Secondary Characters
Hi, I found 'Knallhart' accidentally but I enjoyed it a lot as a fan of German film. Thank you, you guys did a great job... I'm from the US so it was interesting for me to see a relatively realistic portrayal of urban life in Germany/Berlin.
I just have a question about the secondary characters in the film: namely the Mother, the young Turkish girl/love interest, and the Best Friend.
Did the mother almost accept work as a call-girl/prostitute, out of desperation? And did the police officer ultimately "rescue" her and her son by hooking her up with the new landlord (My other guess is that the two started dating, is that correct?)? How did the relationship between the main character and his love interest (the young beautiful Turkish girl) develop, if at all? Their time together on-screen seemed all too short. And what happened to the Best Friend and his little brother?
Maybe it's because I was forced to watch the subtitles, I wasn't clear on how their characters developed as the film progressed and came to a close.
Thanks in advance, I enjoyed your movie immensely. Cheers!
