Don't forget! The Third Reich came to power democratically

At first, I thought it was a very general setting. It was nothing more than Hitler's time travel to the modern age. In the face of great changes, he couldn't adapt, and he was clumsy everywhere. Of course, this is also the regular plot of many time travel films. As a result, there are more and more historical stalks, which is very interesting, especially when the head of state takes out the business card of the dry cleaner, saying that he will get it tomorrow, "This is lightning dry cleaning." My reaction with the second male in the film was Same, it's never been so funny. Immediately afterwards, the historical jokes began to appear one after another, which was especially fun. The plot arrangement is also very reasonable. Hitler was a master of media manipulation. He accidentally discovered the wonders of the Internet and TV, so he took advantage of it and went to the country to interview passers-by. , showing the image of being close to the people, making inflammatory remarks on various occasions, and each time directly pointing to the hearts of the people, each time directly attacking the real demands of many ordinary people, dressing themselves as the spokesperson of the people, everything is almost the same as that of the early 1930s. Weimar is exactly the same. At the climax, the second male shot and killed Heath and caused him to fall from the building, which relieved me a lot in an instant, but in the end, I was resurrected, "You never asked, why do the people need me? Because they are deeply in love with each other. I'm the same, we have the same values...", and the sentence after the resurrection is the classic, "I you can't get rid of me, I'm part of you, part of all of you, you see, not everything is It's bad." At this point, the original comedy and sci-fi exteriors of the entire film have faded away, revealing the core - a strongly prophetic horror film. In comparison, "The Wave" is only an experiment in a small area, while this film is a strong attack on the weakness of the democratic system in reality, and the increasingly intensified social contradictions that cannot be bridged. The film is also warning people that the information age can also create dictators, and even the parties can spread their ideas more quickly and widely, and they can come to power in more diverse ways. Populism can easily be incited and become a hotbed of social violence. Beside Ma's tomb, a new tomb will be built, and a new dictator will be born. People should never forget that Heath's success in 1933 came to power within the framework of the Weimar Constitution, and it came to power in a democratic way.
