Heaven loves paranoid people, and hell abounds

Paranoia often brings extreme success or destruction. This

film is not suitable for:
1. Friends who want to learn how to shoot a documentary and come to watch the big bull mentality.
As a documentary filmed on a topic that many people in many countries in the world avoid, I think it is not good enough, because: the description of history is not detailed enough, which greatly magnifies what Hitler did and narrows down others. , the role of the entire era and the entire world pattern. Secondly, there are more emotional things and less rational things. From the perspective of a third party, I hope to look at the problem rationally, but inevitably the director and screenwriter's own emotional factors are mixed in.
2. The emotionally vulnerable and the moderator who favors harmony.
As a demon's family history, what he has to show is his own machine paranoid characteristics: unscrupulous for the goal, "the enemy crushes us, or we destroy all the enemies"; love is possession, and requires the other half's 100% dedication; no Friends have only interests, and human favors are worthless. They are victims of strategies and interests; self-determined ideas will dedicate their lives and exclude others and dissidents.

Cutting into the text
, I want to divide it into the first half and the second half.
The first half can be said to be very shocking. The director tried his best to show Hitler's characteristics, which was mostly called his unique charm. No pejorative meaning of any kind is included here. He grew up under the abuse of his father. He was cautious, fragile and sensitive. With a strong self-esteem, he failed the art exam and did not become an artist. At this time, he also formed a "pure German who is facing winter and his life is on the verge of collapse." The Jewish people occupy the resources of society, they are the cancer of society, and they should be eliminated from this society.” The logic here is a bit blunt and I will elaborate on it later. In the tavern, with his firm belief, he was quickly spotted by the leaders of the Workers’ Party and gave speeches on behalf of the Workers’ Party (here it is mentioned many times that Hitler’s speech was very persuasive, I think it was deliberately done by the author) After that, more and more people came to listen to the speech naturally, and many people appreciated his eloquence and opinions and wanted to give him financial support (at this time, most people focused on his passionate eloquence rather than dangerous speech. , hoped to use him as a cash cow or a political tool, but soon found that his views were extreme and his ambitions were uncontrollable, so he had resistance and compromise, more below), after the power was greatly expanded, he chose to pull The gangs coerced and lured others to stage a coup with him, but everyone’s scheming directly led to the failure of the uprising. Hitler, who was exposed to suicide and tried to commit suicide, was stopped by Helena (here I suddenly thought of what I had read in social psychology: Men take a woman's kind behavior more as a sexual signal. Hitler felt that Helena liked him so he couldn't bear to let him die, but it was only because of her kindness.) Hitler, who tried to commit suicide in prison, was called by her again. He was persuaded to regain his self-confidence. The following behavior has to be said to be very political, he first admitted his guilt (here I am also curious why the trial said that he was Guity or Not guity before the trial, is it Will a different statement change the outcome, so he doesn't know that he will go to jail and weaken his political influence), and then he uses the topic to win the approval of many people, including the judge. The end of the first part, the

second half I'm very confused about saying it out loud.
In prison, he wrote the famous "Mein Kampf" (I want to make an analogy here, but after thinking about it, I deleted it). After being released from prison, he caused chaos in the party by not asking, and then thought that the thunderous trend would return, and everyone admired him. With the power in his hands, he is obviously not satisfied with the position of the party leader, so after a series of political operations, he became the prime minister, mad at the president, and successfully took over the power. This is the end of the political part, and the next chapter will describe the struggles and compromises of different people. Fritz and the Hanfstaengl family are the most intrigued. Fritz saw the danger of his ideas early and hoped to put pressure on him through public opinion, but Hitler's power was unstoppable, and he sacrificed his life in the end. The Hanfstaengl family was originally a man who admired Hitler's talent, but after a period of communication, it was difficult to get rid of it like a maggot with bones. After Helena saved Hitler twice, Hitler fanatically worshipped this woman and said in front of his son. Out of "I only thought of you in the prison. I never admire a woman as much as
I admire you. You are so brave, so beautiful . You are the perfect woman." , making a serious confession in front of others at other people's homes is equivalent to putting me in an ethical and moral framework, but looking at the problem from an immoral perspective. After being so frustrated, most things today are the master's own fault. After Hanfstaengl , the woman found her place beside Hitler, and finally gave up the suggestion of meeting the United States with the man and became one of Hitler's accomplices.

My first impression after reading it is very strange. First of all, Hitler's speech can indeed be called passionate but not persuasive. The emotions are high, but the content and opinions expressed cannot be recognized by me, so I talked about it and didn't talk about it. The same, so the logic here feels a little bit lacking. Secondly, when I forced my niece to death, I felt that Hitler was paranoid to the point of pervertedness, and the confession at Hanfstaengl's house also made me extremely uncomfortable.

But I have to say that the biggest highlight of this film is that it can really be said that the image of Hitler is built! It brings to life the twisted and powerful demon image that is caused by a sensitive paranoid personality coupled with a dangerous point of view. He is decisive and smart in his work, his mind is delicate and insightful, and he is both firm and soft. But I also sigh that the people's wisdom is not the Germany of the past, education is the biggest driving force of civilization and progress, ordinary people like me can see the loopholes in its logic.

There is also a problem, from the film, Hitler preached the smashing of communism and the expulsion of the Jews. But in reality, I think Hitler's words are more of a means to win over people's hearts, it's his way of trying to get along with the higher-ups, and it's a fruit, but what I see in the movie is because of his anti-red and anti-Semitic emotions. He goes into politics. I am confused.

Finally, I want to say a little easter egg. When I finally watched this movie, I was very excited. I looked for Hitler's actor in the cast three or four times and couldn't find it. I found that the director seemed to have deliberately not named the adult Hitler actor's name. Put it up, I have to say that it is very attentive.

    Hitler's biographical films made in the United States, from childhood to the period when he seized power in Germany, the theme still shows Burke's warning: "As long as good people stand by, evil will triumph." But Hitler also shaped It's too masked. It seems that the political correctness of American movies is also very tight.
