Hi,
my name is Wolfgang M. Schmitt. I am an ideology critic and film critic from Germany. On this channel I will analyze a popular film every week in an ideology-critical way. In addition, I will draw on philosophical, political, psychoanalytic and sociological theories. Like the famous German film critic Siegfried Kracauer said: "Films are a mirror of society". I would be happy if you would like to look into this mirror with me.
Please subscribe to my channel and recommend my videos on social media.

Why BECOMING KARL LAGERFELD fails – Review & Analysis
Disney+ is showing a series about Germany's most famous fashion designer: ‘Becoming Karl Lagerfeld’ focuses on the 1970s, when Lagerfeld was already designing women's fashion for Chloé and Fendi, but the realm of Parisian haute couture remained closed to him. Yves Saint Laurent and his patron and partner Pierre Bergé reigned there. Ambitious and ruthless with himself and others, Lagerfeld worked on his rise. Meanwhile, he also meets the love of his life: the aristocratic bon vivant Jacques de Bascher, who will gradually destroy himself. The love will not become physical, which jazzes up the series into an oversized problem. What's more, ‘Becoming Karl Lagerfeld’ constantly adopts a Liesch...

MAY DECEMBER - The most intelligent film of the year! - Review & Analysis
Просмотров 5962 месяца назад
Todd Haynes is a master of sophisticated melodrama that radically questions our perception and understanding of truth. In "May December", Natalie Portman plays the actress Elizabeth, who is faced with a special domestic challenge: she is to play a woman who had a relationship with a 13-year-old boy in her mid-thirties, became pregnant by him, went to prison and later married him and started a f...
What and how we desire: CHALLENGERS - Review & Analysis
Просмотров 5672 месяца назад
After ‘Call Me By Your Name’ and ‘Bones and All’, Luca Guadagnino is bringing another film to cinemas that deals with our desires. ‘Challengers - Rivals’ is very different to the previous films. It is not a romantic film, but an almost cynical study of the structure of desire. Friends Art and Patrick, played by Mike Faist and Josh O'Connor, become bitter rivals when they meet Tashi (Zendaya). B...
Who are we? THE SEARCHERS by John Ford - Review & Analysis
Просмотров 8213 месяца назад
Who are we? Is there such a thing as national or cultural identity? Who does our seemingly open society exclude? How much Donald Trump is there in John Wayne? And have those who constantly talk about anti-Americanism ever studied John Ford? "The Searchers" or "The Black Falcon" is the film of the moment and at the same time one of the most important works in the entire history of film. In it, J...
CIVIL WAR and Alex Garland's Philosophy on Photography - Review & Analysis
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.4 месяца назад
After ‘Men’, ‘Ex machina’ and ‘Devs’, Alex Garland takes a completely different path: ‘Civil War’ is a war film and a road movie - however, the story is not set in a country that is already shaken by civil wars, but the action takes place in the USA in the near future. The president is in his third term of office and a bloody battle is raging outside, in which Texas and California, of all place...
Election advertising for Trump: THE BEEKEEPER - Review & Analysis
Просмотров 8644 месяца назад
David Ayer is a director known for his lack of taste. It should come as no surprise that his films are also very popular with right-wing audiences. Now, however, Ayer has gone one step further with "The Beekeeper", in which he has made an almost two-hour long campaign ad for Donald Trump. Jason Statham plays the role of a vengeful beekeeper who not only wants to take down an online fraudster an...
The Anti-Dune-Movie: KUNG FU PANDA 4 - Review & Analysis
Просмотров 7895 месяцев назад
The successful "Kung Fu Panda" series, which began back in 2008, has another instalment: in part 4, Panda Po has to make friends with a new career prospect. Master Shifu has set higher tasks for Po: He is no longer to be a dragon warrior, but is to become the spiritual leader of the entire valley. Po is not at all enthusiastic about this at first, as he is popular with the people as a dragon wa...
The ideology of charismatic leaders: DUNE PART TWO - Review & Analysis
Просмотров 2,2 тыс.5 месяцев назад
Denis Villeneuve is back with some truly impressive images: "Dune: Part Two" is a monumental film that largely rejects the usual blockbuster spectacle and instead reflects almost contemplatively on power and domination in places. This long-awaited film is therefore a multi-layered commentary on our (geopolitical) present, in which the voices of reason are barely heard. Villeneuve leads us to a ...
The banned Disney film: SONG OF THE SOUTH

