The portrayal of Hitler has been a popular theme of Movies and Web Series. This particular Movie on Adolf Hitler was released in 2021. Someone who died way back in 1945 is relevant even after nearly 80 years. Countless Dramas, Movies and the latest Incarnation Web Series have been made on different aspects of Life and Rule of Hitler. Significantly, Adolf Hitler is always profaned withnegative approach. But nevertheless, if Hitler is relevant even today, this means there is soft corner for Hitler whose name has become synonyms with Opression.
Oppressive rulers were before Hitler and after him. Is it right to say only Hitler Villain and all others are saints. Was Hitler only responsible for World War-2 ? No doubt, 2nd World War was devastating upto then. But in 2024, this logic simply look baseless. Even if this is taken for granted, can one justify the nuclear attacks on Japan? How many films have been made on the worst catastrophe of human history happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
The international community formed United Nations after that. But has this delivered for global peace? The security challenges are multidimensional today. Apart from War Mongers, the non-State Actors are trying to sabotage global peace. The World had never been so insecured as it is today.
Then why only blame Hitler? No one can be totally good or entirely bad. Adolf Hitler was no exception. Our Hitler syndrome shows that in our sub- contious mind Hitler dwells whom we love but never ready to admit. Films should present Hitler both with negative and positive attributes. This is undeniable that what Adolf Hitler could is still unmatched. There was only one Adolf Hitler, one admits or not, reality is Hitler can be hated but never be ignored. Aren't we suffering from a Hitler Syndrome? Ponder.
