Who's the long-haired blond guy with the cigarette and shotgun at 4:23 supposed to be?
10/10 video
Germania personified by the black woman is Germany's wild/tribal heritage and the severed roman head she keeps carrying around througout the video is Germany's roman heritage, it's culture/technology/intellect. Together they formed many Germanys throughout history, beginning with the Holy roman empire of german nations.
When the two met for the first time the journey (the red line) and "Germnay" comes into existence.
It seems that again and again through history the roman head impregnates Germania (metaphorically speaking) but often they gave birth to dogs of war.
People are focusing too much on Germania because of her skin colour and forget that actually two bodies form/ed Germany, Germania AND the roman head, only together they're true Germany.
The ending is a bit unclear but my interpretation is that people decided to get rid of the roman head and put Germania into a hibernation state floating in a cascet in outer space and probably waiting for the next "head" to wake her up and finally impregnate someone to give her raw and wild nature a direction again.
Sorry but what was the song being played on the piano during the credits I recognise it but can’t think of the name
What is the terrorist band where Till is cross dressed named?
aaahaAAAaahahaaahahaaahh Thunder.
So I've been obsessing over this video for some 12 hours now and rewatched it many many times. I'm a foreigner pretty advanced in German language and history (studied German philology at university) and I think I've delved pretty deep into the nuances and have cracked the mysteries.... except for one. what is up with the dogs being given born to in space at the end? they're c-sectioned so I guess the Kaiser has something to do with it, also Germania wears Weimar colors in that scene, there's also hard-to-miss religious imagery, and I also suspect we see those puppies grown up in the RAF scene. so... what's up with them? what are they supposed to symbolize, and if the scene is supposed to take place at the metaphorical Kaiserschnitt, i. e. founding of Weimar, why in space???? please help me
Sorry to write such a long text. But the video touched me as a German very much. As always, Rammstein created great puns and incredible pictures.
The fact that a black (German) plays Germania is another clever move. For me she should also play the German colors, black, red, gold, and on the other hand no association to an "Aryan" Germania can be made. Rammstein thus clearly places Germania outside the National Socialist thinking of white, blond and blue-eyed woman.
In addition, they sing "Deutschland Deutschland über allen" and not "über alles (German former anthem)" or "über allem (over everything else)". And this difference is Rammsteins way of telling stories. Thus they do not refer to pride in the country and Deutschland over all other countries. The Nazi "Deutschland Deutschland über alles" stands like a dark cloud "über allen (above all)". "The Third Reich and the murder of millions of fellow citizens (Jews, communists, gays and other minorities or Nazi opponents) and foreigners (the same) and a war of aggression, which partially completely destroyed Germany and the neighbouring states, stand above all what one feels positive for Germany. Rammstein is tired of the "supermen" (Übermenschen überdrüssig).
This is what the song is about. It is not about a new Germany with immigrants taking over Germany (then the black Germania would not float in space).
It is about a wild Germania (16 AD), which accompanies us through the Middle Ages until today. She can be seen in the Weimar Republic as a Party Girl (the fight) and as a representative of the old imperials supporters (White uniform as Kaiser) in prison. After the war she reappears as a modern Quadriga with the Sheppard dogs as horses (statue on the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin) and is taken hostage by the RAF.
In the concentration camp she is rather disgusted and cold, blind in her right eyes. She wears a ruff as if she cannot turn her head away and is forced to watch.
I also do not find the scenes disparaging in relation to the prisoners killed. For me, Rammstein shows clear solidarity with the prisoners and clearly shows the repulsiveness of the Nazis. They want to be seen as prisoners. Even in the credits, the prisoners are shown with their heads held high and long. Not the SS soldiers.
Rammstein shows us what it is all about today. Do we (Germans) want to disappoint Germania again and give room to the right again, as is unfortunately the case in many other countries?
"Germany" is a song in German, about Germany for Germans. Thank you Rammstein for the song and video.
Mann gegen Mann was supposed to be a controversy, it was about gays wanting to have equal treatment and at the same time had a video designed to be disgusting.
The lyrics, mixed with the video were designed to fuck with everyone.
The nationalistic belief is probably looking to target those who love Germany borderline wehraboos, and to piss off the piss for brains everyone is a nazi crowd.
Meanwhile the choice to cast a black woman is to piss off the people concerned with white genocide. The lyrics talk about shame in germany as well as love and gives both the wehraboos and the piss for brains something to take a dump on in order to score another controversial album/single.
Honestly, if this were to be Rammstein’s last album that’s a hell of a way to go out. I’ll always be a fan of theirs
So much to take in this video, so much symbolism.
Seems like going through German history, and the Black woman in traditional German archetypes (German warrior, German Knight, German Nazi) seems to embody the future of Germany as African/foreign but still German in culture.
