Adolf Hitler

Rating: 8/10 (6 November 2013)

Why will people remember Bruno Ganz as Adolf Hitler and not as an angel in Wings of Desire? Why do we always have to be impressed by evil and not good? Answer is simple. There is so much evil in this world of ours that being good is almost impossible, and being remembered for it. Yes the Nobel prize is there and all that, but Adolf Hitler impresses so many that even Emily Hartridge likes to talk about him.
His story is actually a miserable one. Low ranking sergeant in the World War I, gassed, went crazy since that event, he obtained a feverish drive to make things right his way. His ambition was so strong and unrelenting that there was no one to stop him. Only old Hindenburg recognized the danger: I am not giving power to that Czech corporal! But he was too old to stop him. Von Papen even went to diplomacy to hide from a mistake of bringing Adi to power.
Europe of those times was ripe for another conflict, not because people wanted it, but because of poverty and misery of too many people. Hitler said it was the Jews who were to be blamed about all ills of German society, but in effect, WWI impoverished German society so much that recovery was to be slow and ineffective. Only sexual energy turned into adoration of the Fuehrer could turn things around. It did, but with such a disastrous results.
Watching last days of Hitler is so impressive, because everyone adored him so much around him that the world for some of them like Magda Goebels was impossible without Him and NazionalSocialismus. Nazis never thought they could loose, they thought they had Mesianic role in Europe. Boy were they wrong! Who flies high falls really low! I am sorry Mr. Ganz, you will be remembered as Hitler and not as an Angel! I am so sorry! Here I cry over your sacrifice and over all the victims in the World War II. Will my cry help the future victims of the wars? No.
