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.
