Connection
Brigitte Mira is a Actor Allemande born on 20 april 1910 at Hamburg (German)
Brigitte Mira née le 20 avril 1910 à Hambourg, Allemagne, et morte le 8 mars 2005 à Berlin, est une actrice allemande.
Brigitte Mira est née de mère allemande et de père juif d'origine russe. Durant la dictature nazie, Mira prit part à la série de propagande Liese und Miese. Elle y incarnait Miese (en allemand la mauvaise) — le « mauvais rôle » selon l'idéologie nazie, donné à ceux qui écoutaient les stations radios ennemies ou bien encore qui stockaient des rations de nourriture. Son talent d'actrice va toutefois rendre le « mauvais » personnage positif. La série sera rapidement annulée car jugée « contre-productive ». Les responsables de la propagande ne savaient pas que Mira était à demi-juive. Même si, a posteriori, elle insista beaucoup sur la naïveté inhérente à sa jeunesse, et sur le fait qu'elle se devait de cacher son identité, elle fut l'objet d'un certain nombre de critiques quant à sa participation à ce projet.
Mira, née à Hamburg, partit très tôt pour Berlin, au point d'être totalement habitée du sens de l'humour berlinois.
Au titre de ses performances les plus notables, on compte le rôle d'Emmi Kurowski dans Tous les autres s'appellent Ali (1974), rôle pour lequel elle fut récompensée par un Prix du film allemand. Dans les années 1980, Mira obtint une nouvelle fois la reconnaissance du public avec la série télé Drei Damen vom Grill.

L'Allemagne dans un futur proche. Le pays est riche, tous les problèmes semblent résolus, il n'y a pas de pollution ni de chômage. L'alcool mais aussi les légumes cultivés dans son propre potager sont interdits, on ne parle plus de suicide mais de décès inopiné, la télévision veille à la tranquillité par ses émissions comme le concours annuel de l'humour (placé dans une série mettant en scène Einstein et Napoléon) et des bulletins météorologiques toujours positifs. La police (dont le symbole est un poing au pouce levé) fait régner l'ordre grâce à ses actions contre les "Prokos". Tous les médias sont entre les mains d'un groupe dont la direction appartient à la même famille. La seule parole critique se trouve dans la série de bande dessinée La Panthère bleue qui fait une caricature de patrons autocrates et réunit leurs adversaires, les "Krysmopompes".

Ali (Salem), is a Moroccan Gastarbeiter (guest worker) in his late thirties, and Emmi (Mira), is a 60-year-old widowed cleaning woman. They meet when Emmi ducks inside a bar, driven by the rain and drawn by the exotic Arabic music (Al Asfouryeh by Sabah) she says she has heard so often on her walk home from work. A woman in the bar (Katharina Herberg) who is part of Ali's Arabic-speaking cohort tauntingly suggests Ali ask Emmi ("the old woman") to dance, and Emmi accepts. A strange and unlikely friendship develops, then a romance and soon they are living together in Emmi's flat. Out of a professed sense of responsibility but also hopefulness, Emmi first confides in her newfound love when she goes to visit her daughter Krista (Irm Hermann) and her tyrannical son-in-law Eugen (Fassbinder himself) and announces that she is in love with Ali; Eugen thinks she is screwy and Krista as well can only think that her mother - who has been a widow for years - is fantasizing.
