2015 ‘Er ist wieder da’ Directed by David Wnendt
Adolf Hitler wakes up in a vacant lot in Berlin, with no knowledge of anything that happened after 1945. Homeless and destitute. Although everyone recognizes him, nobody believes that he is Hitler; instead, they think he is either a comedian, or a method actor.

Was I rooting for Hitler not to die? Yes, I was. Please, let me explain - the fact is that he never died in the first place and we cannot go to sleep (and end the movie), thinking that we finally killed him. Because we didn't.
Hitler wasn't just a person, he was a whole nation - the whole world - gone crazy, he was hate and fear, and envy, he was xenophobia and racism, he was people looking for easy solutions and someone to blame. And if you think that all of that is dead, well, take a hard long look around yourself.
5/5, like
Once, the idea that a Hitler could rise to power in the 21st century seemed like the fantasy of conspiracy theorists. Today, a better question isn't if Hitler is coming back, but if we'll recognize him when he does. Maybe, as in the episode of "Andy Richter Controls the Universe," he'll come back as the coffee cart guy at a corporate office in Chicago. Maybe, as some have cast Donald Trump, he'll come back as a bullying businessman who would tear the world to pieces just to secure the power that money can't buy. But, as a horrifyingly perceptive new German comedy reminds us, one thing's for sure: Hitler won't come back as himself.
I first came across the German novel Look Who's Back when doing some research online for a paper I was writing on the history of satire. The premise really intrigued me, but I had no idea that it had already (or at least was in the process at the time) been adapted to the screen. Of course Netflix would be the first American distributor to pick this up, because after watching it it's not really hard to tell why. It's so clearly a film that looks as if it was made for TV, I wonder if it even got a wide German theatrical release. It feels like a TV movie, the quality is like that of a TV movie, and…
Em tempos de relativismo e permissividade com discurso de ódio - que só pode ser coisa de "esquerdista doido” - você não vai assistir filme mais adequado do que o alemão “Look Who’s Back”, adaptação do livro de mesmo nome. Entrou faz pouco tempo na Netflix. Pega o link: www.netflix.com/watch/80094357
É uma comédia satírica, misturada com mockumentary, que mostra o que aconteceria se, de repente, Hitler acordasse misteriosamente no centro de Berlim em 2014. Selfies nas ruas, sucesso viral no YouTube, recorde de audiência na televisão, pode nomear.
A mão do diretor David Wnendt é um pouco pesada para provar seus pontos em alguns momentos, mas o uso do humor e o crescente da narrativa vão te manter o tempo…
"Do I look like a criminal?!?"
"You look like Adolf Hitler"
"Exactly"
I'm currently reading the original novel that this film is based upon, and I can proudly say that the book is way better than the film adaption.
Look Who's Back contains a very hilarious and controversial plot, but what ties it down is the amateur filmmaking used throughout the film.
Now I'm not one to get annoyed usually at amateurish filmmaking, I usually don't mind it; but this film is just so damn annoying. It cuts back and forth from these really unfunny scenes that aren't shot properly; clearly attempting a found footage moment. These scenes are basically the bloopers of the film, as well as the actors…
A bitterly disappointing satire considering the promise suggested with the ingenious premise behind it. David Wnendt's Look Who's Back contains a number of great scenes but after establishing its target with its satire, the act soon becomes tiresome. It's such a shame because a premise like this certainly can be taken to such a great length especially when done right at least in a good example being Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator which mocks Adolf Hitler's ideals, Look Who's Back shows how inside of a modern world what he stands for just sounds like that of an insane person (which Hitler already was), but it's never as bold as it really should have been.
With a premise like this, there's…
Fabian Sawatzki: How did Hitler come up with his mustache?
Adolf Hitler: In the war I had to trim It so it can fit into the gasmask.
Adolf Hitler: Build the Fourth Reich? They can't even build an Ikea shelf.
Fabian Sawatzki: You're a monster.
Adolf Hitler: Am I? Then you have to condemn those who elected this monster. Were they all monsters? No. They were ordinary people, who chose to elect an extraordinary man, and entrust the fate of the country to him. What do you want to do, Sawatski? Ban elections?
Holy shit.
What if Adolf Hitler didn't die in 1945 and instead was transported 70 years into the future.... the most scary thing is that he might have had a place in this day and age with the culture clashes and swarms of refugee causing anger across Europe. This satire triggers into this in a corny and humorous way as Hitler tries adjust to the modern mindset looking for support for his cause. And it works rather well. Plenty of laughs and WTF moments. I'm sure it could have been handled even better, but the I also know it could have easily been a total train wreck. So I'm thankful that it was as funny as it was.
