Who is playing young Hitler


Who is playing the young Hitler in the court scene and when he is yelling about the wheelbarrows and such, he sounds and looks just like Robert Carlyle but that can't be him he looks way to young just want to know for sure who this is driving me crazy.

Yes, it is indeed old Rumpelstiltskin himself. 

reply

Really? i know it looks like him and sounds like him especially his yelling and when he is vocal, but he looks so young and i couldn't find it credited anywhere for his part or whoever he is.

reply

Oh! lol, right ...

Okay, that's because his scenes in TGSNT are actually clips from: "Hitler: The Rise
of Evil
" TV mini-series (2003) where you can see him credited as, of course, Adolf
Hitler. Link below ...

Ok that makes a lot of sense thanks, cause i tried looking around and all i could find was links to him as Hitler in that.
Cheers dude now i can finally put that nagging question to sleep.

YW. 

Yeah, I started to watch that (Rise) but I dunno, it looks like it's probably going
to be pretty one-sided - especially with a title like "The Rise Of Evil" - maybe I'll
watch more of it some other time. I'd only just gotten to the point where AH has
volunteered to carry messages (WWI).

I thought the same ("What the HELL is Robert Carlyle doing in a Hitler paean that will end his career?"), then realised someone had ripped off myriad sources to put this together.

"Ripped off a myriad of sources", implies that he didn't provide credits. There is an entire section devoted to the credits, which could have been formatted better, but they WERE there.

Furthermore, this is essentially a 6 and a half hour YouTube documentary.

Everyone uses other sources and images to illustrate their point because they're working with virtually no budget. They are working their arses off with a pile of research, their computer, and their video editing software.

There are worse films (*cough* Zeitgeist *cough*), that rip off images without credit, and the actual "factual" credits (some which aren't factual at all) are predominantly theosophists. Nobody bats an eyelid.

I've also seen this done in GOOD youtube documentaries, with varying degrees of crediting, depending on whether the footage falls under a general "fair use" notice at the start.

It would have stayed a 6 and a half hour YouTube documentary, if the people there (and on Facebook, and Video, etc.) hadn't shat themselves and banhammered it.

As soon as I saw Liev Schreiber in one of the scenes I was like wtf, this is all stolen footage lol
