han weingartner third movie be a harsh but highly legitimate comment on today television program . unlike in die fetten jahre sind vorbei you could find many thing to criticize here while the comparison to that last movie can hardly be avoid . much of free rainer have obviously be inspire by the same concept and which could make you question how much inspiration there be behind this movie at all . you will find many point that leave a rather ambivalent impression concern realism the end have to be call fantasy like . at few point do the movie really convince with it optimistic idea of how the character and the whole scenario develop . so what make free rainer worth watch . simple a often represent it the message behind all of this which can only be understand a a comment on today world of television . and a for this comment represent there have since long not be say anything more important in a movie . weingartner portrait of a sick and sicken life standard drawn by the tv world be very close to reality . the rather negative way in which the tv executive appear might even be call too optimistic while in the movie they seem just to be immoral and very well know what they do and reality might look somewhat bad represent most of the people in charge be probably act in accordance to their very own moral principle . one critic write weingartner movie be a crude comment on an even crude television . very right .
