Watch: Absolute Giganten 1999 123movies, Full Movie Online – In the port town of Hamburg, Germany, Floyd decides that he’s shipping out to South Africa and Singapore now that his two-year probation for an unspecified juvenile offense has been completed. When he shares the news with his devoted friends Chubby, a mechanic, and Ricco, a fast-food cook and would-be b-boy, they can’t comprehend their thoughtful friend’s willingness to trade camaraderie for a wider view of the world. Overcoming their anger and bewilderment, the guys decide to spend one last night with Floyd, but the problem, as always, is how to find some fun. A succession of fast-food restaurants, parking garages, and local watering holes chronicles the inherent boredom of life in the provinces. But a run-in with a convention of dragster-racing Elvis impersonators sends the boys and their friend Telsa Julia Hummer on a series of adventures that veers from the farcical to the almost-tragic..
Plot: The Hamburg friends Walter, Ricco and Floyd take each day as it comes between the estates of tower blocks and fast food restaurants. All three are in their early twenties and are dreaming of another life when Floyd suddenly takes a job on a freighter going to Singapore…

RESPEKT!
When I first saw “Absolute Giganten” it instantly became my favourite. I just love this movie. It is wonderfully sad but at the same time it seems to keep a certain happiness that just moves you and makes you feel glad to be alive. Sebastian Schipper has made a beautiful but also very real film with wonderful actors and great music by The Notwist. Directors of the world do me a favour and give me more films like this one!
How to say farewell
As Floyd’ s probation has expired he’s going to leave Hamburg the next day to see the world. So there’s only one night left for him to say farewell to his best friends Ricco and Walter. The movie depicts the funny and sad adventures of the trio during that last night involving an argument with some die-hard Elvis fans, the most nerve-racking table-football match in film history and way too much alcohol.The whole thing is so beautiful in a bittersweet way that you wish the film would go on forever. You want to see more about Ricco’s family, about the barflies at Horst’s and especially about Telsa, the girl next door (who is played incredibly cute and vulnerable by Julia Hummer in her film debut). But if a film is too short it’s always a compliment, not a fault.
Sebastian Schipper in *his* debut as a director really knew what he was doing, although (or because?) he sometimes doesn’t play by the established rules. For example he uses refreshingly little dialogue for a german film and he even lets it go on for a few more minutes after the last words have
been said, telling the end just with images. And those images are brilliant since the director of photography was Frank Griebe (“Lola rennt”). IMO the movie gets 9 out of 10.
