Oder-Neisse line according to the Potsdam Agreement.After World War II, during the communist Bodenreform (land reform) of September 1945 in the Soviet Occupation Zone, later East Germany, all private property exceeding an area of 100 hectares (250 acres) was expropriated, and then predominantly allocated to 'New Farmers' on condition that they continued farming them. As most of these large estates, especially in Brandenburg and Western Pomerania, had belonged to Junkers, the government promoted their plans with the slogan Junkerland in Bauernhand! ("Junker land into farmer's hand!"). The former owners were accused of war crimes and involvement in the Nazi regime by the Soviet Military Administration, with many of them being arrested, brutally beaten and interned in NKVD special camps (Speziallager), while their property was plundered and the manor houses demolished. Some were executed.JunkerKingdom of PrussiaGerman EmpireOtto von BismarckGerman National People's PartyWeimar RepublicPaul von HindenburgEastern AidGerd von RundstedtErich von MansteinAdolf Hitler's rise to power

Angles:1. Retrieval of the erotic film, from Anno’s perspective;2. The movements of the Fourth International;3. The movements of the Reichswehr;4. The local gang;5. The movements of Gereon and Lotte; Contents: i. Background ii. Plotline from five perspectivesiii. Review I. Background: 1. Gereon went to war, abandoned his brother, had PTSD;2. Gereon’s PTSD was treated by a psycho-analyst who turned out to be no other than his brother Anno, and he was doing narcotics; 3. Gereon went to Berlin because his father needed him to track down a certain film;4. Gereon has a long-standing relationship with Helga, who abandoned him for his brother before the war, only to be with Gereon again after she was widowed;5. Lotte worked part-time at the police station;6. Lotte worked illegally at a nightclub;II. Plotline from four perspectivesi. Retrieval of the erotic filmEdgar the Armenian was the local gang leader, whose business included a high-end restaurant, a night club MOKA EFTI, escort services (which was under protection of Wolter), pornography production, narcotics and so on. Anno was his drug supplier and private doctor; the Father was his enforcer. Anno lured Gereon to Berlin by having Kornig make a film of Gereon’s father. Father would definitely want the film destroyed, but he wouldn’t be able to do so himself, so he would send Gereon to Berlin, which was exactly what Anno was betting on.Gereon came to Berlin, and was receiving psychological treatment from Anno. It is presumed that he got to know Anno through Edgar. And Gereon’s dealings with Edgar was still not clear.After Gereon came to Berlin Anno told Kornig to destroy the film, for its mission was completed. After that Anno would only have to let Gereon chase his own tail to keep him in Berlin. But Kornig did not destroy the film, and in a police raid, Kornig was taken into custody, and Franz was threatened into cooperating. If Gereon got the film, he might return to Koln immediately. So Anno asked Edgar to send the Father to take care of Kornig, and asked Franz to take the film from the production factory, and keep it in Edgar’s private room. During the raid, Franz tried to escape and fired a shot at Gereon from a Lignose. Wolter took the Lignose and pried out the spent bullet for Gereon.From the spoils of the raid, Gereon learned from the one piece of negative where the film was made from the resident photographer Graf; he tracked down the film factory, and knew that Franz was the one picking up the negative. Gereon and Wolter took Franz into custody. In turned out Franz suffered from PTSD as well, and was also under care of Anno. In custody, Franz suffered from withdrawal, and finally gave away the location of the film.Franz lured Edgar out; Gereon sneaked in the private room and took all the films and Edgar as hostage; in the chaos, Gereon shot Edgar in the hand, but let him go after they reached safety.Gereon and Wolter destroyed all the films and went to celebrate in a night club. Edgar had his hand treated at Anno’s, and sent the Father to pick up Gereon and take him to Anno’s. During session, Gereon escaped and killed the Father in pursuit. ii. The movements of the Fourth International;The Fourth International in Berlin was led by Kadakow, he was determined to support Torosky in Istanbul. His day job was a violinist, and sometimes he played at MOKA EFTI. His lover Svetlana let out that her family had a train full of gold and she was willing to devote the gold to Fourth International. Fourth International ambushed a train outside Berlin, and added the train of gold to it. Fourth International personnel personated as train staff and drove the train into Berlin. Meanwhile, Fourth International in Berlin forged necessary papers for the train of gold to be diverted to Istanbul, only that Svetlana filled in Paris as final destination. On the other side, Svetlana ratted the Fourth International to the Soviet embassy in Berlin, and their base was raided and all but Kadakow were butchered. When the train arrived at Berlin, Svetlana tried to take control of the gold, but the driver Boris would not cede control. In struggle, Svetlana was arrested and Boris escaped. After one night in a cell, Svetlana was released. She went to the train yard and switched the number