NP - German Movies

[Prashant Kumar]

Danke! I suppose what I mean is that in most german movies I've seen, the
conceit is usually tragic - someone falls into a coma, or is diagnosed with
a terminal disease etc. - and a fair amount of the movie is not explicitly
comedic. Ich mag es.

I'm not too worried about speaking "correct" german, so much as being able
to communicate when I get there. I'm looking at german universities for
grad school, which run in english (apparently).
