Film Perfection
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
View MoreOne of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
View MoreMasucci bears only a passing resemblance to Hitler, but his presence, timing, and delivery were spot on and it was easy to believe this was the Fuhrer himself - and I don't even speak or understand German.Besides being quite funny - throwing Hitler into the present day in the typical fish out of water scenario - the film has a serious undertone. I think if Hitler were to return in this form (mistaken for an actor) he probably would be able to change the thinking of the German people. Fortunately it appears that time travel is well nigh impossible, so we can enjoy the film for the fantasy it is.10 out of 10 for the acting, cinematography, dialogue, and storyline. I especially liked the candid interviews with the public and the range of reactions they provoked.
View MoreAncient Chinese said:[非我族類,其心必異!] People who are not our kind, must think differently(Or must be monsters). It points out one true. Forget about political correct, people would be afraid of those they don't know or those none of their kind naturally.To overcome this kind of fear is progress of civilization.When the time is bad and makes people feel hopeless, unfortunately, cunning and provocative man would lead people step on the opposite way. The way to the destruction. Directly or gradually.This movie show us the possibility of "How people may repeat terrible history again" by a very clear way. Funny, bright, and reversed at the very end.I recommend people who care or be involved about race issue all should watch this movie. And ask yourself, "Is getting rid of or destroy those no your kind really a good way?" It always seems simpler, easier, but always brings more hate and harm as bloody history.
View MoreThis film is intended to be about the way modern German society deals with important issues facing them, and they way they can quickly come under the spell of a "strong leader" ETC. Unintended by the film makers I suspect, was the way the modern left exposed themselves in the way they see those who dare to disagree with their positive views on globalisation and internationalism.The main message of the film seems to be that those Germans (or Europeans in any European nation) who believe that Germany isn't some giant refugee centre for the rest of the planet, and that Germans have a right to their own indigenous land, not the rest of humanity, are just like Der Fuhrer.An example of this can be seen in real time news footage of a Swede making the suggestion that asylum seekers, heaven forbid, should actually accept the cultural and societal norms of Sweden. Oh how "Evil" of that "intolerant" man! The film is well made and funny (who'd a thought Germans had a sense of humour?) in places. But take the leftist political message with a grain of salt. Europeans have EVERY RIGHT to be concerned about their demographic integrity and migration from the developing world that never seems to cease. They have the right to be concerned about these things without being demonised as Nazis or anything else.
View MoreAlthough I wanted to write a long description about this movie, I felt that it not deserves any description but this: The directors of this movie want convince the Germans once again that they are the most racist people on the planet, they are guilty of everything, and because of this they are not allowed to think about anything which happens around them. The only message of this movie is: Hitler lies in all of Germans like the seeds of the Devil, making them all a nation of evil. This is not different from the Nazi propaganda that the Jews are all parasites, who want to take over the world. It surprises me that those who think about themselves that they are democrats, anti racists and antifascists, hating all things related to these, like the producers of this movie, as I obviously understood after watching this film, do not notice that they are doing the same thing, what the Nazi propaganda had done against the Jews, Romanis and other minorities. But this time, they do it against the Germans, and this seems to be very OK, very PC for them! Watching this movie it is hard not to feel that some conspiracy theories are not conspiracy theories at all... I am feeling that this movies only purpose was to make the Germans to feel guilty, in order to make them fully receptive for the migrant invasion which was about to start, when the movie was made...
