Cat And Mouse (1967 Film)
''Cat and Mouse'' () is a 1967 West German drama film directed by Hansjürgen Pohland, based on the novel of the same name by Günter Grass, the second book in the Danzig Trilogy. It is about Mahlke, an alienated child in Danzig during World War II. Pohland was initially only the producer of the film, but took over as director when the intended director died unexpectedly. The film was released in West German cinemas on 7 February 1967. The film was part of the New German Cinema and became highly controversial in Germany upon its release, largely due to the inclusion of a masturbation scene and the casting of the Social Democratic leader Willy Brandt's sons in the roles of Mahlke at different ages. The film has received little attention after the initial release and has been described as a failure.

Adaptations Of Works By Günter Grass
In biology, adaptation has three related meanings. Firstly, it is the dynamic evolutionary process of natural selection that fits organisms to their environment, enhancing their evolutionary fitness. Secondly, it is a state reached by the population during that process. Thirdly, it is a phenotypic trait or adaptive trait, with a functional role in each individual organism, that is maintained and has evolved through natural selection. Historically, adaptation has been described from the time of the ancient Greek philosophers such as Empedocles and Aristotle. In 18th and 19th-century natural theology, adaptation was taken as evidence for the existence of a deity. Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace proposed instead that it was explained by natural selection. Adaptation is related to biological fitness, which governs the rate of evolution as measured by changes in allele frequencies. Often, two or more species co-adapt and co-evolve as they develop adaptations that inter ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
