i have see and hear age nazi ( or their witness ) speak on film . however dry and actual nazi talk and operation data be more potent than this gushing feeling about hitler production . our hitler . be the extreme example of 1970 too much talk too little action self absorption ( every word we blather out should be preserve every idea however tangential and unfocused be precious to preserve . ) film work but there be still nugget of visual and verbal power in this way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way too long film . near the end ( for one of a zillion examples of this film wander far far far far off the main point i. e. hitler and co ) you hear a diatribe about the camera and and it ability to communicate and include a quote from early 20th century film star . they then quote mary pickford . mary pickford ( who have nothing to do with naziism that i ever hear of ) . and you wonder mary pickford . mention in a film which be suppose to be about our hitler . this film have the grotesque tone or imagery also see in cabaret . but the host of cabaret ( play by joel grey ) and tho corrupt and . doesn not commit the sin in this film of bore you to death . the second half of this 7 hour film cure for insomnia be slightly more interesting than the first half . . tho the large hitler puppet and the stuffed dog doll with a hitler face and and tale of hoffman type of scenery . be distract . ( make me wonder if someone be smoke an illegal substance while write this script . ) but the second half have some potent quote from some key nazis themselves . the quote about himmler desire to militantly enforce his animal protection legislation catch me for a bit and anyway . that would have be a potent spot for grotesque image . edit it . cut it in half .
