Emotional, funny and also a little bit historical. I love it! Hitler living in the 21th century...that is a great idea. Very good acting I am not giving any spoilers...I am just gonna tell you some stuff.The movie is great and totally worth watching and i can say i agreed with some stuff that Hitler was saying!

How to make a comedy out of very tragic events and characters? Adrian Brody did it in "Life Is Beautiful" about life in a concentration camp. "Look Who's Back" does it via the premise that Adolf Hitler returns to modern day Germany. Of course everyone believes that he is an actor - one who disturbingly never steps out of character. The audience knows that he cannot - as he actually is Hitler. Much of the film is humorous as Hitler tries to reestablish himself as "The Fuhrer" and tries to understand and cope with modern day technology and attitudes.Oliver Masucci is brilliant as Hitler -playing the role so straight that he became very scary near the end. The brilliance of Hitler was aptly demonstrated as people began responding to the hate - filled rhetoric he employed on various television shows. In real life the industrialists supported Hitler because they were sure they could control him - they could not. The church supported him because they thought he would be useful to them and that they could control him - they could not. Finally the German Army threw in with him because they wanted to get rid of their rivals - Hitler's "brown shirt" Army - the Sturmabteilung (SA). He got rid of Strasser and Rohm and thousands of others as he dismantled the organization which carried him to power. But alas the Army also could not control him.In the movie, he becomes a media star because of viewership and ratings. We see glimpses of the audience saying like "I think I agree with him, and he makes a lot of sense." The TV moguls are building their careers on his outrageousness and resulting popularity.His grasp on people is creepy, insidious and feels quite realistic. This film shows you how riveting he could be - and gives you a glimpse into how he came to power. So, beyond laughs - the message clearly is that this could happen again. We must be aware of potential dictators in our midst. A few people in the movie saw that he really was Hitler - and they were discarded at the end of the movie.This movie is not a condemnation of Germany - past or present. Hitler in the movie postulates at the end of the film that we cannot get rid of him - because he is a part of us. I hope that is not true.

Even though German is not the most pleasant language to listen to because it all sounds so aggressive all the time in this movie it works rather well because Adolf Hitler's speeches were also aggressive all the time. The movie itself is a dark comedy with sometimes a political view of modern society. It shows a lot of what is happening in Europe and what people complain about. Well at least what right wing people complain about and think about the situation because I couldn't care less about races and ethnicity's. You have good and bad people in all ethnicity's. The movie has some funny moments. I know I laughed a couple of times but for the majority of the movie I thought it was sometimes a bit long. Oliver Masucci as Adolf Hitler plays his role really good though. He has the physics and the perfect intonation in his voice to play Hitler. It's a good movie to watch once but I won't watch it a second time.

Although I wanted to write a long description about this movie, I felt that it not deserves any description but this: The directors of this movie want convince the Germans once again that they are the most racist people on the planet, they are guilty of everything, and because of this they are not allowed to think about anything which happens around them. The only message of this movie is: Hitler lies in all of Germans like the seeds of the Devil, making them all a nation of evil. This is not different from the Nazi propaganda that the Jews are all parasites, who want to take over the world. It surprises me that those who think about themselves that they are democrats, anti racists and antifascists, hating all things related to these, like the producers of this movie, as I obviously understood after watching this film, do not notice that they are doing the same thing, what the Nazi propaganda had done against the Jews, Romanis and other minorities. But this time, they do it against the Germans, and this seems to be very OK, very PC for them! Watching this movie it is hard not to feel that some conspiracy theories are not conspiracy theories at all... I am feeling that this movies only purpose was to make the Germans to feel guilty, in order to make them fully receptive for the migrant invasion which was about to start, when the movie was made...
