... it means a Austrian film of the year 1924, based on a novel by Hugo Bettauer. The film was on 10 October 2008 in the course of the expansion of the DVD collection "The Austrian film - The Standard Edition" of 100 to 125 DVD's first published image on disk.
The film, a shockingly accurate vision of the satirical reconnaissance Hugo Bettauer is in Vienna in the early '20s, a time when Austria was among the consequences of war such as inflation and unemployment suffered. At the same time the Jewish population of the city increased during the war by Jewish refugees from pogroms in Russia that Austria-Hungary (temporarily) conquered territories to tens of thousands to around 180,000 to 200,000. Anti-Semitism also knew with the poverty-stricken Jews swear to new prejudices and saw no contradiction with the prejudices of the "rich, exploitative Jews".
Thus were the Jews as industrialists, bankers and stock speculators to both the consequences of war such as inflation and the currency crisis of guilt, but at the same time they may be unwanted "Scum", tried before to distance himself even the "Western Jews" (that is assimilated Viennese Jews, which is demarcated in the course of Jewish emancipation, more and more of their own religion) (but they nonetheless with many created specifically for charities supported).
falls during this time of connection longing, Germano and therefore anti-Semitism in 1922 and published book, published in 1924 film, a bashful poor copy of the book. The film was made of "consideration" to the extremely fragile situation of the country "Vienna" to "Utopia" and renamed the whole story at all demoted to a "dream" of an anti-Semite "for Happiness "does not occur Nevertheless, the -. Bulging - Cinemas in parts of the room in Vienna popular target for illegal Nazis, who came with stink bombs and other disruptive actions appear to In the USA, where the film would also appear, was the film. . approved as a supposed anti-Semitic piece of work from "in view of the sensitivity of the religions" is not performed Meanwhile, in 1925 because of his beliefs by anti-Semites already long the hostility Hugo Bettauer target of a Nazi attack (parallelism of the 20 years after the war: the Nazi perpetrator was acquitted -. de facto, at least after a briefing because of "insanity" He was released after 2 years without any further requirements from the hospital - after the "rehabilitation" of all the Nazis in Austria by the state in 1948 came ebenfals practically not a single conviction of a Nazi war criminal more).
The film slowed down, the contents of the book (which raised the way, as little serious claim, but was intended as satirical comments on current events) was playing, is despite all the weaknesses and Accidental confirmation of anti-Semitic stereotypes (Example 1: the crucial contribution to the happy ending of the film - the return of Jews to Vienna - provided by a disguised as a Frenchman, a Jew, which prevents the casting vote of a deputy, calling him with wine (with Hans Moser, who plays these Members absolutely credible) and sleeping pills is out of action; Example 2: the country will get no more loans from abroad, there are obviously Jewish boycott of all banks and the country) that the ultimate in the right light, as the representation of the expulsion of the Jews - here are mainly simple and poor people - really a tragic event as a serious separation from home and country - namely Austria - represented a now separated from her (Jewish) Man (Christian) woman with the suicide risk, parents separated from children, old and disabled people will be driven by force of soldiers, etc. .. So no trace of trivialization.
Despite all the tragedy of the story - the happy ending of the film is still missing it and is on the DVD playing only as text - now three rather amusing little "GIF" snippets from the film, including the expressionist scene in the mental hospital with the flashing stars Jews and the "nightmare" scene, in the singing and clapping Jews as spirits are positioned around the bed.
... unfortunately, the gifs do not play like I know grad: - /
therefore follow the links to the respective Gif:
1) newspaper reading
2) Jewish star paranoia
3) hallucination during sleep
