From: blp Category: Life Date: 07 April 2008 Time: 05:50 AM Review: The fact of its being virtually subliminal may be part of the point - as if he's sending the message straight to his people's unconscious: he is Hitler; or a complete cunt, which is not that different. For some reason, though, it also makes me think of him as the kind of tyrannical teacher who is both mocked and pitied. You wonder why the teacher leaves himself open to mockery by having, say, such an odd moustache/comb-over/taste in trousers. The whole point could be to counteract the hatred his tyranny will inevitably inspire with a sense of guilt about mocking him.
