I absolutely enjoyed 2015’s ’Er its wider da’ or ‘Look Who’s Back’. This German film written and Directed by David Wnendt and starring Oliver Masucci, who captured a rather confused and powerful Adolf Hitler, Katja Riemann, Fabian Busch, and Lars Rudolph among others. Filmmaker Wnendt got the idea to do this film because he wanted to see how people would react to Hitler.
Based on the bestselling novel by Timur Vermes and grossing triple of its original budget its fair to say that the film was a success. Posing many interesting questions to viewers should their be a resurgence of this kind and highlighting the budding problems in Europe at the moment, it was a clear display of how humans work. Hitler is nothing like modern people think, but what he was able to persuade society to do in the past was still alive in some people of today.
Extraordinary acting and wonderful candid interactions that were a mixture laugh-out-loud funny and the sad perspective of what we still deal with in the 21st century. 4 nominations that year and no wins, but definitely a winner in my book; this story I believe was a mirror separating the past and the present, lets hope, not the future.
