Compatriotas, camaradas... Viva a Revolução
On saturday we went to see a movie about Hitler's last days in the bunker, I believe it has been translated into english as "The Fall". Amazing, go see it.
At the beggining of the movie it really impressed me how human Hitler is portraied, somehow, it never hit me that Hitler could be human... and how he was a straight edge vegetarian: did not drink, smoked or ate meat (at least I can fucking think???). Is pretty scary as I got the impression (from the movie only of course) that this real evil person was not, after all, a lunatic. He had a very well laid down plan, incredibly logical and really believed that he was doing the best for Germany and for the world. Totally wrong but completly rational. If he and Bush Jr. would stand side by side it would be pretty obvious that Bush is crazy one and Hitler was a very rational man.
And while on it just think about how similar the two of them are: both meaning the best for their countries and the world, both fighting a "hidden menace" and putting the blame on an ethnic group for internal problems down to creating concentration camps outside their nation where is easier to bend or totally shatter the conventional treatment of prisoners, fueling the internal economy through war expansion (if only Bush would be half the economist that Hitler was, we would be all dead by now), both with massive support from and uneducated population (and yes, I am saying that americans are uneducated), both using a homeland terrorist act as a way to start a war...Is scary! The main difference is that Bush's IQ can barely raise from the floor and Hitler's bodycount (for the time being) is much higher. Then again he started with a country that had nothing, let's see if Bush can do worse than him...
...and no, I won't make more political entries. What can I say, yesterday was 25 de Abril...

"Even Hitler Had A Girlfriend"
I still haven't found a girlfriend,
Though i've tried a lot.
So, can you help me please,
It's tougher than i thought.
The odds are pretty good,
but the goods are pretty odd.
Though at this point,
I'll take anything you've got.
I see this all the time,
Nice girls in love with jerks,
What could they be thinking?
Tell me how it works.
If i got some problems,
Well i wouldn't be the first.
But the ones I have in mind are even worse.
And even Hitler had a girlfriend,
Who he could always call,
That would always be there for him
In spite of all his faults
He was the worst guy ever.
reviled and despised,
Even Hitler had a girlfriend
So why can't I?
Why can't I?
Life is full of contradictions
Hard to understand
And for every happy woman,
There's a lonely man
Nixon had his puppy.
Charles Manson had his clan
God forbid that i get a girlfriend.
Even Hitler had a girlfriend
Who he could call his own,
To sweeten days of bitterness,
and feeling all alone
I'm not as bad as Hitler,
But that doesn't mean a thing,
Since they'd rather be with Hitler, more than me
I don't see, why they'd rather be with Hitler,
more than me.

Something to thing about...
interesting read...no comment
but yes, even hitler had a girlfriend...;)
Well, nice to see that it took Hitler to make Vidal come out of his lab...
Hey! Did you already finished your thesis?
i've been waiting for this movie to come out here for a while. i'm going to see it in may. i saw the preview, and it looks very good. The first time a german speaking actor (bruno ganz, who is swiss) is portraying hitler, on film.
