You could say they took him deadly serious.The movie Look Who’s Back plays a dangerous game. We’ve all seen the endless succession of Hitlers in movies, scenes where he flies into a rage, where he is out of control (again), where he is nothing short of evil personified. Indeed one of these rug-chewing performances has become so iconic that it has become a meme, where words are dubbed over it for various contemporary circumstances where something went horribly awry. But Look Who’s Back takes the opposite tack. They show the solid Hitler, the intelligent Hitler, the eloquent Hitler, the charming Hitler, the Hitler to whom everyone flocks as a friend and a champion. That is, they show the real Hitler.By showing the real Hitler, the makers of the movie naturally drew the ire and fire of organized Jewry. Showing Hitler as he really was, as admirable, simply will not do.Of course the movie is at pains to work in a few negative scenes, like when they have Hitler shoot a dog, or they have Hitler say of the old woman who berates him that he “should have let that old hag have it.” And at the end of the movie, after Hitler’s triumphant procession through the adoring crowds in his Mercedes, they show contemporary scenes of “far right extremists” This is just to cover themselves. They are saying: We’re the good guys too, we know it can happen again.
I only think of Indians when I see this flag now.

And then they want everyone to “catch themselves” liking Hitler — and be mortified and say: “Oh, I see. I could have fallen for it too.”That is, it can happen again.Indeed that’s true: It can happen again.But as Hitler says in the film, he doesn’t want history to repeat itself — no, this time he’ll do it right.That’s the dangerous game they are playing. Because for everyone who catches himself approving of Hitler and feeling shame, there may be another who catches himself liking Hitler and feeling awake for the first time in his life; saying: Oh, I see why they follow him. I see the sense in it now.That is why the movie drew the ire and the fire of Jews. They know that high voltage is ahead.
At nearly the very end of Look Who’s Back there is a fantasy scene where the man who has finally taken the returned Hitler seriously — that is, he finally knows that it is really Hitler himself come back — takes him to a rooftop to shoot him. A few seconds after he does shoot him, Hitler appears at his back, and the look on the shooter’s face seems to say: My god, look who’s back. And then Hitler explains to his would-be murderer his enduring appeal. He asks him if he has never asked himself why it is that people follow him. He says that people follow him because at their core they are just like him, that they have the same values. He says that you can never be rid of him. He says that I am a part of you — I am a part of you all.Truer words have never been spoken.Others abide our question, we ask and ask, but Hitler will only smile on our future. Which is why it’s never a question of whether or not we are finished with Hitler, no, never; it’s a question of him never being finished with us.That is, it’s never a question of looking who’s back — because the truth is, he never left us.The virus of their utopia will meet its end.High Voltage Ahead.
Fast am Ende von „Er ist wieder da“ gibt es eine Fantasieszene, in der der Mann, der den zurückgekehrten Hitler endlich ernst nimmt – also endlich weiß, dass es wirklich Hitler selbst ist –, ihn auf ein Dach führt, um ihn zu erschießen. Wenige Sekunden nach dem Schuss erscheint Hitler hinter ihm, und der Blick des Schützen scheint zu sagen: Mein Gott, seht, wer zurück ist! Dann erklärt Hitler seinem potenziellen Mörder seine anhaltende Anziehungskraft. Er fragt ihn, ob er sich nie gefragt habe, warum ihm die Menschen folgen. Er sagt, sie folgen ihm, weil sie im Grunde genauso sind wie er, weil sie dieselben Werte teilen. Er sagt, man werde ihn niemals loswerden. Er sagt: „Ich bin ein Teil von euch – ich bin ein Teil von euch allen.“Treffendere Worte wurden nie gesprochen.Andere ertragen unsere Fragen, wir fragen und fragen, aber Hitler wird unserer Zukunft nur wohlgesonnen sein. Deshalb steht nie zur Debatte, ob wir mit Hitler fertig sind oder nicht, nein, niemals. Es geht darum, dass er uns nie verlassen hat.Das heißt, es geht nie darum, wer zurückkommt – denn die Wahrheit ist: Er hat uns nie verlassen.Der Virus ihrer Utopie wird sein Ende finden.Hochspannung voraus.
