WTF The Matrix feels like a ripoff now. Also, how did the director

World on a Wire was very different from regular Fassbinder stuff.

He just went back to his bread and butter after World on a Wire.

World on a Wire was a blip on his otherwise prolific career of making psychodramas about gays, traps and white women engaging in interracial romances.

It's like 4 hours long, that's a small size.

No gays or traps or interracial sex in Veronika Voss.

Irm Hermann idolized him, but Fassbinder tormented and tortured her for over a decade.[78] This included domestic violence: "He couldn't conceive of my refusing him, and he tried everything. He almost beat me to death on the streets of Bochum ..."[79] In 1977, Hermann became romantically involved with another man and became pregnant by him. Fassbinder proposed to her and offered to adopt the child; she turned him down.

So he got cucked and started making cucked films.

Also,
>even being in Bochum
The place is a bona fide shithole.

Doctor trafficking morphine and intentionally getting patients hooked so that they'd become dependent and eventually owe so much money in morphine payment, they'd make the doctor the sole beneficiary in the will, and then the doctor releases them from their living hell by locking them up in a room while going through hellish opiates withdrawal with only lethal doses of sleeping pills conveniently placed on the dresser is pretty degenerate.

In 1969, while portraying the lead role in the T.V film Baal under the direction of Volker Schlöndorff, Fassbinder met Günther Kaufmann, a black Bavarian actor who had a minor role in the film. Despite the fact that Kaufmann was married and had two children, Fassbinder fell madly in love with him. The two began a turbulent affair which ultimately affected the production of Baal. Fassbinder tried to buy Kaufmann's love by casting him in major roles in his films and buying him expensive gifts.[81]

He was German growing up during the Nazi era and hated them, so he made lots of movies to piss off the Nazis as much as possible.

Post-WW2 Germans have been really psychologically raped.

I refuse to consider Fassbinder a victim. That drug addled faggot was most definitely a perpetrator of cultural crimes and not a victim.

You should read this book.

It's so fucking insane what Fassbinder's life was like.

As a teen, he dressed up as a girl and hooked up with foreign laborers because he thought being wanted sexually would help with his self-esteem.
