!!!NEW REVIEW!!!
while mostly known in the public conscious now for its shock value, there is something to be said about the effectiveness of The Ducktators--comedic or effectiveness in propaganda--in that it still makes the rounds 82 years later. through its cinematic grandiosity, sharp humor, self indulgence, and directorial confidence, it's safe to call Ducktators Norm McCabe's sharpest film. a praise he would probably hate, given that he showed clear discomfort with his films later on in his life. as inferred through the title, the short burlesques the rise of the Axis powers and enforces a powerful but resounding message that is still as relevant today as it was in 1942: Hitler sucks.
#i'm sure this goes without saying but warning for the obvious Japanese racism and of course Nazi imagery#it is LATE and this was a big one so i may reblog again tomorrow#glad to have it under my belt though. and let me reiterate that Mike Maltese is the best possible casting for Gooselini. 10/10#lt#looney tunes#the ducktators#norm mccabe#nazism tw#nazi imagery#mccabe
