"Hitler is Back" tells about one day in 2014, Hitler reappeared and resurrected in the place where he once died, and then became a star sought after by the media, a topic of the public and even an idol, and the reappearance of some people's painful memories .
The film made full use of people's "indifference" to politics and history, allowing Hitler to come and go freely, to visit the public to learn about Germany's suffering, to give a sobering speech on TV, and to stir up nationalist sentiments in Germany without being attacked.
The film avoids the technical problem of "traversing" and makes people focus on "Hitler". No one cares and no one believes that he is the real Hitler, but regards him as a Hitler that is so realistic that they can be substituted. The only male protagonist who knew and was willing to confess the truth was caught in a mental hospital, and people did not welcome the truth.
This movie is a hippie smile, there is no trial for this demon, there are only Hitler's "courage theory", uniform temptation and seemingly truth-like jokes. People have not forgotten history, but they have never experienced Hitler's era, let alone imagine how to deal with the unarmed "devil" who has passed through? Time is empty, life is full, and the times are crazy. It is destined that Hitler will become a symbol of curiosity, wealth, and carnival in this era. Hitler, who lost everything and was at the mercy of others, eventually drifted with the tide and became a walking dead. This is a victory for the wisdom of the people, and it is also the luck of the times, but it also makes people feel emotional for all the souls who have gone to the wrong time and space.
This film makes me think of a question: In what form does history exist in our lives?
Time is only valid for those who have experienced it. Only the grandmother of the heroine's girlfriend uses the most painful voice to let the demon who killed her family get out.
For other people, especially those young people, history is just an imagination and a kind of knowledge, so that even if "Hitler" became a consensus sensitivity, when he himself appeared, he was still smeared as an Internet celebrity by popular culture.
History is developing, concentration camps have turned into bloody pages, and now Hitler will be resisted and banned even if he shoots a puppy.
History is full of gaps and intertwined, and souls and thoughts have always come and gone freely. In the movie, the hero thought he killed Hitler, but Hitler appeared from behind him again. Hitler told him that the people who supported him in those days should also be judged. Today's people still call for power and a better country in their hearts, and the male protagonist is also one of them, so the male protagonist is also "Hitler". This is the best part of the movie.
The film isn't preachy, it's lightness without a lower limit, light enough to make me start self-censorship. In fact, the film's analysis of the times is profound. As for history, the movie expresses deep concern in the news clips at the end of the film: Hitler is long gone, but the frenzied politics and terrifying war have never been extinguished...
Just imagine, if Chinese historical figures are also walking on the road, people will Will TA be an actor? If not, will everything really be as peaceful as it is in the movie?
Half a century is the length of the historical projection. People living half a century later still have topics and body sensations, but they have not turned everything into black and white and sealed it up.
I appreciate this movie very much. Compared with the IP adaptation that is full of shoddy and foolish audiences, I hope that someone will use the movie to talk about a few decent propositions, and even be able to take the weight lightly and have a meaningful aftertaste, and lead the audience to think about "our proposition" together. .
