Memorable, crazy movie
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
I watched this before our own "election", now it's not funny it's happening
The movie is about Hitler suddenly finding himself in 2015 Germany and his "adventures" with a news/film producer. I believe that it would be a good idea to examine the movie in two main parts which are comedy and political: Comedy: Even though it is not a full-time laughter fest it indeed is funny and makes the movie viable for any one looking for a relaxed watch.Political: On the other side, the movie has many political/sociological messages in it which are not just from one perspective. It does not try to impose one idea to the viewer instead it embraces them to think which definitely is a great value for any movie. I will not detail the ideas as it is for you to find and evaluate, even though, the final of the movie gives a clear message.P.S. How they ended the movie is especially beautiful(NO spoiler). It does not have strict edges and but also does not leave the viewer totally blank.An amazing experience is waiting for anyone who is going to watch that beautifully made movie.
Ancient Chinese said:[非我族類,其心必異!] People who are not our kind, must think differently(Or must be monsters). It points out one true. Forget about political correct, people would be afraid of those they don't know or those none of their kind naturally.To overcome this kind of fear is progress of civilization.When the time is bad and makes people feel hopeless, unfortunately, cunning and provocative man would lead people step on the opposite way. The way to the destruction. Directly or gradually.This movie show us the possibility of "How people may repeat terrible history again" by a very clear way. Funny, bright, and reversed at the very end.I recommend people who care or be involved about race issue all should watch this movie. And ask yourself, "Is getting rid of or destroy those no your kind really a good way?" It always seems simpler, easier, but always brings more hate and harm as bloody history.
Although I wanted to write a long description about this movie, I felt that it not deserves any description but this: The directors of this movie want convince the Germans once again that they are the most racist people on the planet, they are guilty of everything, and because of this they are not allowed to think about anything which happens around them. The only message of this movie is: Hitler lies in all of Germans like the seeds of the Devil, making them all a nation of evil. This is not different from the Nazi propaganda that the Jews are all parasites, who want to take over the world. It surprises me that those who think about themselves that they are democrats, anti racists and antifascists, hating all things related to these, like the producers of this movie, as I obviously understood after watching this film, do not notice that they are doing the same thing, what the Nazi propaganda had done against the Jews, Romanis and other minorities. But this time, they do it against the Germans, and this seems to be very OK, very PC for them! Watching this movie it is hard not to feel that some conspiracy theories are not conspiracy theories at all... I am feeling that this movies only purpose was to make the Germans to feel guilty, in order to make them fully receptive for the migrant invasion which was about to start, when the movie was made...
