RIP Bruno Ganz

You probably don't know his name, but his rants in all the "Downfall" parodies live on:

I've seen a 1/2 dozen of them but that ones new to me and LOL.

Those parodies will immortalize him.

I did a quick search. I found that there has been a fair amount of effort to stop them, using copyright rules.
And just as much effort to get around those rules.

The director of the original film is apparently ok with them. 

But there doesn't seem to be any indication of how Ganz himself felt.

There is a video interviewing him, asking about it.
But the video is in German. And it's subtitled. 

And it becomes evident, by the end, that the subtitles are not real.

That the video is...

 

A parody.

Epic.

I still like this one Hitler swooping rant

Back when I was still playing poker online, I saw the very first parody video, of Hitler getting banned from poker...

Man, I've seen so many parodies I've lost count.

Back when he was just wanting to learn to swoop.

I finally watched the scene with the correct subtitles. I am not sure if I could get as much out of a parody now that I actually know what he is saying, and know that what he is saying is not as crazy as it feels it is when you are just listening to the words. I feel I could finally appreciate the acting.