tag on the train with gold. Kadakow escaped the slaughter and went to Svetlana’s. He was persuaded of Svetlana’s innocence, only to be double-crossed again.Boris went to Kadakow’s apartment, but Kadakow no longer lived there, it was Gereon’s room by then. During struggle, Boris dropped the cargo papers under Gereon’s bed. By the time, the Russians were waiting for Kadakow outside the apartment. When Boris emerged, they took him instead. After torture, Boris told the Russians about the gold. But he only told them about a train with gold in it, without telling them the number of the train. BUG: Boris was there when the ambush took place, and therefore he should know the number of the train with gold. And the Russians did not get it out of him. After escaping from death for the second time, Kadakow went to Edgar for help. He told Edgar about the gold, and the gang members raided the train yard at night. Only that Kadakow open the wrong train and was poisoned by phosgene. BUG: the train with gold was added at last, and therefore it should be the last train car of the whole train. Even without the number tag he should know which train to open.iii. The movements of the Reichswehr;Key members of the Reichwerhr: Major-general Seegers, WolterThe Reichswehr had been smuggling phosgene and weaponry into Germany through Nyssen’s company; they had been training armies against the Versailles treaty with the help of the Russians. Note that Premier Hindenburg the State Secretary Wendt acquiesced the Reichswehr’s activities. When the Reichswehr was smuggling a train of phosgene into Berlin, at a check point General Seegers signed on a paper in order for the train to pass. The Reichswehr would want the train be released and moved to another location as fast as possible. But the Russians detained the train claiming there was a train car of smuggled goods and should be found out and returned to Russia. But before the Russians could find out which car, the gang raid happened, and the fact that the train was full of poisonous gas was known to the police. Benda, a social democrat, was determined to bring down the Reichswehr. This gas event provided the best opportunity to investigate into the Reichswehr. But since the police did wrong during the May 1 riot, the Russian ambassador used it as leverage, and asked Wendt as intermediary to make the police let the whole train be returned to Russia.It turned out that Svetlana and Nyssen was in bed first. She knew his company was smuggling through freight trains, and that was when she came up with the idea of smuggling the train with gold into Berlin. But she could not do so alone, so she hooked up with Kadakow and used him to smuggle the train with gold into Berlin. In this phosgene matter, Nyssen became the scapegoat and was forced out of the board of his company and he desperately needed a feat to regain Reichswehr’s good graces; Svetlana was desperate not to let the train back to Russia, where it would be out of her reach forever. So Svetlana told Nyssen about the gold, and Nyssen told Wendt; and the three of them together with Wolter, they came up with a plan to intercept the gold outside Berlin. In the meantime, the Reichswehr was conniving to initiate a military coup and force Hindenburg to step down. They planned to assassinate both German and French Foreign Minister. Their plan was thwarted by Gereon, and the coup was a failure.iv. The movements of the gangThe gang had to do with the porn film, but basically it was Anno’s doing. Besides that, Edgar meddled with the gold business. After Kadakow opened the wrong train, Edgar still did not give up hope on the gold. A guy from the train yard told him that Lotte knew the whereabouts of the gold, so he abducted Lotte the pressed her for information. BUG: how could Edgar be sure that Lotte knew the whereabouts of the gold? v. The movements of Gereon and Lottea. Gereon went to Berlin to find that film, which was accomplished;b. During the May 1 riot, Gereon and Wolter knew the police wrongly shot civilians. Wolter wrote the report in the police department’s favor with a straight face. At first Gereon did not think this was right, but he would not want to help the communists either. At the end Wendt offered him a position in a secret internal affairs department, and he made up his mind to protect the police department. Therefore he perjured at the court. But this brought grudge from the communists. When they were about to lynch him, Edgar appeared to took Gereon to Anno. That was when Gereon remembered that he abandoned Anno in the battlefield, and that the doctor was none other than Anno himself. c. Boris was taken by the Russians after he broke into Gereon’s room. The next day Boris’s body was in the morgue. Gereon decided to investigate the murder. Lotte was at the morgue with Bolm, and Gereon mistook her for an official member of the police force. He decided to use Lotte to get inside info on the case; and Lotte thought if she could help solve the case, she might be able to join the force as a criminal assistant. Gereon and Lotte got Svetlana’s address from Kadakow’s belongings, but it led nowhere; after another check of Kadakow’s belongings, they found the band Kadakow played violin for. From the band leader, they knew the base of operation of Fourth International. Lotte and Janicke went to the place, where the