How old are the Sisters Grimme?<\/h1>\n

Today text it\u2019s about analysing the tv movies that were nominated for the Grimme Preis 2013 (Grimme Award). How many actresses and actors were in the main cast and what age groups do they belong to.<\/span><\/p>\n

The website of the Grimme-Preis (LINK<\/em><\/a>) lists the 17 nominations in the \u201ecompetition fiction\u201c as well as some information on crew and cast. Alphabetically, these are the films (the winners in bold letters):<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Blaubeerblau<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Das Ende einer Nacht<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Das Meer am Morgen \/ La Mer \u00e0 l\u2019aube<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Das unsichtbare M\u00e4dchen<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Das Wunder von K\u00e4rnten<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Der Fall Jakob von Metzler<\/span>
    \n<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
  7. Der letzte sch\u00f6ne Tag<\/strong>
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. L\u00f6segeld<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. Mutter muss weg<\/span><\/li>\n
  10. Polizeiruf 110 – Schuld<\/span><\/li>\n
  11. Riskante Patienten<\/span><\/li>\n
  12. Sechzehneichen<\/span><\/li>\n
  13. Spuren des B\u00f6sen<\/span><\/li>\n
  14. Tatort – Der tiefe Schlaf<\/span><\/li>\n
  15. Tatort – Die Ballade von Cenk und Valerie<\/span><\/li>\n
  16. \u00dcber uns das All<\/span><\/li>\n
  17. Zappelphilipp<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n


    \nIt\u2019s always a bit difficult with casting lists. Let\u2019s take the first film BLAUBEERBLAU<\/strong> (Blueberryblue) as an example. On the site of the Grimme-Preis 2 actresses and 2 actors are listed, on the site of the TV corporation BR (    LINK<\/i><\/a>) it\u2019s a total of 6, at CREW UNITED<\/em><\/a> it\u2019s 23 (including 4 leading parts), in the IMDB<\/em><\/a> it\u2019s 15 (2 leadingparts ) und on German Wikipedia 19. As I did with the Tatort TV crime series evaluation (LINK<\/a><\/em>) I again wanted to use one source for all films, so this will be the information from the Grimme-Preise site, even though the standard used is not quite clear. For each film anything between 4 and 14 acting people are named, so obviously these cannot always be the leading casts.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The following chart shows the distribution for the 17 films:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"Grimme_Cast\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    Again consistent with the Tatorte findings there is a minority of female parts \u2013 52<\/span> <\/strong>opposed to 84<\/span> \u2013 but the ratio is \u201eonly\u201c 1<\/span><\/strong>:1,6<\/span>. The films with more than twice as many actors as actresses named are coloured in the list. We don\u2019t find the opposite situation, i.e. a twofold number of actresses.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Of course I don\u2019t want to criticize men-centered plots in general.\u00a0 DAS MEER AM MORGEN\u00a0<\/strong> (a film about Guy M\u00f4quet<\/span>, a young French communist militant who was executed by Germans in 1941 as a 17-year-old) and DER FALL JAKOB VON METZLER<\/strong> (a film about the kidnapping and murder of Jakob Metzler, 11-year-old son of a German banker and his wife, in 2002) are based on actual events and in both more men than women were involved, as victims, as murderers, as chronicler, as police officers, – so the casting lists are set up accordingly. But it is evident that no comparable women-centered stories were being told.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The next chart shows the age distribution of the characters<\/strong> in 10-year-groups, or rather the age distribution of the named actresses and actors, because I don\u2019t have access to the original demands*<\/strong> on the parts.<\/span><\/p>\n

    *<\/strong>Sometimes the age of a character is changed in the course of casting it. For this here\u2019s an international example: in the film THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY <\/strong>the film\u2019s director Clint Eastwood<\/span> (then 65) played the mal lead, and Meryl Streep<\/strong> <\/span>(then 46) the female lead. In the original novel by Robert James Waller<\/span> the main male character was much younger.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

    \"Grimme_Alter\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    (The ages are derived from the databases of Filmmakers, ZAV, IMDB, websites of agencies and Wikipedia)<\/span><\/p>\n

    The main age group for actresses are the 31 to 40-year-olds<\/span><\/strong>, and that for the actors is the 41 to 50s<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Only 7 <\/strong><\/span>actresses and 23<\/span> actors were older than 50, that\u2019s more than three times more men than women.<\/span><\/p>\n

    On the other end there were only 10 actresses and 10 actors below 30. If we substract the children and youths there\u2019s only 4<\/span><\/strong> (leading) parts for women left in these 17 films. Incidentally, this age group (the 21- to 30-year-olds) is the largest among professional actresses in Germany (as the chart of an older blog entry shows: LINK<\/i><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

    The main adavantage the actresses below 30 have over the 40+ actresses is that the role peak (age 31-40) still lies ahead for them.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Of course it would be interesting to evaluate the complete casts for the films regarding sex and age, but that is not for today.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
