Trump University : Doctoral Dissertation regarding Hollywood's "King Adolph" Trilogy (62.5% of Marks)
Adolph Hitler (1889 - 1937) is perhaps best remembered in the Hollywood series of films from 1941 to 1945. He was a German Gangster that nearly brought the German Monarchy to its knees. At the time he was regarded as somewhat of a "Robin Hood" figure that ensured the German poor shared in the Riches of the German Empire which we now know as Federal Germany.
The truth is hardly nuanced. During his "Reign" over 14% of German GDP found its hand into the sinister mastermind that was Adolph Hitler or "Der Fuhrer" as he was popularly known. In reality he was a ruthless mastermind who almost brought Germany to a disastrous war against its old enemies France and England.
However this piece does not concern itself with the rights and wrong of World Affairs, but orients on the Hollywood Trilogy concerning his actions. At the time the United States needed an anti hero against the imperial ambitions of the Kaiser's Germany who had taken Western Europe and threatened the British Isles.
I will argue that the films were driven by American imperialism in that the vast infringement of US patents displayed by Imperial Germany were not going to be ignored by their originators.
The King Adolph Gangster films set a new bar for Hollywood: for sympathy with the evil protagonist that has become the defining milieu for our civilized society.
I will further argue that "Fat Hermann" represents the greatest comic villain since Shakespeare's Falstaff.
I will take you through the Film Script and annotate my own insights into what today still stands as one of the greatest trilogies.
