The fact that the _Downfall_ producers didn't buy Youtube ads to pop up when the parodies were played just shows how stupid they are. I mean really! How else is a movie about Hitler, in German (!), going to get worldwide mindshare? Just goes to show all the luddite media knuckleheads aren't in Hollywood...


Buy ? They should have just asked to be given those slots for free in return for not asking to have the content taken down. Win-win.


Except of course that the content is fair use and the company has no right to issue a take down.


Why is it so surprising that a German movie on the last days of a German historical figure be shot in German ?

A majority of the worldwide mindshare you are referring to do not think in English. Yet they do watch Hollywood movies in English...with subtitles.


No it's surprising that it has international mindshare. .
