Quote:Inception. No comment needed, I think: it is fascinating.
What made it extra nice, however, was the cinema where I watched it: at the Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, one of the most spectacular places I know. I was there for the first time in January 1988, when the site place looked as it is depicted in the Wim Wenders movie Der Himmel uber Berlin / Wings of Desire. What a change!
I have the Roger Waters performance of 'The Wall' on DVD which was filmed at this location in 1990, very cool! I listened to the live broadcast at the time and there were a couple of gliches in the special effects during the performance, which fortunately have been edited from the DVD version.