slaughter took place, but it was already scrubbed clean; all they could find was a fake document stating that a train car was bound for Istanbul, which was also a dead end. Lotte asked an assistant criminal pathologist Rudi to dissect Boris’s body, and learned that he was a railway worker. Lotte went to the train yard, just in time to see Benda seized control of the train after the poisonous gas situation. Lotte called Gereon to the scene, and from then on, Gereon worked with Benda to bring down Reichswehr. Later, the slaughtered bodies of the Fourth International members were discovered. Wendt used the May 1 deaths to make Zorgiebel let go of the train as well as turn a blind eye to Reichswehr’s activities; but Gereon and Benda used the slaughter to press the Russian ambassador to give away files of Reichswehr menbers. d. As a Reichswehr member, Wolter wanted to know what Gereon was doing in Berlin, so he threatened Lotte to spy on Gereon. Wolter knew that someone close was spying on him, but it turned out the spy was Janicke, an assistant, who was spying on behalf of social democrat Benda. Janicke knew Wolter was conniving to intercept the gold, but his cover was blown, and was silenced by Wolter. But unluckily, Wolter used the Lignose to kill Janicke; and Gereon switched the bullet he used to kill the Father with the one fired from the Lignose. Therefore, Wolter knew Gereon killed the Father, and Gereon knew Wolter killed Janicke. e. Gereon learned that Janicke was spying for Benda, and that he had a notebook that could hold important info. Gereon stole the notebook from Wolter’s home study (nice long take) and gave it to Lotte to decipher. But Lotte was abducted by the gang and pressed for info. Lotte deciphered Janicke’s notes, and told Edgar about Reichswehr’s plan to intercept the gold. f. While Lotte was absent, Gereon and Benda were busy compiling evidence to bring down the Reichswehr. But the premier only gave them little time to interrogate the suspects, and then they were released. The first thing they did after the release, they undertook to overthrow the government by a military coup, which was stopped by Gereon. After that, Benda wanted to hold a press conference to expose the Reichswehr’s criminal deeds, but was ordered down by the premier. g. After Lotte was released, she and Gereon went to pursue the gold even without back up from Benda. Wolter and Reichswehr were waiting, but were mostly taken out by the gang; then the gang were knocked out by Gereon’s colleges. Gereon and Wolter found the gold was indeed coal, and Wolter was killed during escape. QUESTION: if Gereon really did find the gold, who would he give it to? Because among all the people who wanted the gold, Svetlana, Reichswehr, the Russians, the gang, none of them was the rightful owner of the gold. h. Benda was killed by an IED planted by the Nazis with the help of his maid Greta who thought her lover, an alleged communist Fritz was ‘killed’ by the police for stirring up disturbances. And Wendt too Benda’s place and made Gereon secret internal affairs officer. Lotte was officially enlisted as a criminal assistant. vi. Sub-plotsa. Lotte found a job at Benda’s house as a maid for Greta.b. Fritz was a Nazi, but he blended himself in the protesters of the May 1 riot, trying to find an angle, which was none other than Greta.c. Gereon slept with his former landlady Elisabeth.d. Helga had something to do with Nyssen.e. Moritz had the potential to become a Nazi.vii. Conclusions: their missions and endsGereon: a. to retrieve the film and destroy it: accomplished;b. to investigate the murder of Boris and the Fourth International members: not accomplished; c. to bring down the Reichswehr: not accomplished;d. to thwart Reichswehr’s assassination: accomplished;e. to bring the killer of Janicke to justice: accomplished, in a manner of speaking;Lotte:a. To become a formal member of the police force: accomplished;III. Review i. About the May 1 riot, of course the communists couldn’t win, because whatever the police did, they have the law on their side. ii. Honestly, there was no surprise that Gereon perjured before the grand jury. His loyalty was indeed frail, but helping the communists would do him no good either. If he helped the communists, he would become a traitor of the police department; besides, the communists would not thank him for helping. iii Gereon and Helga kind of remind me of Jack and Marilyn. But they are distinctively different. Yes both women were not loyal, for they both left the man of their heart for the brother and or money and status. But Jack would not have Marilyn back even if his brother was dead; Gereon and Helga? They couldn’t wait to be together again once Anno was declared MIA, not to mention that Gereon left Anno for dead in the battle ground. So it makes Jack a man of responsibility, of high morality, with a line in his mind that he would not cross; and it makes Gereon a weak-minded, morally disoriented and depraved man. It might look like that Gereon is loyal to the police department, in that he wouldn’t turn on his fellow officers, wouldn’t let Wolter get away with killing Janicke or conspiring to kill high ranking dignitaries; but what if the police department is led by other political forces? Such as the Nazis? I suppose as a Jew he would actually take part in persecuting the Jewish.

