Adding Insult To Injury - More Brown / Coakley Fun
Folks,
Here's a little bit about the reaction to Brown's win in Massachusetts over Coakley:
You really gotta love the movie "Downfall." Aside from being an excellent movie in its own right, the film has proven an excellent canvas upon which any and all number of wonderful skits have been projected. The movie is in German and was subtitled in its US and UK release. That soon made its way into the digital realm and that, sure enough, fell quick prey to further digital manipulation. One scene in particular has become a boilerplate for a leader losing it totally.
In the movie, this scene depicts Hitler reacting to some particularly bad news as the Soviets close on Berlin and the German army being crushed before them. Hitler was living pretty much in a fantasy world by then and his tantrums at receiving any real world bad news that penetrated those fantasies are the stuff of legend. The ranting and raving and humiliating whining that follows has proven a wonderful thing to insert your own subtitles to. And thus there's been versions of the scene in which it is not Hitler raving about the Red Army and Josef Stalin but rather raving about his being banned from XBox Live, another about Brett Favre, one with Hitler raving about the iPad, to even having such a "mash up" where Hitler is ranting about all the mash ups using him ranting!
For the sake of clarity, here is the original clip with the original subtitles that started it all:
And here's a collection of further Hitler Downfall Rant Parodies on YouTube!
Gotta love it!
