The still I selected for this blog post came at the end of the film, To Be or Not To Be. I believe this scene plays a very important role in the theme of the film as it is evidence supporting the theme. The one theme behind the film was to point out the ignorance and scatterbrained mind of the German people. While the German’s were supposed to be highly intelligent people, this scene encapsulated the ignorance of them. They believed and disregarded an individual by a simple fake mustache. They then acted flabbergasted when he was not the man they thought he was. Another piece of evidence would be when all the men came into the meeting room within this scene. They all gave the “Heil Hitler,” salute. Any time this was performed in the film, the issue at hand was forgotten as everyone went and saluted. It is as if they are brainwashed and when something goes bad, all they have to do is salute and act as if the problem doesn’t exist anymore. They act as if the salute is a magical spell that will solve their problems for the German regime.