我个人是很喜欢看质感的历史剧的，然而这部剧的优缺点几乎同样明显。

其实在看到导演的时候我大概就有预感了，就像《云图》一样，这位导演痴迷于多线叙事，容易让人看得摸不着头脑。

所幸这次是电视剧，给了导演足够空间铺线。

饶是如此，我也差不多在第一季的结尾部分才基本搞清楚整个布局。

所以这次就不搞直抒胸臆那套了，写一篇指南向的推荐，顺便自己也理理思路，准备开始追第二季。

1.魏玛共和国首先，这部剧的历史背景对我来说挺陌生的，讲述的是魏玛共和国时期的故事。

魏玛共和国是指1918年至1933年期间采用共和宪政政体的德国，也就是一战与二战之间的德国。

而《巴比伦柏林》的故事开始于1929年，这是一个比较敏感的时间，毕竟差不多两年以后元首就上台了。

1929年柏林的局势其实已经岌岌可危，阶级分化严重、各色政党林立。

失业问题的空前严重，动摇了当时的社会根基，数量巨大的失业人群极易被操纵从而颠覆当前格局。

此时，各方势力暗地里的制衡勉强维系住了柏林表面的平静，然而任何一个微小的举动都会牵动各方的神经。

男主格里安因为调查一卷胶卷，从科隆来到柏林警局，但却最终深陷其中，与各方势力纠缠在一起，难以抽身。

2.社会民主党、第四国际、黑色国防军与地头蛇黑帮其次，整理一下第一季里围绕在男主身边的各方势力，大致有四个。

一是以犹太裔警局长官本达与男主父亲为代表的德国社会民主党，也就是当前执政的那个党派。

男主来到柏林，正是受父亲委托处理掉那份对他们不利的胶卷，而他此行的目的也得到了长官本达的支持。

目前来看，男主应该是社民党那一派的。

二是由男主住处的前房客卡达可夫领导的，潜伏在在柏林的第四国际势力，旨在推翻苏联斯大林政权。

虽然第四国际的人在前几集就被灭的只剩下一个人，但他凭借一车厢黄金的诱饵，成功地搅乱了柏林的局势。

而男主因为追查误入他房间那个苏联司机的死因，陷入这个由第四国际制造的漩涡。

三是男主在警局的搭档沃尔特背后的势力——主要由军队成员组成的“黑色国防军”。

其实这方势力是其中最不起眼的，似乎只是利用钢铁商人Nyssen偷运了毒气，然而这群人在最后几集的出场却让人细思极恐。

他们多数是一战的老兵，打着怀念战友的名号聚会，却试图再次发动战争收复失地。

而且在喜爱给小男孩灌输战争思想这方面，与元首真是极其相似。

这派势力也向男主抛出了橄榄枝，而男主因为录像带的冲击似乎也有些动摇。

四是拥有胶卷试图勒索政客的本地黑帮，这群人还因为黄金的诱惑加入了火车的争夺。

还有那个研究PTSD的医生，似乎试图利用男主心理创伤控制他，不知道是不是和他们一伙的，这里我看的不是很清楚。

