Hitler Film Analysis

Working out conflicts face to face can and cannot make a difference in resolving the problem.“These face-to-face interactions build trust, understanding, and a real sense of a shared mission, and this has made all the difference in the world.” This direct quote from Forbes.com explains how this specific way can improve how the world communicates to each other. Many people will disagree with the previous statement, but it is just one of the basic elements of the social system. Admittedly, not everyone believes in face to face interaction. People can choose whichever side they want to, but people can solve their problems by talking to somebody.

The stories about Adolf Hitler, the Nazis, and the Holocaust have become just like any ordinary story narrating events in the history. For many Jews, the Holocaust was a horrendous experience yet over time, the emotional reactions on the narrated stories of what happened in such brutality in past has gradually declined in intensity. The rage, the hate, the fear, and the sorrows that go with educational reading the events are no longer striking yet a visit at United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC stirs a different kind of emotion. The museum exhibits seem to take the visitors back to the past days and feel the fear, pains, and sufferings of the Holocaust victims while reviving the feelings of hatred to the barbaric Hitler and the Nazi soldiers and followers.

This movie was about Michael Dunne, a Canadian soldier in WWI. In the beginning, he fought against a very young German soldier and killed him. Michael was so horrified with what he had done that he ran away from the army. Later, he was trying not to be sent back to the battlefield because he would have been killed for deserting the army. Instead he was sent back to Calgary where Michael saw Sarah and fell in love with her. Sarah’s younger brother, David, was convinced to join the army by his girlfriend’s father. Michael rejoined the army under a new name so that he could protect David. In the end, Michael saved David when he was accidentally crucified and while doing this Michael sustained fatal injuries. David lost the use of his legs, but he survived and he went home.

Bruno Bettelheim’s essay, A Victim and the liquidation of the ghetto scene in Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List deal with the Nazi and Jew stereotypes in two different ways. Bettelheim argues that the stereotype of a Jews self-victimization leads to further victimization by the Nazis. Whilst Spielberg's liquidation scene demonstrates that the victimization of the Jews occurs either way. Bettelheim’s take on the unpopular stereotype of the self-victimization of the Jews and Spielberg's stereotypical representation of the Nazi’s nature allow for the acknowledgment of differences in perception of prejudice and arguments on anti-Semitism.

Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor, once said, “The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference.” Hitler used words to create hate and intolerance toward Jews. Because of this about 6 million European Jews were murdered by Nazi Germany during WWII. There was a lot of hate and intolerance during the Holocaust, but there were people who were able to fight against it. In different books and movies people overcame hate and intolerance during the Holocaust by giving bread to a Jew, hiding a Jew in their house, sneaking into a death camp to help a Jewish friend, and never giving up during hard times.

Throughout the Holocaust hate and intolerance seemed like the only themes seen in the world. This period of time is often thought of by adults and youth alike as the time when the Germans persecuted the Jews. Assumptions are made that the Germans were cruel and evil, but, sometimes people need to peer through set stereotypes and find the truth. In fact, in the evidence below obtained from fictional film, non-fictional film, children’s literature and literature, there is a clear theme shown that hate and intolerance wedged their way into every person’s own situation during the Holocaust.

Film was also used to distill and disseminate the Nazis' racist values. For example, in the movie Jud Suss, the director Veit Hartlan distorted the story of an actual eighteenth century Jewish court financier who had been hanged for "Christian treachery and hypocrisy" (Welch, 18983, p.285)" (Dempsey). The Nazis would use the propaganda as a way of dehumanizing the Jews by belittling and insulting them. They used it to try and get people to look at Jews differently, to try and get people to think twice about those that they lived and worked with. The propaganda was one of the first things the Nazis did to try and change the German mindset about how Jews were viewed in their society.

