And all that is funny. It turns out that watching Hitler lost, diminished, irrelevant, a joke--but not a good one--is a little thrilling. That is what Timur's book is about. It wants to point at you, in silent accusation, in moral rectitude. Though my reviews should definitely be taken as gospel ha! Even though I appreciated the satire and some key word: some of the humour, this book ultimately fell quite flat for me. Again though, we are not allowed to forget who this is - every technological advance he sees only as a potential tool for creating a new Reich.
Although in form a lighthearted sex comedy, the work, needless to say, in no way condones pedophilia. I really hope this book to have a sequel, because the ending was not solved and even if sometimes I thought, 'damn, I shouldn't laugh about this' there are some parts very funny, not just easy jokes. Well, stay tuned and hold on tight to your seats if you want to find out, because tonight we have something really exceptional for you. That was truly astounding, I myself would have failed to arrest these people, as German as they looked, I was so puzzled, at first I even thought I should take the opportunity and thank Himmler for his painstaking and impartial work in this matter. The book also has a lot to say and suggest about modern life and today's saturated media culture, and for me this was where the book was at its best. I looked at the cover so white and I was like 'I know that hair from somewhere'.
To immerse yourself in what happens after, you just have to accept it. What to say about this? It was listed as one of eight films that could be the German submission for the at the , but it was not selected. Even further below all of the jokes on our modern living was a much stronger satirical criticism on celebrity culture and the problems with idolising people you don't know. He is recognised instantly by those he crosses but nobody takes him seriously taking him for an actor or performance artist. But at their worst, they just allow viewers to look away.
I also thought the book was very well translated into English idiom, especially jokes and slang. Only these 'funny' ideas got millions of people killed, crippled, not to mention victims whose wounds never healed, because they were robbed of safety, dignity, and even humanity. Those are either the politically over-correct types or modern Nazis. Katja doesn't understand Sawatzki when he says Hitler is real and he trashes the hospital room before running for the exit pursued by two hospital orderlies. Das eigentlich geniale an diesem Buch sind nicht die vielen witzigen Situationen oder die Szenen, in denen Vergangenheitsbewältigung der traurigen, zornigen, begeisterten oder abstrusen Art thematisiert wird. How ridiculous his ideas and plans now seem to be.
Shame on anyone who supports the author and the publisher of this book with a single dime. It's not that this Hitler says the bad things. That is as much as I can say of this piece of work, but I enjoyed it very much. Thus why is it that my purity is compared to a falsity? I don't drop reading at 99,9% cases, I get through real shit and this includes whole freaking series, not just one book. Hitler listens sympathetically as ordinary Germans voice their displeasure with the current state of politics and increasing immigrant populations. This entire scene is revealed to be a part of the film, and Sawatzki a in a silicone mask. Although I read this book in German, there are already lots of German reviews and it may get published in translation, so I'll review auf Englisch.
How obtuse must I have been to overlook how the younger generations of the stupid masses could benefit from this book! What to say about this? Try to cut that all out - nobody would read it. Comentario post reseña: Pronto veré la película de esta historia dado que tiene un aspecto por demás interesante: los actores salieron a la calle personificados y preguntando ¿sí yo el actor fuera el verdadero Hitler, me seguirías? And that is not entirely false; in fact that attempt was made. The American army, indeed, is an enemy of mine. Rather the opposite in fact. Vermes is also showing the potential danger of nostalgia for the time of a strong leader. My own contribution to this new and exciting genre is a screenplay based on the life of the late Jimmy Savile, the celebrated English entertainer and serial pedophile.
Because of Hitler's glorious march to world domination. But I also think that comedy, and satire in particular has a great deal of value in making us think about situations and people in ways we might not have before. I ended up skimming a lot because I wasn't enjoying it, which meant I missed a lot of the so called 'funny parts'. I found it so hard to read this book and I was constantly putting it down. But even the 'Jewish question' is well handled. The addition of Hitler didn't exactly make it sound too promising, but lack of sparkly vampires clinched the deal.
It is a drop of vitriol in the ocean. I couldn't avoid, it was too hilarious!!! Which of course makes it all the funnier in the book. Of course, there is the aspect where Berliners, then entire Germany become mesmerised by him all over again. Maybe, just maybe, it helps you to grasp the feeling of just how dangerous that man was. Yet as far as I can see the worst thing that Hitler does in this movie is throw a coffee cup onto the grass when they are in a scenic spot! It should delight you to know that I designed a lot of Germania, of course, the war has torn down most of my handiwork but here and there some have survived. Does the humour in this book make Hitler look good? Every fiber of my being is true because the Fatherland deserves nothing but the truth.