When the Disneyplus streaming portal is available all over the world, all of the studio's classic films that have already been removed from competing platforms will be available to watch. However, one film, as is already apparent in the USA, will be missing: "Song Of The South". The film was released in 1946, cartoon characters meet actors in it, the technical innovations are enormous - and the...
Unfortunately the movie of the hour: REBEL MOON Part 1 - A Child of Fire - Review & Analysis
Просмотров 8187 месяцев назад
"Rebel Moon - Part 1: A Child of Fire" is the name of Zack Snyder's new film, which has been high up in the Netflix charts for a few weeks now. Snyder would actually have liked to have made a "Star Wars" film that was dramaturgically based on the "Seven Samurai". However, as George Lucas once refused to allow this, the director of "300" and "Justice League" has now produced fan fiction that fea...

The Best Western: HATARI! - Review & Analysis
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.7 месяцев назад
Howard Hawks is undoubtedly one of the most important representatives of Classical Hollywood and "Hatari!" from 1962 is a highlight in his filmography. Almost an idyll, with great landscape shots and stars such as John Wayne and Hardy Krüger, but it should by no means be received as apolitical. "Hatari!" - which could be described as the most beautiful western of all time - is undoubtedly one o...
Disney and the Ideology of Meritocracy: WISH - Review & Analysis
Просмотров 7708 месяцев назад
Disney wants to make wishes come true - and has been doing so for 100 years. The anniversary is to be celebrated with "Wish", which is the 62nd entry in the so-called Masterpieces series. However, it is doubtful that this animated film will be a big hit at the box office, as the story is told in an awkward way, the songs are hardly worth mentioning and aesthetically it is based a little on the ...
Great Men or NPCs? Ridley Scott’s NAPOLEON & David Fincher’s THE KILLER
Просмотров 8358 месяцев назад
Neither film is good, but they have an interesting relationship with each other. In "Napoleon" by Ridley Scott, Joaquin Phoenix slips into the role of the great statesman who wanted to help France achieve new greatness. In "The Killer" by David Fincher, Michael Fassbender plays a contract killer who earns a lot of money by quietly going about his job, covering his tracks and not getting too emo...

Cinema of Authenticity: MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 7: Dead Reckoning - Review & Analysis
is this a parody?
Great analysis, I really liked your points. Most videos I've seen on Salo so far have been vapid plot summaries. Your point on the quantification and demand for detail was great.
How many of you guys would wife a girl like Jenny, seriously? She was already living a promiscuous lifestyle by the time she finally hooked up with Gump. Obviously he wasn't wearing protection, so who's to say she didn't leave him a little something extra other than the kid, which BTW she kept from him all that time until she finally realised she was dying. I have no doubt that he really loved her. But then again he was autistic and probably didn't know better, very much unlike Jenny ofc.
Klasse
i farted into hat.
Brudi zieh die Cap runter! So langsam hab ich das Gefühl die Türkish Hairlines haben komplett verkackt! Aber nice Analyse mal wieder, echt ein heftiger Banger und so!.
Warum, was ist dein Problem damit?
I really hope those caps are not just a red herring, and that the ultimate reveal of whatever wolfie is hiding under there will be glorious!
At one point he'll take it off and Lacan, Adorno and Zizek jump out of it, like from a clowncar, as special guests