3.胶卷和火车再次，整理一下第一季的案件，主要都是围绕胶卷和火车这两样事物展开的。

胶卷是男主格里安来到柏林的最初原因，而在最后一集男主也成功将胶卷从黑帮手里夺走并销毁。

这条线看似很简单，但是不排除后续影响深远。

比如，胶卷内容对男主冲击巨大，可能会对他的立场有所动摇；而黑帮也不可能就此放过，很有可能继续追究。

火车则卷入了更多的势力，军队方面是为了争夺偷运来的毒气，而第四国际及黑帮则觊觎其中一车厢的黄金。

因为第四国际的关系，这辆火车还吸引了苏联使馆方面势力。

最终却因为女主的调查，成功被警局控制。

可以说这趟列车牵动着军队与社民党当局之间的矛盾，也因为苏联使馆的卷入可能引发外交问题。

4. Charlotte Ritter最后还是要私心说一下女主。

虽然近几年不乏优秀的大女主电视剧，但是这部剧里的夏洛特是我近期最喜欢的女性角色。

外表苍白纤弱，内心却是超乎常人的坚定。

她的身体里似乎蕴含着一股蓬勃向上的力量，以致浓重的黑眼圈都掩盖不住她眼睛里的光芒。

我特别喜欢看她走路的样子，低跟敲在地上的声音给人一种不容置疑的感觉，似乎她一直坚定有力地在朝一个明确的目的地行进。

私心非常希望夏洛特能如愿以偿进入警察局，不单单因为她在第一季表现出的（个人觉得远胜于男主的）查案天分，还有她身上带着的那股劲儿，是这部压抑阴暗的电视剧唯一充满生机和美好的部分。

个人非常喜欢女主与朋友在周日游泳那段剧情，几个阳光灿烂的镜头一扫之前剧情带来的压抑，对于调和整部电视剧的基调非常有益。

以上都是个人观点，随便总结一下就可以开始舒服地追第二季了。

片子的主线很明确，就是为了给科隆市议员销毁不雅录像带，但这一条主线放在纸醉金迷，暗藏危机的魏玛共和国的背景下就很有意思。

各种真实历史事件构成的支线是本剧最大的亮点，第四国际为了翻盘，给远在土耳其的托洛茨基运送黄金

德国共产党在5月1的流血事件

军国主义的黑色国防军的复仇。

魏玛建制派对黑色国防军的提防和遏制。

每一条支线都是真实的历史事件，再加上本剧对于战后的ptsd的士兵l

失业的工人，没有生活保障的底层人民。

夜店里奢靡的德国人

种种魔幻场景的叠加描绘了一副魏玛共和国的浮世绘。

不管是书还是影视作品，市面上都少有对魏玛共和国的详细研究，所以像巴比伦柏林这样的德剧与其说是娱乐作品，不如说是一个文献，让大家更清楚的了解在希特勒上台前，那个两极分化严重，国家内部阶层撕裂，秘密组织阴谋政变的魏玛共和国的样子，也给希特勒为什么上台留了一个很好的注解

