Look Who's Back (2015)

Just what I expected

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This piece will dawn on you like a small epiphany if you come to it cold. It is both what and not what you might expect and best served to yourself as an impulsive dessert for your intellect. Just watch the gahdam thing and, I'm intuitively positive, you will think about it after and have your very own opinion(s). To those responsible, Vielen Dank!!

Comedic and searing. This film makes an important point about human nature and the corruption of power. Every citizen of every country should watch this film ... and keep a mirror handy.

The movie is about Hitler suddenly finding himself in 2015 Germany and his "adventures" with a news/film producer. I believe that it would be a good idea to examine the movie in two main parts which are comedy and political: Comedy: Even though it is not a full-time laughter fest it indeed is funny and makes the movie viable for any one looking for a relaxed watch.Political: On the other side, the movie has many political/sociological messages in it which are not just from one perspective. It does not try to impose one idea to the viewer instead it embraces them to think which definitely is a great value for any movie. I will not detail the ideas as it is for you to find and evaluate, even though, the final of the movie gives a clear message.P.S. How they ended the movie is especially beautiful(NO spoiler). It does not have strict edges and but also does not leave the viewer totally blank.An amazing experience is waiting for anyone who is going to watch that beautifully made movie.

This movie touches an interesting topic, based on the book 'Er ist wieder da', where Hitler awakes 70 years after his death in Berlin, alive and kicking. Although this is marked a comedy, and has some funny moments, it is not really a comedy. And that also means it lacks goal; the movie does not really know what it wants to be. Comedy? Thriller? Documentary? Propaganda? The movie is carried by the good performance of the lead actor playing Hitler. As the movie progresses, it's becoming more and more a political commentary, but unfortunately of the cheap kind. One could say that as political commentary it slides into the same manipulative propaganda it condemns in Hitler ('I play people like the piano'). This movie could have been better if it had chosen for a clear direction (e.g. political commentary, or philosophical challenge to the value of democracy). Although OK, it struggles to rise above B-film status.
