Blindness

The scene that wanted to focus on is when Bronski wants to prove to the rest of his cast and director that he looks like Hitler in To Be or Not to Be. Right now, there is a huge stigma on how mysterious Hitler is to the world, and how no one really knows who he is or how to identify him. That is why everyone in Bronski’s play is not convinced that Brosnki portrays Hitler well enough.

When Bronski steps outside, huge groups and mobs of people start to surround him because they immediately think that Bronski is Hitler. They are all overwhelmed. But, most of these people who are in shock are adults. When the little girl walks up to Bronski and asks for his autograph, everyone stands in amazement because they could not believe that a little girl just walked up to “Hitler”. These adults were blind, and too scared, to realize that this was only an actor.

This shows that when adults are in fear, they are close minded, and want nothing to do with what is causing the fear. This little girl was able to see right through the Hitler costume and see the true actor underneath, who was Bronski. This scene also shows how innocent little kids are, and how unaware they are of all the terrors in the world.
