Downfall 2: Hitler Boogaloo (The Michael Moriartython Finale: Hitler Meets Christ)

Professor MoriartyAhem.

Professor MoriartyExcuse me?

Professor MoriartyHello?

What? Huh? Oh. You.

Professor Moriarty Yes, me.

Go away.

Professor Moriarty It’s just that–

Go away. I’m not doing it.

Professor Moriarty It’s just that I’ve been waiting out here since Thanksgiving. And it got very cold. And then hot. And it rained. Several times. And also you moved.

Any several of which you could have taken to indicate that I wasn’t going to do it and your services were no longer required.

Professor Moriarty Oh come along now. Your Michael Moriarty-thon was going so well! You were just about to review that domestic drama about divorce!

Michael Moriarty: Man of ACTION!Oh, yes, there’s comedy gold. A cheap knock-off of Kramer vs Kramer

Professor Moriarty And the one about the haunted high-rise! Or that one with Sonny Bono and the girl from Seinfeld!

Troll? Everyone and their brother’s reviewed Troll. It’s not even the really exciting one.

Professor Moriarty Yes, but Michael Moriarty plays a man named Harry Potter! Think of the jokes you could make.

I don’t care. I’m not doing it.

Professor Moriarty And then the big reveal at the end with me!

Yes, yes, I was going to review one last movie and then have it turn out that you, Professor MoriartyProfessor Moriarty, had found a way to channel energy from internet reviews about anyone else who was named “Moriarty”, and we’d have to fight and there would be a big climactic battle which would end with my house blowing up, this being the in-character explanation for why I moved.

Professor Moriarty It would have been fantastic!

It would have been a shameless rip-off of The Spoony Experiment. But it doesn’t matter now. I’m not doing it.

Professor Moriarty But why not?

This movie, man. This movie did it. I can’t go on, not with this movie in my way.

Professor Moriarty Bah! What could one single movie do that would break you so profoundly that you couldn’t continue on?

This movie, man. This movie. After this movie, there’s no horror you could unleash on me. This is it, man. This movie broke me.

Professor Moriarty No! I will not have it! I shall not be bested by a mere movie! Come! Show me this movie! It shall fall before my great intellect!

Your funeral, man. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Professor Moriarty What is this film that has you cowering in your underwear, wrapped in a security blanket?

Dude! You didn’t need to tell the audience that!

Anyway, so far in the Michael Moriartython, we’ve limited ourselves to Michael Moriarty’s acting roles. But what happens when you put a pen in his hand? The answer is three words that will strike a cold chill into the heart of the heartiest of men. You have been warned.

Hitler Meets Christ
Directed by Brendan Keown
Starring Wyatt Page
And Michael Moriarty as Hitler

Based on the play Hitler Meets Christ at the Port Authority Bus TerminalThe first thing you’ll notice about this movie is that it’s based on a play, with the somewhat more verbose title “Hitler Meets Christ at the Port Authority Bus Terminal”.

Professor Moriarty The second thing you’ll notice is that — Oh dear God, he also wrote the music? This is going to hurt, isn’t it?

I warned you. Now, you may be a little confused here as we fade in on the man of inaction, because this film was shot entirely in Black-and-White.

Professor Moriarty Oh, that’s a common trick when the filmmaker wants to seem “artsy”.

Except here, it’s actually foreshadowing, because this film is going to suck so hard on your will to live, that after it’s over, your entire life will seem bleak and gray as well.

Our.. Hero? Villain? Victim? I give up.But more seriously, I think maybe the reason it’s in black and white is because Michael Moriarty was harboring delusions that he could pass this movie off as a sequel to Schindler’s List.

Professor Moriarty Who’s this hobo? I thought you said that Moriarty was playing Hitler.

That’s Hitler. Hitler is depicted in this movie as a homeless person. That’s because in Canada, all homeless people are secretly the wandering spirits of twentieth-century fascists. The last time you were in Ontario, that guy in the plaid shirt you gave a cup of coffee to? Generalissimo Francisco Franco.

Hobo Hitler and a bored-looking middle aged gentleman are having a casual conversation about the pending end-of-days that feel very much like Michael Moriarty wrote this entire movie as a response to having read Waiting for Godot and thinking “You know what’s wrong with this play? Too subtle. I mean, why don’t they just come out and say that Godot is God?”

Professor Moriarty Why does Hitler have a terrible fake Bronx accent?

Just roll with it. At least Michael Moriarty isn’t doing his folksy southern drawl.

Hitler makes a big point of playfully saying “No” to Jesus over and over again, just to prove he can, then he gets distracted by incoherent whispering which I think is meant to be his conscience in his mind, but it is equally valid to assume it is the PA system in the bus terminal.

Outside, Hitler tells Jesus that he’d originally thought it was Jesus who had inspired him. Jesus is a little hurt — not that Hitler thought that, but that he’d stopped thinking that. Just because of that whole “defeat” thing. Jesus points out that taking over the world is a kind of outlandish plan.

