j_jza80 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 'Downfall' parody clips being removed Wed 21 Apr 11:38 AM YouTube has started to remove popular Hitler parodies of the German film ‘Downfall’, which chronicles the last days of the Nazi dictator, over a copyright issue. The 2004 drama features a scene in which Bruno Ganz as Hitler rants in his Berlin bunker about his army’s failure to repel a Russian attack on the city. But it has led to a series of parodies, with users inserting new subtitles in the clip. ADVERTISEMENT There are around 70 comedy versions of the scene, with one of the more famous ones seeing Hitler bemoan his inability to access X-Box LIVE, while another finds him disgusted at how poor the eagerly-awaited ‘Avatar’ trailer was. Despite the film’s director Oliver Hirschbiegel conceding that he enjoys the parodies, Constantin Film has demanded that video sharing sites remove the clips. http://uk.movies.yahoo.com/21042010/5/downfall-parody-clips-removed-0.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
