mnynvrlp Just watched "Look Who's Back" which I expected to be a full-blown comedy satire, as a movie it's very smart with tons of cultural references and is very funny in general.But the movie also commented on real-life political situations or climates in Germany and Europe. going as far as mixing real people and their reactions in the movie alongside the actors and their acting.This movie was a funny, smart, thrilling, yet pretty genuinely chilling piece of cinema. So many scenes serve as mirrors and reflect on our mindsets as a society.It's better than Downfall and is probably the best movie-documentary I've ever watched.Totally recommending this movie to anyone knowledgeable of history, cultural references and socio-politics matters who wants to have a laugh, yet a very serious and surreal experience.

contact-86263 Masucci bears only a passing resemblance to Hitler, but his presence, timing, and delivery were spot on and it was easy to believe this was the Fuhrer himself - and I don't even speak or understand German.Besides being quite funny - throwing Hitler into the present day in the typical fish out of water scenario - the film has a serious undertone. I think if Hitler were to return in this form (mistaken for an actor) he probably would be able to change the thinking of the German people. Fortunately it appears that time travel is well nigh impossible, so we can enjoy the film for the fantasy it is.10 out of 10 for the acting, cinematography, dialogue, and storyline. I especially liked the candid interviews with the public and the range of reactions they provoked.

andreipetrescu-00512 Emotional, funny and also a little bit historical. I love it! Hitler living in the 21th century...that is a great idea. Very good acting I am not giving any spoilers...I am just gonna tell you some stuff.The movie is great and totally worth watching and i can say i agreed with some stuff that Hitler was saying!

ComedyFan2010 A movie with a great idea of Hitler waking up in our time based on the book with the same title.I liked it for the most part. I liked the idea and how it was written. Bringing the humor and at the same time sending a message with it. It is especially well done how the movie flows. At first it is more of a lighthearted comedy which gets more serious with the time and the last scenes of it are not about humor anymore but summarizing the idea of how Hitler would have a chance in our time to repeat the history. |We get the mockumentary moments where Hitler talks to people and they give him their views on current politics and what bothers them. I have looked into it and seems that they were all staged and just presented as real interviews. It is pretty well done though how most look at Hitler not as a history monster but entertainment and are exited to take selfies with him.The portrayal of Hitler by Oliver Masucci is great. He presents the Hitler energy and charismatic speaking very well. He makes us kind of like Hitler. He is that interesting outspoken guy even though in the back of our mind his crimes against humans in the past remind us of who he really is. And from time to time his actions, like killing the dog, bring us back to reality that he is not a nice human being. Yet this portrayal of Hitler as a man we are drawn to and enjoy listening what he says about wanting to improve his country instead of showing him as a caricature monster shows how we can still be influenced and manipulated these days even by somebody with the views that we are so sure we will not repeat by having learned from the past.The scenes of him talking on TV and being taken in are also a great part of it. As well as some people realizing that he is not seeing just as a comedian by people as he was in the beginning but that they actually like what he says. This is this nice transition of people being taken in but what they think is harmless entertainment and swallowing propaganda. We have also a great scene of the grandma looking at Hitler and recognizing him from the past which gives a comment on this with her remembering how at first people were also seeing him as harmless.Besides the main idea of the movie I also enjoyed some laughs at Hitler discovering the modern world. Especially him going to dry cleaning, watching TV and being upset over so many cook shows selecting the Greens as his favorite party and exploring the internet which he then sees as a great propaganda tool which it is.I guess I am just not too much into the very left wing bias which makes us think of every person who has any concerns and does not 100% agree with the left. Mind you I have never voted for the right wing. But I am irritated by every person leaning right being linked with Hitler. There is noting eye opening or revolutionary about it, it is the norm of today. Left propaganda is as real as the right one and I have felt a slight stench of it in this movie. I am interested in reading the book now because from what I have read it is not having those propaganda elements but is an intelligent book with a thought provoking message.But for the most part I liked the movie. It had it all together, a creative idea, good acting, fun and serious moments and a way to bring the view of the ones making it in a creative way.
