Hitler was an ideological politician, not a politician. This is exactly what makes him terrible, and that's why his destructive power is beyond imagination. When you look at him, he firmly believes that the remaining German people should be eliminated and deserve to die, a kind of chill is born. But such people were elected by the German people themselves. Goebbels said in the play: The German people authorized us. Such a crazy person, with countless steadfast followers, will not give up his loyalty to the head of state even at the last minute. I don't know what kind of beliefs can support Mrs. Goebbels to poison her own children. Does she sincerely believe that there is no tomorrow without National Socialism! Suddenly thought of the ideological education and propaganda machinery of the CPSU. Thinking of "Reader", the heroine in the play did not feel guilty at all when she executed the Nazi orders. Why does cruelty triumph over human nature? I didn't want to understand.
The whole film is filled with a sense of depression that people can't wake up in a nightmare. Both the Soviet system and the Nazi system make people feel this way. Thousands of people are driven and oppressed by the system. Thousands of people have consciously maintained the system and chanted long live someone. A few people create a system that oppresses the majority, but it is followed by the majority.
