Hi,my name is Wolfgang M. Schmitt. I am an ideology critic and film critic from Germany. On this channel I will analyze a popular film every week in an ideology-critical way. In addition, I will draw on philosophical, political, psychoanalytic and sociological theories. Like the famous German film critic Siegfried Kracauer said: "Films are a mirror of society". I would be happy if you would like to look into this mirror with me.
Wolfgang M. Schmitt hosts The Film Analysis, a tv show with 20 episodes published.

Show notesHelp! Unfortunately, this series has no end! Vin Diesel as Dom Toretto must once again defend the family, he is supported by many colleagues who also can not act. "Fast & Furious 10" ("Fast X") is a makeshift continuatio
Show notesThis time Denzel Washington as Robert McCall roams the alleys of an Italian coastal town to hunt down villains. The members of the Camorra seem like caricatures and at the same time like embodiments of absolute evil. Opp
Show notesStanley Kubrick is a solitaire in film history. His works are enigmatic, they stand on their own and elude any current references. With "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Love the Bomb" (#DrStrangelove), however, thin
Show notesWithout a doubt, "Dirty Dancing" is one of the most popular films ever among a primarily female audience. But this success is based on a misconception. Even if female viewers hang languidly in front of the TV on girls' n

Show notesLars von Trier is one of the great exceptional directors of our time. His works cause controversy time and again. His person stands for scandal made flesh. It almost seems as if this media (re)presentation has settled ov
Show notesGordon Gecko was not the first to establish neoliberal ideology in cinema. It was Joel Goodsen, the main character played by Tom Cruise in "Risky Business" by Paul Brickman. In this 1983 film, a teenager becomes an entre
Show notesTwo acting giants meet for the first time: Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino bring Michael Mann together on the screen in this neo-noir thriller - the first duel is talking, the second is shooting. "Heat" is one of the most im
Show notesIs "Peal Harbor" by #MichaelBay primarily a #war movie or a #love movie? And if it is a love movie, we should also ask: Who actually loves whom here? With this blockbuster, Michael Bay and producer Jerry Bruckheimer want
Show notesDavid Lynch is the great maverick of U.S. cinema: His films are in some ways part of Hollywood's tradition, but at the same time they make a disturbing break with it. This is particularly visible in the 1986 classic "Blu
Show notes„Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark" was released in 1981. The material was developed by "Star Wars" creator George Lucas, but director Steven Spielberg implemented the idea, which said goodbye to New Hollywood and m
Show notesWith "Oppenheimer", Christopher Nolan presents a biopic that sets standards. This film vibrates for 181 minutes to show the multi-faceted figure of J. Robert Oppenheimer from several perspectives. Nolan jumps wildly back
Show notes"American Beauty" by Sam Mendes from 1999 is already a modern classic. The film drama, which won five Oscars, has even found its way into school lessons and is considered one of the best films. Wolfgang M. Schmitt takes
Show notesWe have to think of Christopher Nolan as a lucky man, because he has achieved something tremendously rare in Hollywood: He has made himself independent of the whims and fashions of the culture industry, which primarily w
Show notesDiscussions about trigger warnings recur weekly. Is it paternalism? Well-intentioned? Or silly? There is a lot of confusion here: the trigger warning is actually a communicative tool to announce potentially stressful or
Show notesConspiracy theories are currently more popular than ever, often based on a world view, as we can see in Peter Weir's cult film "The Truman Show": It is assumed that everything is controlled by one person - currently, var
Show notesPaul Thomas Anderson has asserted in various interviews that his great film "There Will Be Blood" is not a story about capitalism, but is instead about archaic forces, about man against man. The film is also not to be un
