EP1: Dangerous Ideas:
The story of Berlin is one of a clash of ideas that would shape the modern world.
The 18th-century king Frederick the Great was a contradictory character whose legacy would define Berlin as a place of both aggressive militarism and enlightened idealism. He would be embraced as an icon by Hitler and, later, the Communist leaders in East Berlin. But Frederick's liberalism created a city in which new theories of sex and sexuality could flourish, inspiring groundbreaking art.
During the Cold War, the street that bore the king's name, Friedrichstrasse, was also brutally divided - and irreconcilable. Only after the Berlin Wall fell in 1989 was King Frederick returned to his desired resting place. The funeral was intended as a laying-to-rest of more than just a body.
EP2: Ruined Visions
The story of Berlin and its buildings is one of visionary creation and terrible destruction, of human ambition and delusion. From the 19th-century architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel to the Bauhaus pioneers of Modernism and the rebuilding of the city after the fall of the Wall, it is a city that has always looked to the future.
Architect Albert Speer had grand plans to transform Berlin into a monumental Nazi capital for Adolf Hitler, and the buildings that remain from his scheme are still haunted by their terrible associations.
There is no other city in the world where the morality of the architecture has been so heavily scrutinized. Buildings with Imperial, Nazi and Communist pasts all inspire fierce debates about whether this city should acknowledge or deny its chequered history.
EP3:Ich bin ein Berliner
The life and character of Berliners have been defined by a struggle for freedom. In 1963, President Kennedy declared that all free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin. But centuries earlier, the rulers of the city offered freedom to the oppressed. Jews moved to the city from Vienna and eastern Europe, and were instrumental in creating the city as it now exists. During the Nazi years, however, Berlin's Jews were driven underground, many unable to leave the city they loved.
When the Russians arrived at the end of the Second World War, Berlin's women found themselves at the mercy of rapists rather than liberators. Citizens became pawns in a global game through the Berlin blockade, and when the Berlin Wall was built, both East and West held themselves up as beacons of freedom. But only when it fell did Berliners attain the freedom that their early rulers had promised them.

柏林,精神分裂。伦敦是商业城市,巴黎是政治城市,而柏林,是工业城市。所以比起伦敦和巴黎来,柏林总显得有点多血质,人们容易沦落到地狱,也很容易被冲昏头脑认为要进天堂,柏林充斥着太多的不安定感,二十世纪的悲剧,最悲剧的几篇都在柏林,这座城市不干净。

本来想给五星的,第二集的配乐和镜头简直是神剪辑,那种闪灵一样的时光交织的感觉让人觉得柏林的每一条石头缝里都嵌着历史的秘密。可是第三集意识形态的感觉就出来了,Stasi的确是Big Brother最臭名昭著的爪牙,可是谁说BRD的胜利就是自由的胜利呢?窃听门事件无疑是给BBC这样的论调扇了一巴掌。

berlin的前世今生,角度很好剪得也超好~看完愈发理解柏林气质上和其他城市的迥异~只是,主持作为一个BBC的德国人真心好喜欢美国,意识形态好重,不过Berlin就是这么一个重意识形态的地方吧
