Look Who's Back
Er ist wieder da Cover art for Er ist wieder da Author Timur Vermes Language German Genre Satire Publisher Eichborn Verlag [ de] ISBN 978-3847905172 Look Who's Back ( German: Er ist wieder da, lit. 'He's back again' pronounced [ʔeːɐ̯ ʔɪst ˈviːdɐ daː]) is a bestselling [1] German satirical novel about Adolf Hitler by Timur Vermes, published in 2012 by Eichborn Verlag [ de]. The novel was adapted into a German movie of the same name, which was released in 2015. Plot [ edit] In 2011, Adolf Hitler wakes up in a vacant lot in Berlin which appears to be the location of the garden outside the bunker where he was burned, with no knowledge of anything that happened following his death in 1945. Homeless and destitute, he interprets everything he sees and experiences in 2011 from a Nazi perspective—for instance, he assumes that Turks in Germany are an indicator of Karl Dönitz having persuaded Turkey to join the Axis, and thinks that Wikipedia is named for Wikinger (" Vikings "). Although everyone recognizes him, nobody believes that he is Hitler; instead, they think he is either a comedian or a method actor.

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. Based on Timur Vermes' bestselling 2012 novel of the same name, "Look Who's Back" begins with a simple premise: What if Adolf Hitler inexplicably reappeared in present-day Berlin, arriving in a poof of smoke that dropped the (very confused) dictator into the public park where his bunker once stood? How would contemporary Germans react to the sudden return of their nation's most notorious native son? Would they believe that it was actually possible for Hitler to return, or would their skepticism and mockery provide the perfect cover for one of history's greatest monsters to slip past their defenses? When Vermes wrote the book, Trump was still a reality television star. By the time the film adaptation quietly snuck onto Netflix on April 9th (after being a huge success at the German box office last fall), the world had changed.

But if you take into account his pure and raw resistances and scalings, he would be on par with the late game champions. He just can't utilize it properly and efficiently enough compared to the other "late game champs". Continue this thread
Without Hitler, MyTV's ratings and ad revenue drop precipitously and Sensenbrink, after a fit of rage (parodying Hitler's breakdown scene in the German drama film Downfall), decides he must rehire Hitler. Hitler plays himself in the movie. After a night of filming, he is beaten by two Neo-Nazis who believe him to be a fraudulent impersonator mocking their beliefs. Hitler is hospitalized, but the news of his beating generates sympathy and he returns to high standing with the German people. While Hitler is recuperating, Sawatzki reviews his old footage and discovers a ball of energy (based on The Terminator) in the background before Hitler first appeared. Returning to the site, he finds burnt leaves. With horror, he realizes that the Hitler he encountered was the real person all along. He rushes to the hospital to confront Hitler, but finds only Katja, who says Hitler is at the movie studio. Katja doesn't understand Sawatzki when he says Hitler is real and he trashes the hospital room before running for the exit pursued by two hospital orderlies.
While the film was shot last November, over the past year the far-right movement Pegida found a large audience in much of Germany, and a huge refugee crisis has sparked a sometimes ugly backlash. In hindsight, the message of the film looks prescient. As the Berliner Morgenpost newspaper wrote in one review, it was as if Hitler "never really left. " Wnendt said he is happy with the response to the film. "People leave the cinema discussing the subject, " he said. "They're asking, 'Is it really that bad in Germany? Would Hitler really have a chance again nowadays? '" The answers to those questions are not exactly clear, but one thing is: Hitler sells. The film had more than 1 million admissions in its first two weeks and raised more than $10 million. The film has now been picked up by Beta Cinema for global distribution. Copyright: Washington Post
The great conceit of the film is that in the scenes where Hitler meets ordinary people for his media project, these people actually are ordinary people. In the style of Sacha Baron Cohen's " Borat " and other films, " Look Who's Back " blurs the line between reality and fiction — with real people interacting with a fictional portrayal of Hitler. The cast and crew drove across the country, having Hitler interact with ordinary people. Most of these people react to the sight of one of the 20th century's vilest leaders with excitement and amusement. They pose for selfies with the feared Nazi leader and perform the famous Hitler salute for him. Even non-European immigrants seemed to be happy to see the Nazi leader, Wnendt said, because "they probably learned about history a little differently. " Wnendt said that his producers asked him to include more negative reactions in the film, but they couldn't — only two people responded negatively to Hitler during 300 hours or so of filming. One negative incident, Wnendt said, was when Hitler was driving through Kreuzberg, a Berlin neighborhood known for its leftist leanings, and a man ran over and ripped his hat off.
