When we were training in Germany last year, when the amphibious copyright agent of this book and film gave us a lesson, I really wanted to watch it, and I finally watched this film today.
The whole film is a political light comedy, and the opening is rather nonsensical. In the mid-term, when Hitler showed his charisma in modern times, different people showed different reactions, because they satirized the political behavior of the current Merkel government that is too left-wing, and criticized the infinite technology. The powerful but spiritually and socio-culturally "bad" status quo has been approved by many people, and of course many people are wary and opposed. The older generation of people who lived through that era hated him deeply, and the new generation of young "neo-Nazis" either supported him, thought he could not represent them, and even beat him up. It's a bit like "The Tide" here. The film also added bridges from the book and the movie itself, which is also a very bold innovation.
The ending is awesome, the society is still the way it is now, people still have to face the problem of immigration from the Middle East, and the problem of rising unemployment and falling fertility. Hitler really became an "entertainment" oriented person, allowing more people to reflect on him and what he did.
The narrative rhythm and connotation of the story are quite good. Today, Germany is facing the problem of "new Germans", and it is impossible for the people not to tend to conservatism or even extreme nationalism. Hitler was in power when he was in power. , his political propositions were correct for ordinary people at the time, but ultimately led Germany to the abyss. So it's really important to really bring Hitler back to the present era and get people to think about something. No matter how heavy the history is, it is not to forget, not to hate, nor to repeat the same mistakes, but to look at it rationally and interpret it calmly.
The film culminates in a rooftop conversation between Hitler and the reporter who discovered him. When the reporter realized that this was the real Hitler, he shot him on the balcony, but there was no Hitler's body on the street that fell downstairs. At this time, Hitler's voice came from behind: You can't leave me, I am you Part of everyone... This quote reminds me of Putin's widely circulated saying "to forget the past is without a conscience, to go back is without a head."
