The mass circulation Bild regularly runs flattering photographs of Katie Holmes, Cruise's wife, and their little girl, Suri, strolling around in Berlin's zoo and visiting Berlin's celebrity polar bear cub, Knut, or strolling in the park. After visiting the set, Frank Schirrmacher, culture editor and co-publisher of the conservative Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, argued that the movie "will change Germany more than any other movie of recent decades."
