The entire film is not short, and most of the length is spent on the "history" of the character Hitler. Although it covers his family, love, etc., it mainly describes the growth of a politician. However, the film handles it well. It is not objective enough, which is also an important reason why only passing marks are given.
Policies may be judged good or bad, good or bad, but politics is not just black and white. "History is a little girl who lets everyone dress up." Politics is not a "coin" with only two sides.
The film begins by describing Hitler's family and his childhood growth. It can be seen that the director wants to use his family and personality as an entry point to discuss the formation of his dictatorial thoughts, paving the way for the subsequent tyranny. However, Dad has a bad temper, Chaos in family ethics and sensitive personal character will create a tyrannical "dictator"? The world is multi-directional linkage, and it is obviously difficult to convince the public by listing such factors alone. There is too little analysis in this part, and there are too many preconceived factors. It's not objective enough. It feels like an acquired construction system forcibly innate, which is not completely equivalent to Hitler's "demon nature" in the second half of the film. Especially when Hitler grew up to a young age, just because he was unemployed, he heard someone say to him in the crowd: "All this is not good or bad for us now is because of the Jews...", so he hated the Jews because of this? Obviously not enough. By analogy with Qi Tongwei in the popular "In the Name of the People", his birth, personal talent, plus his experience, resentment played by power, and personal character, so his final outcome can be deduced because of the construction of the system. , The connection is very complete, and it is in line with public perception, so that the audience can understand this character very well, instead of blindly swearing, but thinking on the contrary, this is the purpose. Since this film has already mentioned family factors and personality factors, why did you stop at it? It doesn't even have "points to the end". Just listing these factors is just to highlight the "devil" in the future. Does that also mean that the original intention is to prove "Devils are nurtured, due to many factors", but the film's sudden "character shock" once made people feel that "demons are born, and Hitler's tyranny comes from genes", but is this true? History? It is chosen by people, whether heroes or demons are created by the times, and "the times create people" is also telling us that demons are never born.
Hitler was not rich, and his life before joining the army was not very good. Perhaps there were many blows that were very important to his life. For example, the rejection of art schools made him feel that his artistic talent was suppressed, so he was indignant. The three views gradually become a system. His entry into the political circle was not smooth, and he was used by capital and the powerful at the beginning. Everyone thought he was a "rough jade" and could be polished well. Capital just wanted to use his words to realize the bourgeoisie's dream of wealth and wealth. In the beginning, it was just a tool, but he has his own "political beliefs", and it is impossible for him to be willing to be coerced by capital. After all, he has to break out of the ground. Demons and capital are born together, giving each other the strength to survive. As far as his personal qualities of patriotism, daring to be the first, and the use of power and tactics are shown, it is indeed necessary for a politician. He is very good at speeches, bribes people's hearts, and is very inflammatory. This should actually be a leader. Advantages, there are different opinions on how to understand this kind of "advantage". It is undeniable that the principle of "whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Let me ask which political party does not need to buy the hearts of the people. How the words "line" were created, the truth learned in history textbooks early on, cannot deny a person's early political mind just because of his later tyrannical actions, and simply look at the "development of a politician" from the perspective of Hitler's political talent. Yes, some of these means "return to the most primitive force", various conspiracies, infighting, treacherous and cunning, although it is disgraceful, but politics is like this. promote historical progress. His sin lies in his wrong belief, what he believes in is wrong, and all the measures he takes are wrong. It is the reason why all mankind scorned him.
The film itself starts with the rise of Hitler's "Nazi Party". As a historical film, there should be more objective angles. Some plots are too emotional and the history will be distorted. What's more, affirming his actions in the early stage to break into the political circle does not mean affirming the disaster he brought to all mankind in the later period. These are two things. Just like Lee Teng-hui's "history of the upper ranks", his later actions are really scary and hateful, but he took every step in the early stage, and even won the trust of Chiang Ching-kuo, so it is not a kind of skill to stand at the top in one fell swoop? What we need to think about is not how they can play these "political games", what we need to think about is how they have such "big political beliefs"! The rules of the game can always be seen through and taught. The only thing that one person firmly believes in, we cannot shake or change it after it is formed. Only by looking at the source, maybe you can find something.
