July 4th 1776 the Declaration of Independence (die Unabhängigkeitserklärung) from the Kingdom of Great Britain was adopted.
Words of the day:
to BBQ – Grillen – ich grille, du grillst, er/sie grillt, wir grillen, ihr grillt, sie grillen
fireworks – das Feuerwerk
flag – die Flagge
And at the movies, nothing showed independence day so entertainingly as Will Smith under Roland Emmerich’s German direction with Volker Engel’s genius Academy Award premiered Special Effects.
And another quintessential American Hero, Bruce Willis, was born as Walter Bruce Willis in Idar-Obserstein, Germany.
Armageddon and the Die Hard Series encompass what Europe thinks when they think of America.
And last but not least let us think about the US Troops in Germany’s Rammstein and anywhere else on the globe. A movie we would suggest to revisit is Tom Cruise in “4th of July”
