so i guess the last scene...
was a warning about the rise of Neo-Nazism in Germany?
shareThis movie is based on a true story, the court ruling was not made up.
Delusional ideas of striking back, somehow, sometimes, using yet another wunderwaffe were not uncommon during the last months of the war.
If you found this scene unsettling, try "Murer - Anatomy of a Trial".
The ending of "Look Who's Back" is a direct message to Neo-Nazism in Germany, if you're looking for one ;)
the last was in modern day germany.
shareThe last one was in a German court in 1945, then a text describes how he got captured by the British, put on trial and got executed.
Did I miss a post-credits scene?
post credits
shareYou're right, during the credits, they show him patrolling in modern day Germany. I'd interpret it as a demonstration of what a small group of determined people in uniforms can do. Would fit the general message about the corruption of power.
As a nod to modern day movements - it's not just any random German city, it's Görlitz in Saxony - the subtext is undeniably there.