In his adaptation, Verhoeven gets away with cheeky, sometimes savage, parody of patriotism with campy enthusiasm, blatant and black humour and a cast of bugs, which steal the picture under the noses of the scrubbed and brainwashed teenage troopers. Some critics who understood the satirical point still “worried that a younger audience would not-that naïve viewers would embrace this fascist world, much as those of similar age did in the 1930s” (Grimsley, 2014, p. 76). According to Grimsley, the film's success in depicting the allure of fascism is what assists us to understand WWII, for we have “long been so appalled by

In order to exemplify the significance of Jewish revenge, I will first explain a brief history of Jewish revolts against the Nazis, most notably in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Next, I will describe the fantasy of revenge in Holocaust cinema. Third, I will analyze the specific sequences of armed vengeance in Inglourious Basterds. Finally, this analysis will lead into my discussion of the director’s depictions of imagined Jewish revenge. Through the interpretation of particular film techniques, I plan to accentuate the malevolent and vindictive fantasies taken by Jews in order to highlight their resemblance to the monstrosities of

A new Fascist belief system has been adopted in Germany, this belief system is based on government and social organization.The leader of this National Socialism or Nazi group is Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler has risen to power since the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. Adolf Hitler and the Nazis have developed a form of fascism that also includes scientific racism and antisemitism. Hitler has chosen to place blame on the jewish people for the war and for poverty in germany.

The holocaust was against three main groups of people, Jews were the main group, there were also gypsies and the disabled.This topic is important because the Nazis killed innocent people out of hate and intolerance. The Nazis killed Jews, Gypsies, and disabled out of hatred and intolerance. In the book Eva’s story we see this and also in the movie paper clips and in the books Benno and the Night of Broken Glass, and Book thief we see indirect correlations to the holocaust.

Big, bold, audacious. Inglorious Basterds will startle or annoy some while also accentuating that Tarantino’s a brilliant director of quixotic films. While this war adventure may bore some, it is filled with many of Tarnatinos’ wondrous film making skills. Set in a fictitious WWII in German occupied France, Aldo Raines (Brad Pitt) and “The Basterds” are on a mission to take out Nazis. Meanwhile, Shosanna Dreyfus (Melanie Laurent) is running a cinema and is approached to premiere a propaganda film. Her vengeful plans coincide with “The Basterds” plan and fates align in an attempt to exterminate the Nazis gathered at the cinema. Jew-hunter Cl. Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz) also throws his hand into the bowl to stir the mixture, creating a wonderful final product.

The film, Judgment at Nuremberg, was about the fates of four German judges in the Nuremberg Trials. They stood accused of committing non-combatant war crimes against a civilian population, the Holocaust, and the post-World War II geopolitical complexity of the actual Nuremberg Trials. The film discussed how Germany was not at total fault due to the degradation of Germany and the hypocrisy and deceit from the destruction of the Allies.

This analysis of Nazi propaganda will examine how the Nazi Party used propaganda images and rhetorical strategies during the “Third Reich”. I will examine the propaganda cartoons titled, “The Rhine and the Ruhr”, “The Vampire in the Ruhr Area” and “Jewish Conspiracy Against Europe”. I will use two quotations from Burkes essays, the first being, “[…] whereby the “Aryan” is elevated above all others by the innate endowment of his blood, while other “races” in particular Jews and Negroes, are innately inferior,” (Burke, 156). The second quotation I will use from Burke’s essay states that, “[…] a number of essentially different enemies must always be regarded as one in such a way that in the opinion of the mass of one’s own adherents the war is being waged against one enemy alone. This strengthens the belief in one’s own cause and increase one’s bitterness against the attacker,” (Burke, 151). I will use a quote from Mein Kampf which states that, “it was and it is Jews who bring Negroes into the Rhineland, always with the same secret thought and clear aim of ruining the hated white race by the unnecessarily resulting bastardization, throwing it down from its cultural and political height […] He weaves a net of enemies,” (Hitler, 325). The last quote I will use is from Goebbels’ “The tasks of the Ministry for Propaganda” which states that, “the age of extreme Jewish intellectualism is over […] the past is lying in flames […] the future will rise from the flames within our hearts

Under the sheer persuasiveness of Adolf Hitler, the Jews were being denounced and controlled by Germany’s police forces. Being a Jewish man himself, Polanski was able to depict the story with dark, acid humor and a callous objectivity that embodied both cynicism and compassion. In order to establish this thought throughout the film, Polanski uses techniques including mise en scene and