昨晚开始看“babylon Berlin"。

警匪本不是我的茶，只是过去好多年里，"Cabaret"一直被我当成自己没有之一的最爱电影，这个剧里有很多对Cabaret的“致敬”。

看了两集，来龙去脉并没有完全搞清。

主角是科隆官二代警察，来到柏林警署加入“社会风化小分队”(vice squad，大概是朝阳群众那个功能，集扫黄缉毒剿私于一体)。

表面上看，他追缴黄色电影和照片，并捣毁制造窝点例如图四(还有一个功能，他拿缴来的黄色照片跟药店老板换药磕，你看，哪里的条子不腐败捏？

)，实际上是为了拿回至少销毁一盘可能关系某领导前途的证据录影，大概是这半年来油管上爆料时经常拿来威胁对手的那种。

女主是贫民窟的孩子(住地类似大兴环境，似乎更脏乱差，尚未被驱赶)，白天是警署谋杀队的临时工秘书，晚上是所谓的爵士baby(舞女还兼点儿别的)。

与男主的交叉点出现在警署电梯，相撞，照片散落一地，她的都是谋杀，他的都是爱情动作。

匆忙中拿混了一张，这是最常见的包袱，后来断胳膊断腿的血腥照出现在兴冲冲欣赏黄片的药店老板眼前，镜头切换，不知下文。

另一条线，是流亡的托洛茨基支持者第四国际同志们的反革命(反斯大林)行动。

地下印刷厂，为五一国际劳动节暴动做准备，伪造旅行文件。

然而被最信赖的革命同志向苏联大使馆举报了(图五七是革命同志)，随即的血扫印刷厂一节有塔伦蒂诺“无耻混蛋”的影子，哗哗哗哗全是窟窿全是血。

卖高级酒的以次充好被餐饮大老板请喝茶，哦不是，请吃饭，煎鱿鱼吃到一半，出现《权力游戏》二丫的影子，“舌头是上帝给我们的最好礼物，能如此精准优雅地辨味，而本身也是一道美味…”哪里是鱿鱼。

一锅杂烩，还没理清，可是，who cares！

好看啊，撩人啊，今年的电影电视里最让人视觉满足的就是它了。

(当老年人有一个好处，觉少，一天能过出28小时)

