According to reports, Silent cinema made waves in Germany in the Weimar years and Berlin was immortalized in two specific brilliant impressionist tributes: ‘Walter Ruttmann’s Berlin: Symphony of a Great City, and People on Sunday’, which focused on creating a ‘patchwork’ of the lives of ordinary Berliners.

Hollywood was brought into to Berlin in a huge way following the sequel to ‘The Bourne Identity’ directed by Paul Greengrass, who was certainly paying homage to Berlin’s cold war past.

The plot of the movie involved Bourne acted by Matt Damo turning up in Berlin to trace and connect the missing links of his past.

The best film about the divided city, disputably, was done by Wim Wenders in 1987 which was a ‘fable about angels floating over a traumatized Berlin listening to its inhabitants’ thoughts and attempting in different ways to heal their pain.

However, for the record of the ‘rubble-strewn’ state of the city, immediately after the Second World War, Roberto Rossellini’s film is said to be hard to challenge and he had made his name as a ‘neo-realist ‘in Rome as filmed while the Germans were backing out.

Moreover, Billy Wilder’s ‘scabrous’ political satire which involved the clash of ideologies that the city represented. He is said to have left Germany in 1934 after the Nazis took control. The movie was released when Berlin wall was built.
