Gave it a try… immediately false…
I decided to give the faux historians of a random network another shot at a substantiated history only to find out… they were trying to re-write history again. Personally, I don’t know who this is benefiting.The first words implying that Adolf Hitler never had an occupation in mind are not only a travesty but a blatant lie! The man was a war veteran and an artist before the fact… and then have the first interviewee compare him to Trump with no credibility!
Within the first two minutes! This is a smear campaign. This is unadulterated dumbness. Those who agree with this filth have a lot to learn about the “tolerance” they preach by flouting this trash.
The long shadow of Hitler
“The Meaning of Hitler” (2020 release; 93 min.) is a documentary about the long shadow of Hitler, now 75+ years after his death and the demise of the Nazis. As the documentary opens, we see a New York train commuter reading reading the 1978 book “The Meaning Of Hitler” by Sebastian Haffner (the original book was in fact titled “Anmerkungen zu Hilter”, meaning “Notes on Hitler”), and the documentary makers take that book as a starting (and at times resting) point to muse about Hitler. We join the film makers as they travel to Austria to look at Hitler’s birth place and upbringing, and his eventual failure as a painter. How could such a man become what he became? There is no single black and white answer… At this point we are 10 min. Into the movie.Couple of comments: this is the latest documentary from co-directors Petra Epperlein and Michael Tucker. Let me state upfront that this isn’t just another documentary on Hitler. It’s a complex film that borders on a college class in character studies, with lots of talking heads making psychiatric and philosophic points about the rise and fall of Hitler. And yes, the parallels between Hitler and Trump are made in a chilling way. But it’s not just Trump of course. Watch how the film makers trace the rising nationalism in various parts in Europe, notably Poland and Hungary. But plenty of other interesting points are made about the concept of was and peace. A tour guide in Berlin is asked “how did the Nazis invade Germany?”. No, really. But here is the most chilling point: when asked if “it” can happen again, the 80-something professor and authority on the Holocaust responds simply “yes” (and then explains why–just watch!).
“The Meaning of Hitler” premiered on the film festival circuit in the Fall of 2020, and it opened out of the blue this weekend at my local arthouse theater here in Cincinnati. The Friday early evening screening where I saw this at was attended so-so, exactly 9 people including myself. If you have any interest in understanding how Hitler rose to power in Germany, and why something like that could happen again in the West, I’d readily suggest you check this out, be it in the theater, on VOD, or eventually on DVD/Blu-ray, and draw your own conclusion.
