Gitler kaput!

I was unlucky enough to actually buy tickets to Hitler Kaput. A bit less than one hour of this was all I could stand. I know, I never finished it, but what I saw was more than enough for me to comprehend the awfulness of this picture.

Full of cheesy pop culture praising, horrible humor and dialogue, as well as failed attempts at parodizing popular western titles - this is one movie you should really.. really.. REALLY avoid.

If its some decent Russian comedy you're looking for, go grab Briliantovaya Ruka or Osobennosti Nazionalnoi Okhoty. Anything but this.

If you are not familiar with Russian pop culture you will not get anything out of this movie besides grotesque scenes of action and bizarre dialog. In reality this movie pays a great homage to the old soviet spy movies. Especially the cult spy series "twelve moments of spring", from which it borrows most of the characters. It is also relentlessly pokes in the most satirical way at todays new Moscow corporate Russia, by presenting it in the form of the third Reich. This movie is comedy genius. Great selection of actors, with some Russian comedy heavy weights. I struggle to see how anyone non Russian would get what the movie is about. But if you watch it, don't judge it as it is not made for the Western audience.

Well. This year we have seen one more "masterpiece". Before us "has pleased" - "Samyy best film" If the beginning was still more or less further it all became worse and worse and has ended with a crazy ending. There was an impression that script writers not so strained - having decided that the spectator and it will gobble up and have actually appeared are right. Such weak film, and after all has collected already more than 8 million dollars in hire. That is we in the future will be waited by following "masterpieces" Now a little about actor's game. Anna Semenovich it is simply awful, it is impossible time to look all at its huge bust... Derevyanko too looks not the good, but nevertheless it is better, than Semenovich. Other actors also not so tried.

Details are soooo great, awesome trash comedy movie.

Looking for Western analogies to "Gitler Kaput!" won't lead you further than to the latest silly parodies of "Meet the Spartans" sort. But in this case a parody ("Semnadtsat mgnoveniy vesny" (1973)) is just a skeleton, and the meat is Russian pop-culture, pop-music, popular jokes, all sorts of silly internet memes. So you don't have to be a cinephile to enjoy this movie like you do in Hollywood parodies' case. Just watch and listen like you do in circus. Busty beauties, special effects, acrobats in nazi uniform but incoherent in each and every detail - sorry if it's not your cup of tea. Don't expect too much from a trash comedy, which is a pretty new genre in Russia. One can only wonder if it matures in the years to come.
