other title: 希特勒:恶魔的崛起 / 希特勒:恶魔的复活 …
1889年,希特勒出生于奥地利布劳瑙镇一个公务员家庭。青年时期处于第一次世界大战的阿道夫·希特勒,在动荡不安的乱世中,他的出现与崛起是希望的开端、还是灾难的开始?这个看似平凡的小男孩,长大后却指挥了德国军队大规模入侵各国,掀起了惨烈的第二次世界大战。 这部电影非常的真实的再现了希特勒的发家史,我们看到,他的确有作为领袖的潜质:爱国,善辩,有远见,阴险狡猾(客观的讲就连希特勒的敌人也是如此),善于收买人心等等。但我认为其在乱局中最终成为大独裁者的基本条件就是两个不变的真理:“枪杆子里出政权”和“得民心者得天下”。作为我们一定不要忽视希特勒留下的有价值的东西,这也就是这部电影的出发点。
