Around 60 million people died as result of this megalomaniac. Making a mockery of this figure with voice over is fair game in my view: it dissipates negative energy, and, while still showing the visuals without alteration means to me that the real Hitler is simultaneously not hidden. There are of course going to be mixed reactions to these clips, but with myself having distant family perish (as with many others), it's not offensive but rather makes light of (as in confronts) a terrible time.
- redcap 17y agoI agree with you that Hitler is fair game for mockery. However, I think part of the equation for the film distributors is that they may think it distracts from the gravity of the scene and of the movie as a whole. The particular scene is where Hitler is confronted with the facts that the defence of Berlin is completely fucked. I would not be alone in enjoying a very malicious kind of schaedenfreud in just how fucked they are - they're going to fry. Maybe not the kind of punishment he and his kind deserve, but knowing that they knew... While I appreciate the meme that the subtitling activities has generated, being able to speak and understand a little German leads me to the opinion that it is a little cheapening towards the actual movie. I believe it's this element, plus perhaps a lack of understanding how media remixing and social networking benefits content producers, that led to the film makers issuing the take down.
