The Broken Jug, a Nazi Film?
I do think that there is a correlation between this film and the Nazi regime. I do think that Adam is a perefect example of the type of person that Hitler wanted to get rid of. He was definitely not the "Good German" that Hitler was trying to create, and the fact that Adam get's run out of town is parallel to Hitler trying to get rid of all the Jews, mentally ill, gypsies, etc. Adam, who is constantly drinking throughout the film is not only a drunk, but a horrible judge at that. At the begining of the film he is waking up late only to discover many gashes and bruises on his body. The representation of Adam being so unkempt is exactly opposite of how Hitler wants his german people to be. It makes sense that hitler would really like this film, because the loud, obnoxious, unkempt, drunk Adam is run out of town in the end, therefore the problem is solved. Ironically that is exactly what Hitler tries to do solve the problem of the Jews, through a more violent method.