Bis jetzt die beste Serie des Jahres
Ach du bist so ein Eierkopf
For the longest time, I couldn’t understand why I hated this film and everyone else loved it. And then I realized oh I’m surrounded by idiots now it makes sense.
Forrest Gump is a dumbed down ripoff of Being There.
This was a great review. The only thing missing is an analysis of the involvement of race. It may not have the same effect in Germany, but here in the US, white Americans love to use movies like this to deny racism is the cause of racial inequalities and Hollywood loves to make these movies to push that narrative. They say,"look at Chris Gardner. It's not racism; all those other black people just don't work hard enough."
"Frenzy" has a bit of nudity in it.
Extremely interesting thoughts, Sir. I think what you have here is a homily on this film as found object. You surely don't believe Hitchcock was making such statements through The Birds -- or anything else philosophical? If you do, great, and who can say you're wrong.
The answer is saxophone - who are we? Lonely saxophones. (monster 2023 movie as well) Corruption within the public square
Excellent video. I have been greatly enjoying your channel. If you are open to films to analyze may I suggest, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Classic film. While there are many anaylisis videos on youtubeof that film I feel you would provide a unique option.
Great essay, thank you
Definitely " VERTIGO " ❤NUMBER 1 FILM IN HISTORY 👍
I think this would be to easy. What's about the beggers and why didn't the fox eat itself entirly and stole the guns?
It makes me so happy to see someone breakdown the failures of this movie. I feel like I've been gaslit my whole life from people endlessly praising this movie.
I'll just hate you instead. 😊
Personally, it has always puzzled me how high this movie has been regarded. I find it terribly overrated.
You couldn't be more wrong.
@@chrissantos1877 i know im wrong for calling it "mid, pretty ok i guess". I know there is so.ething im missing, but what?
Plausibility kills it. Like many of Hitch's films. But he was an expert at getting us to suspend our beliefs. SPOILERS: Expecting us to believe a guy would pre-arrange the strangling of his wife atop a bell tower in public, throw her off, screaming. And then walk back down the stairwell and walk away, all WITH your accomplice, completely un-noticed by anyone? Relying on a nervous breakdown is a lot to invest in.
I thought der Ewige Jude was a good doc
Beautifully rendered, as usual, sir.
Excellent as always😌
No one tops german sarcasm, imo. German or whatever this guy is. Cheers!
very good analysis
you're insufferable
brilliant as always
Germans have never been able to draw the line between good and evil.
Keep up the good work Wolfgang
Just discovered your channel. Wonderfully analytical and erudite. Thank you so very much. And your suits - gosh. Best wishes from Taiwan.
I loved the opening. Then it all fell apart. It pandered to the very stereotypes and injustices it was trying to malign.
Thank you for affirming that I was not insane for hating this film.
Very good.
Your video is really great.But your video views are too less.Because your videos are not SEO properly. Your SEO score is only 31 out of 100 . If you optimize your video tag title SEO and other then your video will be ranked and more views and more subscribers. Thanks

When will you start wearing a hat?
Why don't you bring this in German?
It could be the most offensive Tom Hanks movie, if he hadn't make that one in which he glorifies the arming and training of the Mujaheddins in Afghanistan back in the 80's. That was quite something.
Life is like a box full of american propaganda
an excellent film, and a wonderfully ambiguous film - particularly for its time. thanks wolfie
Istanbul ist eine schöne Stadt.
A well-written, intelligent analysis! (Has made me want to re-watch The Searchers asap.)
no one gives a shit
I’m an English native speaker and I have been living in Germany for many years. German school system teaches English on the basis of grammar knowledge and written tests. Sadly there is no emphasis on spoken English and the teachers themselves cannot pronounce English correctly. To improve your pronunciation get yourself an English girlfriend who will correct all your mistakes or spend a month with an English speaking family. I still have a foreign accent when I speak German but I’m told it’s very mild and nobody can guess where I come from (Scotland). Find yourself a native speaker at your local university or somewhere and have some conversations. Alles gute aus Rheinland Pfalz…. Übung macht den Meister 😅
I cant follow this english delivery
thanks for the insight
And he did it.
