Talk:Berlin: Symphony of a Metropolis

English Translation of the Title
Although the English language version is titled Berlin: Symphony of a Great City, the translation is misleading. While gross can be translated as "great," the term Grosstadt in the German does not imply a "great" city. It merely denotes a large city. While I think it would be confusing to use a different title from the English language version for the title of the page, I think that it should be addressed within the article. Anyone agree?

 * I think this is an essential point. Alternate titles are very frequently given bold treatment, and this seems like an obvious candidate. JamesLucas (talk) 23:10, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree that the English title of this movie is essentially incorrect. It's not "Sinfonie einer grossen Stadt" (a great city).  It's "Sinfonie einer Grossstadt" (a metropolis).  I will make a note in the article. Poldy Bloom (talk) 09:50, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Anhalter Bahnhof and Hotel Excelsior
I removed "by Allied bombing" from the statement that over 30% of central Berlin was destroyed in World War II. See Battle of Berlin -- the damage was done by Red Army artillery as well as by US and RAF bombers, but this article is not the place to discuss who caused more damage.

I added a bit about the Anhalter Bahnhof and the adjacent Hotel Excelsior. Several train destination placards are seen that state "Berlin Anh." or similar. The exterior of the Hotel Excelsior is clearly seen and staff with Excelsior uniforms can be seen as well. I don't think this is original research since it is taken directly from reading text in the film. There is also a scene on a train platform which is not at the Anhalter Bahnhof, which had a rounded arch roof. It's actually Friedrichstrasse station, but I didn't add that to the article because it's based on matching the roof types, which I think would be original research.
