Yes, it's a Hitler movie. Yes, it's a comedy--that suddenly turns very dark in the last ten minutes or so.
I like its portrayal of Hitler though. Usually media depicts him, at least in the war's closing years, as a raving madman. (That's why the sympathetic rendition in Der Untergang was so controversial.)
In Er ist wieder da, Hitler is shown to be savvy and adaptable, not to mention charismatic--which he was. Of course modern tech is mindblowing to him, but he immediately recognises its potential and jumps on it.
Look how deep rooted censorship is in our culture that you can’t even study hitler without feeling guilty about it.we should treat the research of history with a clean slate. Otherwise, what makes history any different than a narrative?
I strongly suggest you watch Er ist wieder da.
