Für AMD 1, habe ich Bella Martha und No Reservations gesehen. No Reservations ist das amerikanische Remake des Films Bella Martha. I decided to watch both of them in order to determine if there were any striking cultural differences between the two. Overall the remake, No Reservations, was seemingly the same as Bella Martha as the plot and even the entrees were mostly consistent, except for a change in language. The story presented throughout the movie was one that was obviously easily relatable with both cultures since there was no change to it. I like how that shows how little or insignificant the differences between Germany and America are since their impact isn't as influential enough to effect the small things like movies or music. Small differences however did still persist between the movies. The most noticeable difference that I discovered was how much more the grieving was palpable in Bella Martha than No Reservations. This also lead to serious search for the girl's father which was completely forgotten in the American remake. It was obvious that the American version was more concerned about the romantic aspect of the movie which I believe has to do with the fact that American audiences prefer the happy endings, with cute moments and romantic gestures along the way. It just seemed to me that Bella Martha had a more realistic view on a person would have responded to that situation instead of presenting the Hollywood version. I think for that I would recommend Bella Martha over No Reservations even though the slight cultural change does take getting used to. Bella Martha und No Reservations waren sehr gut.