瞬间看完了两季，真是过瘾！

精彩！

不过因为太想知道情节，提前刷了剧透。

所以要看的人千万别剧透，这样会更好看。

我认为编剧很巧妙，虽然巧合颇多，但是不至于被人诟病。

最后的结局也是出乎意料，又很温馨。

刚开始看，因为条线多+脸盲，云里雾里的，直到第三集才找到一点感觉。

于是最近二刷，才发现，好腻害！

第一集就开始和第二季呼应了，所以这部片子非常值得二刷，编剧实在独具匠心。

关于男主我很喜欢他，从《我们的父辈》就开始爱上他了，自带忧郁气质，眼神里有戏，带着一颗美人痣，令人过目不忘。

追了他好几部戏，品质都很不错，德剧翻来覆去也就这几个演员。

这部戏中，最后胖警官Bruno与他撕破脸皮对决时，鄙夷地说，男主拉特只会照章办事，没有自己的目标和立场，好像打心眼里看不起他。

然而，我并不这么认为。

男主一开始可能是这样的，经历了战争，再回来工作，听命于父亲执行秘密任务。

但是经过一系列事情以后，他也有了自己摸索的方向和前进的使命，那就是作为一名警察的恪尽职守。

不然他怎么会持续追查“红色堡垒”的秘密行动，这本和他没关系啊。

最后警局委员先生认为胳膊拧不过大腿，向政府低头，“他们输了”。

但是男主坚持到了最后，自己拉着女主单独行动，这就根本不是懦弱、没有立场的表现，甚至要给他一个大赞。

不过，他在战胜自己这方面，做的还没有女主好。

在处理个人事务方面，他存在好多彷徨、内疚、犹豫的情绪，优柔寡断。

相比之下，女主比她利落多了，尽管做应召女，令她背负家人的鄙视，但是也感觉她活的潇洒、理直气壮。

这部戏里的角色大多都有自己的优缺点，亦正亦邪，所以很立体，没有绝对的坏人好人，更不可能以道德制高点去评判他们。

比如胖警官Bruno，其实我很喜欢他，对人仗义，又有自己行走江湖多年的经验和城府。

对妻子和家庭是照顾的，但是在外面执法时拿钱、嫖娼也是闭着眼直接来的。

比如Greta，豆瓣上好多人都喷她啊，但是生活中就是有很多这样没头脑的女生啊，本质不坏，对爱情有渴求，容易被人利用。

不然她怎么会稀里糊涂生了孩子，不像女主一般小心？

生娃还扔了，所以她和女主是一对反差。

总之，第一季因为要交代各种人物背景和线索，又交织着时代背景，有些错综复杂。

第二季明显紧凑很多，让人停不下来，后半段更是让人手心出汗，值得二刷的片子。

精彩！

为什么我说这部剧是盖世太保养成记呢？

诸如魏玛共和国的世态万象不是更好麽？

贴合片名《babylon berlin》，那就先说片名好了，这个高明的片名，直接奠定了整部剧的优秀，berlin前面加个babylon，让人好费解。

孤陋寡闻如我，百度了babylon，得到的解释是：巴比伦，奢华淫靡的城市，任何大的富庶的或罪恶的城市。

一个简单的片名，暴露了编剧的文学素养，妈也，太高超了，不就是要讲当时柏林这座城市的奢华淫靡嘛，比喻象征全用上了，babylon/berlin两个单词首尾字母还一样，顺便又给优秀的导演一次设计精巧片头的机会。

那么就继续讲讲这个让我“爱不释眼”的片头好了，因为嘛，babylon/berlin两个单词首尾字母一样，正好可以组成一个圆形，这个组合的圆形被设计为万花筒，片头的每一帧影像都以万花筒呈现，一则代表柏林这座城市中的万种世相，二则表示当时身处柏林这座城市中的人们的分裂、癫狂和迷乱。

所以呢，片名和片头点题点得精准又不失巧妙，可这仅仅只是导演和编剧十分之一的优秀哟。

令我着迷的本剧的剧本，有着万花筒般令人眩晕迷乱的错综情节和宏大背景，题材的多样使之更加复杂。

简单地说，这是一个放在一战后希特勒上台前的德国有着多种政治背景下的犯罪刑侦剧，可以说综合了历史题材、政治题材、刑侦题材以及悬疑。

整个故事情节由案件推动，同时支线情节交错进行。

第一季的主线案件是捣毁黄色录像带任务（属于政治任务），支线情节主要是一班夹带私货的火车，由此引出当时存在于德国国内的多个政治派别，其中有托洛斯基派、德国共产党（红色堡垒）、亚梅利亚人（黑社会）、执政的社会民主党等等。

政治背景的交代在第一季中还是较为模糊的，一些主要人物的动机也不明确，所以第一季的故事主体是当时魏玛共和国的首都柏林万象的展现，作为第二季的序幕，它展现的不仅是那些政治派别或组织，还有当时柏林从底层到上层的各个阶层的代表人物，浮华之下的乱象，盛景背后的荒唐，拉开了这座巴比伦之城的帷幕。

