84BDsop Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Yup. As Sam said, fantastic portrayal. He really nailed the whole "don't play a villain like a monster, play a villain like a human being" concept. Showing Hitler's vulnerabilities made him even scarier, because you can understand how easy it is for someone who is mentally unbalanced to climb to a position of power, and then control others under them. There was some controversy about that..."do we portray the monster as a human being?" But to truly be effective in telling the story, you HAVE to...especially with this subject matter...the better to illustrate the depravity and horror of what he was.

Tanda Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 This was too funny! :thumbup: On the other hand my son who is a big BD fan did not think it was funny at all and yelled at me for laughing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my daughter lived in China this past year she went to a Mao museum in Dalian. There were a bunch of wax figures of various historical characters in rather odd positions. One showed Hitler smiling and playing pool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Ream Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Is this a corpsband production? We'll need to know that for our attorneys! BD Staff P.S. We had no idea that the little paper-hanging SOB was a Drum Corps fan! Imagine our surprise. I mean the Nuremburg rallies were pretty spectacular, but I don't recall Goebbels having them do rotating boxes, or even sit in chairs....why? Because they couldn't. Sure they could roll over Poland in a week, but their #### company fronts looked like a frickin' Blitzkrieg! And you think people die in a Phantom show? ... mere child's play,,,,,just wait til' this bunch gets a hold of the DM! ..... and their Um Pa bands couldn't march 160BPM to save their ###. .......and don't get us started on the props....that little band of Duetsche Merry Men were one giant prop from Brussels to Budapest! And in closing.....although we are shocked and a bit stupified by this production....we feel it deserves a..... heil five! Lawyer up! You'll need it! well hey, at least Hitlers army marched' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How tiring it must be to play on a board full of such neanderthals, eh? (minus me, of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corpsband Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) You mean Hitler actually had the facial muscles to smile? Who knew... Not me. I don't think I've ever seen photos of him smiling. More googling... Apparently someone really cracked a funny joke.
