1 The film is a stark satire of the current state of the German state. Social issues such as democracy and immigration are no longer topics that politicians play with, but are worthy of reflection by all contemporary people.
2 The people are indifferent to politics, and even take a joking attitude. The public appearance of the head of state did not arouse any panic among the people. Anti-Semitism and militarism seem to have been forgotten. Any entertainment report lacks a basic political bottom line. The era of even serving entertainment is distressing.
3 Does the renewed success of the head of state in political incitement against the people mean that rationality has the possibility of going bankrupt again? The extreme emotions of forbearance and restraint will still be rekindled by personal charm and propaganda methods. The "rebirth" of the seemingly absurd head of state is nothing but the re-emergence of today's Nazi politics.

The extreme right has lurked to this day and found a new form."

    I like it very much. Not only has the political purpose been articulated, it has not lost the character and dramatic conflict of film as a medium. Similar to "The Tide", but closer to the contemporary era than "The Tide". After watching it, I felt that I didn't learn German movies in vain for two years, thank you.
