A 5 page essay/reaction paper to the final episodes of Edgar Reitz’s epic 1984 fifteen-hour, TV series, Heimat: Eine Deutsche Chronik (Homeland: A Chronicle of Germany) which carry the narrative into the post-World War II era, concluding in the early 1980s. In these final episodes, Reitz underscores themes, often mirroring earlier action, and establishing a cyclical feel to the life of the village. However, while the action shows how each successive generation tends to mirror its predecessors, Reitz also makes the point that modernity imposes a form of alienation in which the ideal of “heimat” seems not so much lost forever, as misplaced by the generation coming after Maria, Eduard and the family patriarchs, Katharina and Mathias Simon. The earlier episodes of this series are discussed in khheimat.rtf and khheima2.rtf. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
