Duell der Brüder - Die Geschichte von Adidas und Puma

In the 1920s the two brothers Adolf and Rudolf Dassler start manufacturing sport shoes. Adolf is a talented craftsman and his dream is that one day all the best sportsmen in the world will wear his shoes. Rudolf on the other hand is the economical brain of their business, handling sales and marketing. After World War II, they continue producing shoes but the relationship between the two brothers starts to deteriorate. Both of them claim the company to be theirs, leading to an ever growing rivalry. A rivalry still existing today, represented by two of the most popular sports brands.

Torben Liebrecht and Ken Duken in Duell der Brüder - Die Geschichte von Adidas und Puma (2016)

Not bad, looking at the production even pretty decent

Good drama, not an entrepreneurship movie

Good Movie to watch lots of moral messages

&quot;Duell der Brüder - Die Geschichte von Adidas und Puma&quot; is a German television movie that was released in spring this year (2016). It runs for 110 minutes approximately and was directed by Oliver Dommenget, a pretty experienced small screen filmmaker here in Germany. The script is by Christian Schnalke, who has also been working on German television projects for 15 years now. Their work here is about the lives of Adolf and Rudi Dassler, two brothers who redefined the German shoe market for many decades. The film starts off relatively early in the 20th century and we find out a bit about the two main characters and the people near and dear to them. We find out about their dreams, their acquaintances, but also about their conflicts. And there&#39;s lots of the latter. The result is that the more years go by, the more they get distant from one another and the eventual result is that instead of working together they both are in charge of their own companies: Adidas and Puma. I am sure you have heard of these, even if you are not from Germany. I do believe this is a subject interesting enough to be turned into a movie and I also think the actors did a decent job for the most part. I must say I have never been a big Ken Duken fan, but he is fine here, even if I probably preferred Torsten Liebrecht who plays the other brother. There are 2 or 3 more actors that German film buffs may have come across already like Nadja Becker, but it&#39;s really much more about the characters than about the actors here. Sepp Herberger and Ferenc Puskas (Soccer World CVup 1954) are referenced as well on some occasions. I was pretty critical about this project initially because films produced by and for the German television channel RTL have frequently been extremely weak and disappointing just like most of their other program. But this one here was truly a positive surprise. It shows that with the right people in charge, even RTL can come up with a convincing movie and I see no reason why, in terms of quality, this one here could not have been a big screen release. I recommend checking it out if you have a chance to. Thumbs-up and I hope RTL can reproduce this success a couple more times in the next years.

It was interesting to watch the story of the brothers who started up Adidas and Puma. The drama is well told, there are plenty of things happening as brothers, lovers, entrepreneurs and a Nazi party background. But we dont see any real detail of why they were succesful, any back story of the brands, or their talent. It would be more interesting if we could learn some facts or inspiring moments related with the early years of those giant and impactful brands. And the movie was slow at some times. But it was fun to watch. The cinamotography is good, customes are well done, and they look realistic. Acting is OK.

From cinematography to atmosphere of the 40&#39;and 50&#39;this movie is pretty outstanding! 
A hidden gem for sure!

I like this movie because the story was developed very well they look lots of fun facts about the brands Adidas and Puma like the causes and the Consequences of they rivalrization, The Meaning of The 3 stripes pattern on Adidas shoes, and the companies growth.

Excellent reconstruction of an exciting story.They survived a dark era of history

Real history , brilliant story telling and acting, there is nothing wrong with this film. very enjoyable movie without a doubt...

What a nice movie and great story. I am an Adidas lover and after watching this story made me a more supporter of the brand. Thank you Adi! It also teaches you a history lesson that otherwise I would have never known what this brand had to go with during pressing times. I will always be an Adidas lover.
