Coming Out (1989 film)

Coming Out is a 1989 East German romantic drama film directed by Heiner Carow and written by Wolfram Witt. Starring Matthias Freihof, Dagmar Manzel, and Dirk Kummer, the film deals with the process of the protagonist's "coming out" and admitting to himself and others that he is a gay man. The film was shot entirely on location in East Berlin and includes scenes shot with amateurs in some of the city's gay bars and clubs.

Premiering at the Kino International in Berlin on the very night that the Berlin Wall collapsed, 9 November 1989, Coming Out was the first and last East German feature film that dealt centrally with the lives of gay men. Coming Out won two awards, including the "Silver Bear", at the Berlinale in 1990 for its frank treatment of the issue of homosexuality .

Plot

The story revolves around a young high-school teacher, Philipp Klahrmann, who during his first day at work collides with a fellow teacher, Tanja, in one of the school's corridors. As Phillip insists on making sure the Tanja is okay, there is an obvious connection between the two that is much more than a simple friendly co-worker relationship. As a result of the brief accident in the hallway, Philipp ensures Tanja is okay and later on takes Tanja out for a drink. A romance quickly develops between the two. That same night, back at Tanja's apartment, the two engage in a frank discussion. Tanja reveals that they attended the same university and that she had a crush, as did most of her female classmates, on Philipp who was at that time "going steady" with another classmate. Eventually, the two partake in their first physical display of affection, and after sleeping together Philipp bluntly asks if Tanja would want him as her husband.

Coming Out

by: Smut Peddlers

Ignorant people and the L.A. Times endorse racial quotas and affirmative action
If you don't they depict you as a criminal mind
from a radical right wing extremist faction
You missed the Holocaust and you never owned a slave
and you live on the street, not a cotton plantation
But they'll tax you to death, 'til you go to the grave
because an Escalade driver wants reparations
That's the state of the state, it's all fucked up
Every panhandling bum on the street has athletic shoes and a fucking sag
The man on T.V and the people you meet say
you're homophobic if you're not a fag
Illegal aliens living high on the hog
in the latest styles with a new cell phone
You paid for his car yet you live like a dog,
working your fingers right down to the bone
All these other place like Oregon, Arizona and Colorado have good bowls in their parks
We could too if all of our money wasn't spent to bankroll narcs
How can you blame the kids for wanting to get high
When you look at the crap they've got to skate it just makes you want to die
The money we spend on the lottery was supposed to fix our inferior schools
Since that hasn't happened the least they could do
is build us some empty swimming pools
Convicts in prison just sit on their asses
yet still they get three hots and a cot
You're working your ass off and always taking classes
but an empty wallet is all you've got
Since you learned to crawl you have looked for a wife
and clung to a dream of owning a home
But you can't provide even yourself a good life
so you are rejected and left all alone
