So hard, so soft, so Craig
„Hardeners become!“ stands requesting on our cover. „What is wrong then now?“, some will ask. If the slogan is not in numerous consultation books again or furthermore: „Become softer!“? More feel, go more to himself, more yoga?
The beauty in the today's time is, that some ideological battles are hit, as well as that was sent from the 80th, as the macho against the softie in the ring. One or other, in between gabs nothing. If we demand more male hardness in our big man's psychology-Special, we do not think with it certainly that the old type Man from the box should rise. The man with little feeling, but a lot of HP, the man who steers a whole company, but not yet sometimes is able to buy to himself a tasteful suit.
The man whom we mean is that to which 40 years of emancipation have passed not without a trace: he can be an understanding father who shows emotions and, nevertheless, if it must be, says, wos langgeht. However, he shows hardness, where it is just necessary. A man who has feeling without being gefühlig. A man who knows himself. In short: I talk from Daniel Craig.
Yes, you have properly belonged:
The James the Bond actor whom we have interviewed on the occasion of his new film „Cowboys & Aliens“ is exactly this man. In the conversation a pensive star faced our author David Baum, still - we take up once more our cover line - is hard at the right places in his life. Works incessantly on himself which absolutely knows how a good body has to look, and which still has enough empathy to imagine itself in others. Without this ability he could not practice his profession at all.
And now to pattern fa:
How does one call thus a modern man like Craig? On the one hand he deplores the sexism on television and says that we lived 30 years ago in a freer society because role stereotypes were less mighty than today. This would be almost the programme which one would have ascribed earlier to a softie - today one says Frauenversteher. Nevertheless, just at the next moment Craig is somebody who defends gentleman's virtues however. And what is with the concept of the hero who uses his life for an idea? An example are for him the members of the resistance against Gaddafi. Is this then a macho's manner? The modern age has - beside others - a big advantage: We get together ourselves in positions what fits to us. We men have taken over female virtues like sympathy without losing male qualities. Softie is over. Macho is over. Are simply you yourselves. As well as Daniel Craig. One call the Beliebigkeit, I call that freedom
