Nowadays many airlines use safety videos as an extension of their marketing efforts. Some airlines have new safety videos every year. Then you have airlines like Lufthansa, which have more or less used the same safety video for the past decade.

Cracking up that changed the headline. I'm guessing you received some crazy/angry "click bait!" emails.
I don’t like the dual languages in parallel thing. Every German understands both and if they watch the movie it feels very slow to get the info two times. Many airlines split the languages so you can watch the one in your language and ignore the others.
While I can make the connections between the non-airplane visual examples, I have to say that many of the other people on flights need to be shown this information in the same context as they will use it, i.e. images onboard a plane.
Agree prefer separate videos for different languages. The videos are simple but at least not distracting.
It's a safety video, not a Hollywood entertainment production. I prefer the way it brings across all relevant information. Other "fancy" safety videos rather distract than attract attention.
@neogucky: no, not all Germans understand English. That's a quite arrogant statement.
BORING! what a shame. They have such amazing crew, aircraft, destinations etc. None of which are represented. It’s slow and doesn’t evidently show the safety features of an ‘aircraft, particularly for first time/non regular fliers.
There is a simple reason why airlines prefer showing safety instructions via video rather than having the crew demonstrate them: it frees the crew to focus on other checks during taxiing. beside, I think the only way to truly grab passengers' attention with a safety video is to make it in a distinctive and engaging German style, something like Steiner's attack scene from Downfall would get everyone on their toes during the video
