The script sounds stupid to me. Cusack is a good actor but not a good thinker. He used to be a big admirer of Noam Chomsky--I don't know whether he still is. It seems to me that these movies (like American History X) which attempt to "understand" fascists always end up falsifying the material because fascists tend to be just stupid, at least insofar as their fascism is concerned.

This film seems to have little to do with reality. I think I'll just go dig out the recently declassified OSS psychoananysis of Hitler, which looks at his formative years in some detail.
