    Original Title: Mein Führer - Die wirklich wahrste Wahrheit über Adolf Hitler
    Directed by: Dani Levy
    International Film, Dark Comedy & Semi-Melodramatic

    Overall this movie had a suprisingly different taste.

    I serioulsy dont think this is a movie ...( read more)that the majority of people would gobble up, enjoy, or even get at all. Mainly because the subject matter of this movie is masked.

    The story is partly inspired by the theories of Psychologist/Author Alice Miller. Personally I think the film is a mockery of her theories about Adolf Hitler.



    The story however does not concentrate soely on Hitler, it is a story told by Adolf Grunbaum, a Jewish actor who was chosen to "inspire and teach" Hitler, before his big proclamation speech to the german nation.

    In the begining, Adolf Grundbaum says that that this story is so true, that it might not even be included in any history book ever written.

    I think this is quite a creative clever movie with a subtle hint of darkness and evil around it. The "weird image" of Grundbaum in the end was used very cleverly, and I think the movie was made not to make fun of Hitler but of certain people. Humor varies from person to person, and at the end it leaves you with a pretty truthful message.

    100 years from now, authors will still write about him, and actors and comedians will still depict him.

    Why?

    We always want to understand what we cannot truely understand...

    Kan man lage en komedie om Hitler? Selvfølgelig kan man det. Men denne er ikke noe godt eksempel. Denne filmen er en umorsom komedie om Hitler. Jeg sier ikke at filmen er dårlig, jeg sier bare at det ikke en en god komedie. Det er en bra film, men hvis du vil se en morsom Hitler ...( read more)anbefaler jeg heller å se Little Nicky.
