New Rammstein music video - provocation or attempt to remind the history of Germany?
The media is actively discussing the first over the past few years, a clip of the German rock band Rammstein called Germany (Germany), which scored more than 2 million YouTube views in the first four hours.
The video, which lasts for 10 minutes, has acquired the status of scandalous, and this is not accidental. The thing is that at one of the frames of the clip, musicians led by the lead singer Till Lindemann stand against the background of the Nazi concentration camp in striped robes and are preparing for death.
In the opinion of many public and political figures in Germany itself, the Rammstein group went beyond what was permitted, as it used the "inhumanity of the Holocaust and the suffering of millions of people" for promotional purposes and in order to chase the sensation.
According to one of the leading PolitRussia.com, the clip and song are the most powerful provocation that will cause hatred from both right and left forces in Germany. He examines this video in detail from the point of view of political, historical and social contexts and tries to answer the question: “What did the authors want to say with this epic clip called Deutschland?”
One may reproach Rammstein for provocations, however, usually those people who either did not watch the clip from beginning to end, or did not hear the translation of the words of his text, do it, or even make their own judgments using fragmentary data from the Web. The clip actually represents actually history Germany, in which there was much. - Even not so much the story itself, how many attempt to remind it of the living generations of Germans. Or is it different?
By the way, in the same clip there is an episode when prisoners of the concentration camp shoot their executioners. For some reason, this episode is said less.
