Das Leuchten der Stille

On its opening weekend in the United States, it went to number one, becoming the film to finally end the reign of James Cameron's Avatar - Aufbruch nach Pandora (2009), which had sat at the top of the box office for seven consecutive weeks.

When John is in Hungary when he hears about 09/11 (as indicated by the signs on/near the coffee shop: Tigris Kavehaz, Muvesz...), and the TV news are in Serbian (even using Cyrillic - not Latin - script). This scene is not necessarily a mistake. Although not well explained in the movie, in the book John was stationed in Kosovo. He could simply have been standing outside a Hungarian-style coffee shop there, which explains the Hungarian language on the store front. Serbian is recognized as an official language of Kosovo, which explains the TV news being in Serbian.
