Excellent observation, I always think so for an infinity of things. It is not to be believed this video, it seems very close to us on the contrary, today, it is closer you have made treated. It is time and our perception, to think that when it was projected in German cinemas it could be the elderly and mature men who had lived the Nazi ....
This rules! 😆 My best friend in college loved Mel Brooks and we used to crack up to his Hitler routines all the time. We had a falling out eventually and he totally ghosted me 90s style..lol..but I still love you baby!
We need a Mel Brooks biopic called Mr. Brooks. On the movie poster it should say He lived a wonderful life. He went to war. He became a comical legend. Or He went school, he went to war, now he is a comical legend.
@@Zakster44 the gag was originally used in the Producers but this was an updated version from about 20 years later. the original (much better) version: ua-cam.com/video/HPXHRX8Q2hs/v-deo.html
The women in this video are so beautiful the dance moves 3:17--3:25 are beyond sexy. It says something about Mel Brooks that with all the beautiful women in his films and the risque nature of some of them, no one ever accused him of abusing his power or going over the line...that speaks volumes of his character.
It does say something... Especially in this modern world where it seems like no politician can even be in the same room with a beautiful woman without starting a scandal.
Remember, this was made in 1968. Nobody was making movies with this kind of satire then: Brooks was really breaking the mold. He said that he felt the ultimate revenge against the Nazis was to laugh at them.
To Be or Not to Be is brooks remake of the 1940 jack Benny movie, which is far superior to this. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge brooks fan, but this movie is adequate at best.

The fact that he’s Jewish makes this even more funny! Side note: he’d never be able to get away with something like this now. Him or anybody Jewish or not
I dont understand how this wouldnt be PC? Nazis are my favorite joke target. The only people who complain are nazis, and I couldnt give a piss what they think
My point was the world has changed. Watch Springtime for Hitler. The original showed the swastika. Broadway did a modern version and the swastika was left off. You can't even make fun of nazis today. I guess I will take the advice from one reply below and just not care about pc today!
I think they messed up by showing Hitler right away. It would have been so much funnier watching this music video, not knowing what it's about, seeing all the girls say hi, and then seeing Hitler pop out for the first time at 0:28. It would have been very surprising. Opportunity lost.

For anyone who wouldn't know, this line is a callback to The Producers! (Mel Brooks' first credit as a director)

Das Video ist genial, meinst Du so etwas fällt bei uns noch unter Kunstfreiheit?

It says something about Mel Brooks that with all the beautiful women in his films and the risque nature of some of them, no one ever accused him of abusing his power or going over the line...that speaks volumes of his character.
Don't forget that he was desperately in love with his wife Anne Bancroft and stayed in love with her until the day she died.
He was accused of going over the line plenty of times. Almost entirely by people who missed the joke
It does say something... Especially in this modern world where it seems like no politician can even be in the same room with a beautiful woman without starting a scandal.
And the thing is, Brooks is objectively a handsome guy too, but you lose that with all the mugging he does for the camera.

Not revenge. Just a mockery. They were long defeated by then. There was nothing to avenge anymore.
