 This war story's all double-dutch - Film - www.theage.com.au
Dutch actress Thekla Reuten almost played both leads in Twin Sisters, but she's glad she didn't.
When Dutch actress Thekla Reuten was approached by director Ben Sombogaart for a lead role in Twin Sisters, his adaptation of Tessa de Loo's bestselling novel The Twins, the initial plan was for Reuten to play both Lotte and Anna, twin sisters separated at childhood who grow up on different sides of World War II.
But while having one performer play twins could help the audience believe the two characters were so closely related, both Reuten and Sombogaart came to realise that the dual role might also inspire viewers to focus on the ways Reuten differentiated Lotte and Anna and keep them from becoming engrossed in the story.

ON JULY 1, 1999, THE DUTCH PARLIAMENT passed a Motion, 76 to 70, urging the government to ban fur farming.
Prior to the vote, the new Minister of Agriculture, Nature Management and Fisheries, L.J. Brinkhorst, stated to the Agricultural Committee that he is opposed to mink farming on ethical grounds but, as a government minister, he is obliged to continue the policy set out by his predecessor, a policy which allows for fur farming.
Commenting on the "[i]rreconcilable differences between the viewpoints held by those in favour of and those opposed to fur farming," Van Noord noted that the fur producers were prepared for a legal battle to defend their rights, and would be backed by LTO-Nederland.

 Double Dutch and how to speak it - part 1
Next, the Dutch were occupied by the French as well (from 1795 to 1813) and during this period French became the official language, but apart from the fact that a lot of French words were 'imported' in Dutch language, nothing dramatic happened to the language itself.
Both Dutch and English have over the centuries got rid of the most of their grammatical complexities, but English takes the cake: it is by far the simplest European language.
On top of that, the inability of the average Dutch speaker to adapt to the general British custom of raising the voice a pitch at the end of a sentence will only add to the impression that the Dutch are rude.
