me too! and what's with that "superman" reference when superman first appeared in 1938? i wonder why they never bother to check things like that in "historical" movies.

I wouldn't say Hitler "adopted" Nietzsche. He may have interpreted him, as many have and continue to. But Hitler's interpretation of Nietzsche (if there was one; it's popular to place philosophers into the lives of dictators)), as you may guess, was outrageous. So are all popular interpretations of the "superman." And this is significant input. I mean, the extent to which facile simpletons have turned Nietzsche's "super man" into a cliche that represents all that is good, or positive, is outrageous. The super man is supposed to be beyond good and evil, beyond friends and enemies. One who is superior is not thought to obey any notion of morality, being beyond all such logic, being beyond the human community.

I don't believe this was supposed to be a "historically accurate" film. It was, in my opinion, a "what if" so to speak...it wasn't necessarily about the time period, because this period in time never really existed in the first place. It was more of a representation of "what if" Hitler had become an artist, what could he have influenced...what, other than the Holocaust, would have turned out differently. It wasn't about time, or props, it was the story that was important.

Perhaps not a set stuff up, but showing how these ideas and movements are universal, it could transcend historical setting and enter the future or the present.
