Why are the Nazis always portrayed as the bad guys in films?
I'm not trolling but I'm genuinely curious about this since filmmaking is about art and expression and yet almost all films about the Nazis are portrayed in a negative light, with the exception of Das Boot (1981) which in my opinion has a somewhat neutral ground in its stance.
It could be said that history is written by the winners but then why does Hollywood still produce Vietnam War films in their perspective?
There's a scene in Das Boot where the MC is spat on for being in the party. Also you question is answered simply. The descendents of the victims of Nazi policy are making the flicks. The fag who made Come and See based it on his childhood.
Back to Zig Forums.
why does this guys face always look kind of not real?
I keep seeing clips of this movie with that guy and I swear he looks like a deepfake.
Am I losing my fucking mind?
The ZOG doesn't want media to portray the last greatest heroes who fought agains the new world order as the good guys.
>Das Boot
>Nazis
lmao user the crew literally hate and make fun of the Nazi officer
Pitch me one movie idea where nazis are not evil and the movie's aim is not to legitimize or justify current-day nazis. I'm okay with portraying nazis in a different view unless it's to mend modern nazis' fee-fees.
take the meds, american
make up and a legitimately great performance
>Why are the Nazis always portrayed as the bad guys in films?
Because history is written by the winners.
Its an accepted fact that many nazi did not believe in what they were doing and were not the evil elitists you always see them portrayed as.
There's a great scene in Saving Private Ryan where a nazi is literally digging his own grave and begging for his life.
>t-take y-your meds
keep in mind user, Come and See isn't about the acts of regular ole Nazis, not even the regular SS
it's specifically about the acts of dirlegang
There's been plenty of movies where individual Germans or groups of them have been depicted sympathetically, the most famous being Schindler's List. If you're asking why there's more movies depicting Germans as 'bad guys' than 'good guys' well that'd be the result of them, as a nation, having done a shit load more bad stuff during the war than good stuff, whether you're talking about the Nazi party, organisations like the SS or the Wehrmacht as a whole.
If you're asking why there haven't been any movies presenting the Nazis party as a whole or German policy during WW2 as somehow justified then I'm going to call bullshit on your "I'm not trolling" claim.
the inglorious bastards scene where the captain/general refuses to betray his comrades by giving away their positions to me shows humanity within the german army, but it's not really specific to nazism. i thought that guy stole the show of that scene, huge courage and loyalty shown in the face of barbarism, great acting.
Not OP but I think the complaint is less "why aren't they portraying the nazis as the good guys" but more on the issue that there aren't any films depicting them as just regular soldiers which is exactly what most of them were. Stalingrad and Unsere Mutter Unsere Vater are the only two I can think of that don't actively portray Wehrmacht soldiers as baby killing jew eaters
So you are saying first hand accounts are why nazis are never the good guys in movies? What a wild concept.
Nazis aren't regular soldiers, Wehrmacht are.
yes, take them, you americans need them
NSDAP(nazi party) is a political party, not a fighting force.
an even better scene like that is in Come and See
Ask yourself this. Why aren't the orcs depicted as just soldiers of Sauron? Because the point of movies is to tell a story. And the "good defeats evil" storyline is something that just works, as it always has ever since the dawn of storytelling. You should watch some historic documentaries if you want people portrayed as human.
>When the villain is giving his speech and it's low key making a lot of sense.
It's because they did inhumane things to people.
Jews run the movie business dumbass this isn’t some “conspiracy” they literally say it themselves
Which are all false and retarded. The entire reason why people actually think nazis made lampshades and soap out of jews is because someone said that this is what this guy would have done.
Guy got character assassinated because he was ugly.
One guy says that this guy made a woman into soap and it not only gets accepted as fact but now all nazis did it and if you question it you are a nazi yourself.
Fuck all you ''people.'' Literally nothing you say should be accepted and it should be considered false just because it's said by you.
Why are germans and russians so evil?
Excess of makeup
This is like asking why Arab movies always portray the Israelis as evil
The Sinking of the Laconia
yeah man Dirlewanger was actually a nice chap, there are no records of him being in prison before the war, no official records of his acts by the SS from the war itself and no records of him in 1943 Belarus at all, it's all totally made up and he was a good friend
>Stalingrad and Unsere Mutter Unsere Vater are the only two I can think of that don't actively portray Wehrmacht soldiers as baby killing jew eaters
Think harder.
Even shit like Saving Private Ryan has most of the Germans just act like regular soldiers. If anything the 'Clean Wehrmacht' myth has been thoroughly adopted by Hollywood and acts of barbarity against civilians are often restricted specifically to SS personnel or secret police, when in reality the Heer in particular was just as blood-soaked as an organisation when it came to its conduct in Eastern Europe.
Correct. Fuck SJW retards.
>Why are the Nazis always portrayed as the bad guys in films?
A few reasons. First, Hollywood is in the West, which fought against national socialism. Totalitarian regimes and dictatorships will naturally be portrayed as awful in a liberal democratic area. Second, the war was basically the world versus Germany, which means it is easier to market a war film if it shows the fighters of the vast majority of the world as the protagonists. This also means that English speaking audiences will be more likely to watch a movie from an English perspective, and in this case, the Russians watching the Russian perspective. People are interested in their history, this is what causes American boomers to be fascinated by the Civil War. Third, considering the actions of the Hitlerian regime it makes sense. You wouldn't portray another totalitarian and violent regime like the Bolsheviks positively either. It makes sense to, I don't know why you had to ask this.
>soap and lampshades
I see this repeated far, far more by hysterical naziboos than I ever have from any other group, despite it supposedly being "accepted as fact".
