To be honest, "Hitler is Back" is essentially a comedy. Just watching the first half of the episode will definitely make people laugh: the Führer dressed like a minion; the material for the ghost video; Duan’s tribute; and Hitler’s inexplicably magical laughter.
But in the second half, what kind of scene do we see?
Adolf Hitler never changed, he repeated history, trumpeted racism and German revival on YouTube, recruited his SA and SS on Facebook, wrote books, made movies, and this time, even the German people Knowing his sins, even if everyone can tell that his speech is full of fascist extreme ideas, even if people understand that they have experienced a catastrophe brought about by this wicked man of the ages. But no one came out to stop him, the vested interests used him as a selling point, the emerging right-wing forces firmly believed in him, and the general public once again worshipped him as a god: a savior, a leader who can lead Germany to prosperity .
So we see that fascism has never left, it is like Hitler in the film waiting to return again. We saw that many people in the street shot took the Führer as a laughing stock and gave him the Nazi salute that was absolutely forbidden. We saw that some people were afraid of immigrants, some people persuaded him to take him back to the concentration camp, and the last scene of the film is Germany. The parade of people, who, like their ancestors in 1933, were suspicious of the country, longing for a strong man to lead them out of the woods.
As the Jewish grandma in the film said: At first people only regarded him as a joke, but after a while, he showed his original terrible face.
How far are we from fascism coming to power?
When the whole of Europe fears the dangers of immigration, no one cares about the National Front, the rise of the National Democratic Party, when the United States is in the quagmire of the war on terror, no one cares that Trump has become a Republicans are running for the presidency. No one cares that some netizens in a certain country shouted to kill all the Japanese as soon as they heard the news. We thought the Nazis were defeated by us, that militarism was gone, we forgot how much disaster they brought to the world, we forgot about racism, concentration camps, Holocausts and mass graves, we forgot about the Second World What a terrible price was paid for the war against mankind, we even forget that it all happened only 75 years ago.
Maybe the world is full of ugliness, economic crisis, Islamic terrorism, unemployment, crime rate brought about by immigration, it is these that make us call the devil, we want to release the fear in our hearts, we hope that there will be a strong one. Birth wipes everything out, but we don't care about the consequences of opening the bottle and releasing the devil.
Human nature is inherently evil, and modern law and morality have been trying to restrain us, trying to suppress the most primitive opposition in our hearts, that is, the fear of the unknown, the anger of fear, fear and anger are the most terrible infectious diseases, it Enough to make the rabble unite and become a huge beast with a bloody mouth. Think of the massacre in Rwanda that killed 1 million people, the red tyranny of the former Soviet Union, how Hitler was elected by one vote, and the various trumped-up charges we put on innocent intellectuals during the Cultural Revolution.
How far are we from the rise of fascism and totalitarianism?
