Springtime For Hitler

Mel Brooks.

What is so special about this guy?
He is one extraordinary guy, who creates a satire or parody by using his own wit.

Let me introduce you about him briefly, he is born as Melvin Kaminsky in Brooklyn, New York. Born as a jew, which comes from a German descendant and Ukraine, he believes in using public humiliation than using words. By making a parody, he can humiliate people according to his own way of view and thinking.  He made us think, whether to hate or love. He has created a medium where people could see his world as if his views and his own way of thinking.

Rather than being an outspoken person such as Michel Foucoult in expressing himself and a person who avoid risk, Mel Brooks believes in being outspoken in drama or a play where he can use it to the fullest on humiliating people.

One of his famous act is Springtime for Hitler.


As we all know, Hitler is a subject of hatred by Jews. Hitler being described in this movie of ' The Producer' as a sissy who is afraid of himself, full of low self-esteem and Mel Brooks uses this as his own way of describing Hitler. In making satire of Hitler, he satisfy himself in being outspoken in this act. His fake smiling is a disguise.

Mel Brooks. Top of the world with his beliefs. ' The Producer' wins Academy Award for Best Original Screenwriter.
