Someone else is having trouble with all those “Nazis are people too” movies being put out by the culturally-bankrupt, dead-souled film industry. Here’s an article in the UK Times about the phenomenon:
A spectre is haunting Europe. It wears jackboots, a swastika and a delicate tear-stained expression of angst-ridden introspection.
Read the whole thing. I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks we already “understand” the Nazis quite enough, thank you, and that there isn’t any particular reasons to hunt among them for sympathetic characters. Believe it or not, there were some good guys fighting the Nazis back in the day who weren’t fellow Nazis! No really. Look it up.

Oh great, Emo Hitler. It isn’t as if the trappings of Nazism haven’t already been appropriated by enough repulsive clowns. But what can you expect, when it’s considered witty and accurate to compare George W. Bush to Hitler? These people haven’t a clue what the Nazis were, and since most of them reject the concept of evil (save as a label to apply to political opponents in a democratic society) they couldn’t begin to understand.

Ha ha! “Emo Hitler.” I love it!
I will say that in the trailers for Valkyrie the Hitler character seems to be portrayed as a frothing-at-the-mouth crank. Sure, he was evil and all, but was he like that all throughout? What explains his popularity up to the final years of the war, then? He couldn’t have been that unpleasant in the eyes of his admirers. I think the filmmakers made him that way so they can have a comeback to the accusations that they’re nicing up the Nazis: “But we put in crazy evil Hitler monster!”

Isn’t it obvious? They put in crazy evil Hitler monster to firm up the comparison to crazy evil Bush monster.
