In the past, my impression of Hitler was as follows: a war madman with a moustache, a little wavy hair (the Shanghai language describes short hair, and the front hair is parted to one side), a war madman who spoke aggressively, and an executioner who brutally persecuted the Jews.
After watching this movie, I realized that this character is not so simple.
The film imaginatively depicts such a story: Adolf Hitler did not commit suicide on the eve of the end of the war, but traveled to the modern age. On the site of the German "Presidential Bunker" that year, the head of state in a Nazi uniform appeared. At first people thought he was just a neurotic imitator. A TV producer invited him to be on TV for a parody-like show. The audience was captivated by his eloquent eloquence. Gradually, the fine speaker turned out to be a TV personality and a book published. With the help of modern media, Hitler once again took the stage.
The film was shot in the form of a pseudo-documentary, and the mosaic extras in some shots were real passers-by. When they saw "Hitler", I was completely surprised by the various reactions. Some people shook hands with him happily, some rushed to take pictures with him, and some even expressed their eagerness to follow him.
It turned out that he also used this method to win people's hearts and incite all kinds of things! So why are Germans, old and modern, so easily bewitched? Are the people too stupid and ignorant? It doesn't seem to be the case either. The same core values are why some people identify with Hitler.
In the final analysis, it is the selfishness of human nature. People will always be more or less dissatisfied with their current life. Some people think that the reason why they have not lived a richer and happier life is not because they did not work hard enough, but because of social problems. And there are always all kinds of injustices in society. Politicians often make full use of the dissatisfaction of the common people to achieve their goals.
The ignorance of the people is due to the fact that the information at their disposal is never timely and correct. The mainstream media is controlled by the government, and the government sector is controlled by the few in power. The truth we think we see may be just a shadow of the truth. Hitler in this film said "I didn't choose Germany, but the German people chose me". Indeed, being able to have the right to choose is already a major step forward in human civilization. And how do we choose?
Fortunately, now with the Internet, there are more opportunities for learning. Education should be the greatest hope of mankind. By watching TV, watching movies, and reading books, we should not only get entertainment. Taking history as a mirror and learning the real history is really important.