而从第二季开始故事的主线则转向那班夹带私货的火车，支线主要是越来越明晰的政治斗争，政治派别从极左到极右一一浮现，除了第一季已出现的托洛斯基派、德国共产党、亚梅利亚人之外，剧中几个主要人物的保皇派或民族主义者的身份也渐次显露，最后政治身份不一的各个团伙全部聚焦在火车事件中。

所以呢，虽然这个剧本背景繁复，却作了戏剧化的巧合处理，在繁复的政治背景下讲了一个侦探故事，再从侦查过程中牵扯出政治斗争，而这一切由火车引起至火车结束，画了一个可以自圆其说的圆，完美。

这样复杂的剧本着实考验导演的调度功力，在我看来，作为铺垫的第一季更加优秀，这一季通过剧情的铺开展示了柏林这座巴比伦之城的众生世相，这是魏玛共和国腐化和衰败的开端，同时也是盖世太保养成的客观环境，这会不会使你想到究竟是法西斯选择了希特勒还是希特勒选择了法西斯？

反正我是想了，其实浅薄如我连纳粹是什么都不知道，看懂这部电视剧对我来说何其困难。

不过一部电视剧可以激起厌恶政治的我对魏玛共和国历史的兴趣，足以说明导演和编剧的能耐。

还是回到导演的镜头语言，由他的镜头语言我看到了一朵恶之花带着死亡气息的美，所谓美则美矣，然绝望也。

比如第一季的某一集开篇，伴随着一首优美的莱茵小调，镜头划过清晨薄雾中柏林护城河的河面，色调浓郁而冷峻，之后镜头下沉至河水中，是一具惨白的尸体，这便是本剧的基调，BGM很美，色调很美，展示的却是混乱不安和死亡。

而导演尤为擅长且运用最为圆熟的则是剪辑和蒙太奇，配合主线和各个支线情节的相互交错展开的，往往是一首歌曲和一段快速的蒙太奇，杀戮和狂欢同时进行，轻而易举将故事推向高潮。

最后回到人物，也是我的主题，盖世太保，这是在拉开帷幕的第一季后，第二季逐渐展露出的主题，聚集在了人物身上。

剧中的两个警察，Gereon和Bruno，是刻画最饱满、多面、真实的人物，他们都有善良、正义感的一面，作为警察，业务能力也都不差，同时他们也都参加过一战，Gereon是带着父母的嫌弃和心爱的女人成了嫂子的苦痛参加了一战，却带着战争心理创伤和没有救哥哥的自责回来；而Bruno呢，虽然没有交代，我猜想是带着德皇的使命而去却失败而归，一心想着重振军国主义的雄风。

于是他们的区别也是显而易见的，Bruno是政治信仰坚定的保皇派，联合黑色国防军企图发动政变复辟帝制，复辟帝制的目的在于继续走军国主义的老路。

Gereon只是一名执行者，他没有政治理想，刚开始来柏林是执行父亲交代的任务，如果说他有什么想法或观念，就是Bruno在最后一集跟他说的“你只会照章办事”，Gereon这样的人，在社会民主党议员本达的手下，他可以成功阻止了一场政变，而在未来的法西斯分子手下呢，他就是传说中的盖世太保，事实也说明了他也确实成为了希特勒上台前秘密警察组织的头目。

于是babylon berlin这部原本看起来是揭示柏林社会万象的电视剧，在男主角的身上我们却看出了一个盖世太保养成记的故事。

而这个盖世太保的前身Gereon怎么看也不像会让人咬牙切齿恨之入骨的人物，在第一季的最后一集他和Bruno义无反顾地烧掉可以作为保命符的几卷高级官员的黄色录像带的时候，一起仰天长啸，Gereon看到了自己的父亲也出现在黄色录像带中，失望地再也不回科隆而留在了柏林，虽然这一对乱世双雄无法改变魏玛共和国的乱象，但我也希望停留在那一刻，他们还保有警察的自豪和尊严，而不用为了各自所代表的政治集团倒戈相向。
