far more valuable than comedy

This setting is real bullshit

Hitler's return (if not) proved just how fragile the proud democracy is, the addiction of entertainment and the ignorance of the crowd, and once again Le Pen was wise think

This doesn't seem to be just a comedy. Fabian was the only one who realized Hitler's identity. Unfortunately, he was thrown into a mental hospital. Instead, his "truth" was arranged as a means of entertainment. The nesting doll is still a nesting doll, how can we be sure that we are not inside a nesting doll?

While studying media literacy, I noticed Hitler exclaiming "what a propaganda tool" when he saw a TV in a hotel. 70 years ago, the propaganda tool Hitler relied on was the radio. When he thought of "The Tin Drum", the little boy knelt on the sofa and listened to Nazi speeches by the radio. After 70 years, he can completely rely on TV and new online media. This is an interesting detail.

The film uses a comedic metaphor for what's happening now, with news clips at the beginning and end of the credits establishing a link between reality and fiction, a world that isn't all that comforting. Populism is on the rise and the global economy is down. A few days ago, EU members scrambled for supplies due to the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia. In his speech, the President of Serbia still used a choked voice to say that Europe is not as a collective as imagined. This is a kind of instability, and whether this instability is its essence or just a harbinger of greater instability, we don't know, but it is certain that the show carries more than its comedic value real value. Here, we are slowly waiting for the archaeology of the descendants decades and hundreds of years later.
