The real name of the film is "Marx", but this Marx is not the other. He is a disabled soldier who lost his right arm in the First World War. Jewish painter. However, what is even more interesting is that although this film features Marx as the protagonist, all the focus is on the supporting role in the film, because that role's name is Adolf Hitler.
Adolf Hitler was a young man, like millions, who had just been demobilized, with frustration, bewilderment, and nervous apprehension about his new life. In addition, he is also an amateur painter, he likes works of art in the classical style, and he is quite diligent in his creation. Who knew him at the time, who would have thought that in more than ten years, he would become the initiator of a storm of war that swept the world? In this film, Hitler is really no different from ordinary people except for his fanaticism about politics.
There is a saying that history rejects hypotheses, but I think hypothetical history is like two chess players revisiting after a game, so what? Hypothesis is a crucial means for us to find out the essential connotation beneath the appearance of history. In fact, the film, consciously or unintentionally, also proposed a hypothesis, if Hitler's life trajectory changed, then where would post-war Europe, and even the world, go?
Of course, Hitler is Hitler. Lloyd George, who had been Prime Minister of Britain in World War I, had seen the world, but after seeing Hitler, who was only a German corporal during World War I, he said: "He was indeed a great man. The Führer was a great man to him. A fitting title, because he was born a leader." However, since then, Hitler's childhood and teenage experiences seem to have not received the attention it deserves, and he has been emphasized only as an adult demon, a man who creates human nightmares. culprit. Therefore, the significance of the movie "Marx" does not lie in its artistic level. It is enough honesty, frankness and courage just by showing a young and human image of Hitler.
It is said that the film was criticized by Jewish organizations in the preparatory stage, on the grounds that after committing heinous crimes, Hitler could not and should not be portrayed as a person. This is an absurd claim based on hatred and irrational. But there may also be another reason for the anger of the Jews, that is, once one looks back at Hitler's teenage years, one inevitably touches on the fact that the very widespread exclusion and prejudice against Jews in Europe at that time continued to be traced back to A longer tradition of anti-Semitism. Hitler was not alone in his madness, nor was he alone in the guilt. In other words, Hitler was the first person who intended to use violent means to carry out the genocide of the Jews and put them into practice, but not the first person to have a racist prejudice against the Jews. So why are the Jews so disgusted and hated?
Today, the Jewish people have successfully used the fact that they had suffered misfortune to control the gold power of the world's number one power, the United States' economic power, and have reached a commanding height where they will always stand in the place of "sufferers". Under such circumstances, any questioning of the Jews, even if it is a normal criticism, will immediately be labelled with the evil label equivalent to the Nazis. Because of what Hitler did, the Jews got a "talisman" that will still be valid today and in the future. And that question is ignored: What is the purpose of millennia of anti-Semitism? Furthermore, what would be the fate of the Jews, assuming that Hitler hadn't become the Führer of the Third Reich? Will you continue to live and work in Europe?
Assuming the value of history is here, it can help us see some of the truths that are obscured by reality.
