Adolf Hitler
The opening of the film shows us a montage of Adolf Hitler's life from the years 1899-1907. The 10-year old Hitler (Thomas Sangster) is shown to be arrogant and disobedient. He has a stern, ill-tempered father, Alois Hitler (Ian Hogg), and a doting mother, Klara Hitler (Stockard Channing), who indulges his dreams of becoming a great artist. One day, his father dies of a heart attack but the young Hitler shows no empathy or concern. Seven years later, a 17-year old Hitler (Simon Sullivan) applies unsuccessfully to the Vienna Arts Academy but is told he lacks the talent to become an artist. Following his mother’s death, he moves to Vienna permanently but is unable to find work and soon becomes destitute and homeless. Influenced by the city’s prevalent anti-semitism, young Hitler becomes convinced that the Jews and immigrants are to blame for his misfortunes.
In 1914, the now adult Hitler (Robert Carlyle) leaves Austria for Munich and joins the German army to fight in the First World War. After surviving a major battle, he is promoted to the rank of Corporal

Page 3 of 12 but his intense fanaticism and virulent anti-semitic and anti-Marxist rhetoric make him unpopular with the other soldiers, who routinely ridicule and ostracize him. After Hitler displays bravery during one particular battle, he emotionally blackmails his Jewish commanding officer into awarding him an Iron Cross, claiming to be the only soldier in the regiment to defend him against anti-semitism. During the last days of the war, when Germany is in retreat, Hitler is blinded by a gas attack and is recovering in a hospital when he learns that the German Army has surrendered in the war. Hearing the news, he suffers an emotional breakdown, regains his eyesight and vows to dedicate his life toward reversing the outcome of the war.

    Adolf Hitler

    Adolph Hitler and Hermann Goering were dominant, pitiless leaders that were obsessed with art. As Edward Dolnick quoted Goering “I love art for art’s sake”. Hitler aspired to be painter, and applied to an art school in Vienna, but was rejected as mentioned in “rape of Europa”. According to rape of Europa, this perturbed Hitler because abstract modernists were accepted over him and generally Hitler hated what was going on in modern art. The fact that he has been dismissed from Vienna art school in favor of abstract and modern styles grew his hatred more for modern paintings as talked in Barron and rape of Europa. He hated modern art because of its abstract figures, shapes of the figures and its undefined lines. Hitler wants art that represented the Aryan nation that is from Europe descent. In the “forgers spell”, Dolnick adds that Hitler fantasized to build an art museum in his hometown of Linz, Austria (51). Baron says Hitler wanted to prove to the world that he was powerful. He demonstrated this by filling up his museum with the most valuable paintings in Europe.…