Hitler insists that wanting to take over the world was a “lie, a fabrication, propaganda,” and that he didn’t really want to take over the world “not even the teeniest tiniest little bit,” (Hitler kind of babbles like a small child who has been dropped). “I simply wanted to give my country a little room, a little breathing space, and what do I get for it? Stuck in Vancouver with you.” Then he complains, “Why couldn’t it have been Einstein? I knew they’d send me a Jew, but why not a smart Jew like Marx?” Jesus throws in “Or a funny Jew like Marx!” Which is one of two intentional laughs you are liable to get out of this movie, so I hope you were paying attention. Hitler does a little bit of rhetorical gymnastics to make fun of Karl Marx, and ends with a little straight-up antisemitism, because we are getting dangerously close to depicting Hitler as a sort of mildly-amusing mildly-profound Cloud-cuckoolander type, the way homeless people with a mild mental illness are usually portrayed in movies when they’re main characters. And if you ever find yourself watching a movie about Hitler, and you find yourself going “Awww. He’s not so bad,” the filmmaker should just stop, and consider going into another profession, like anchor for Fox News.

Hitler salutesJesus explains about omnipresence, and how he’s not just hanging out in Vancouver with Hitler, but he’s also in Moscow and Berlin and Hell and Heaven. Hitler asks whether they are presently in Heaven or Hell, and Jesus says “both,” which Hitler doesn’t like, and goes on a rant against symbolism, which he punctuated with some Nazi salutes, followed by Even Hitler thinks you're a dick.giving Jesus the finger, Even Hitler thinks you're a dick.a bronx cheer, and Even Hitler thinks you're a dick.miming masturbation. He then does a funny dance, and falls down. I assume this scene is an homage to the “religion” scene in Wizards. He sits down next to Jesus on a park bench and releases I do have a picture, but at this rate, the entire review is just going to be a bunch of pictures of Hitler making rude gestures. Because that is a good 2/3 of the moviean enormous fart. Ladies and gentlemen, the greatest and most popular villain in human history!

Hitler then changes the subject to his own death. His ultimate revenge, he says, is that eventually, despite Jesus’s best laid plans, he will utterly cease to be, and then someone else will come along who is even worse, and people will forget all about him and stop using him as the measuring stick for human evil. Then church bells start ringing and he makes funny faces.

Funny faces

But Jesus notices and points out a hint of doubt in Hitler’s tone, and tells Hitler that this means that deep down, he knows that nothing in all of creation will ever be more evil than Nazis. Hitler insists otherwise, but Jesus just chuckles condescendingly.

Professor Moriarty I say, is this Michael Moriarty chap pro-Hitler?

Not in the slightest, from what I can tell

Professor Moriarty I mention, because this Hitler chap seems like rather a sad and tragic figure, while this Jesus fellow seems like a smug bastard.

Well, I’m given to understand that Jesus’s parents weren’t married, but still. The whole “Jesus is a smug git,” thing is actually a common theme among a certain segment of christians. They tend to be smug gits themselves, and are naturally drawn toward a perspective on Jesus that validates their own smug gittedness.

Back at a bus terminal, Hitler complains about how anyone who rides the bus is either unemployed or as close to it as makes no odds. And you should remember that the next time you poo-pooh public transit. If you think poorly of people who ride the bus, you’re thinking like Hitler.

Hitler suggests that Jesus give all the poor people a plane ticket to Rome, so they can hang out in the Vatican, but Jesus, who for predictable reasons shares the author’s view on the papacy, explains that the Vatican is not fond of Jesus, and never invites him round for tea. This gives Hitler pause for thought.

Jesus goes on to talk at some length about how much less attractive he and his mother are than they appear in the Pieta, having been working class peasants, and how angry she’d been at having her son nailed to a cross. Hitler thinks that being murderous with rage at having your child tortured and executed while a mocking crowd looks on is quite a reasonable response, but that’s because he’s evil. Jesus prefers Michaelangelo’s version. He also recounts how he was thrown out of St. Peter’s for trying to stay past closing time. Hitler suggests that it was that kind of respect for the rules, even in the face of tossing Jesus out of your basillica, that resulted in some of his best Nazis being Christians.

Jesus namechecks Dorothy Day, who once turned the whole ‘Render unto Caesar’ thing moot by saying “Once you’ve rendered unto God that which is God’s, there shouldn’t be anything left to render unto Caesar.” I’m frankly a little surprised, given Moriarty’s depiction of Jesus so far, that he’d namecheck a prominent christian communist like that.

See, back in the first half of the 20th century, it was starting to look like the christians were going to throw in with the communists, what with the whole “everyone is equal” stuff and the whole “Hey, wouldn’t it be nice if we didn’t exploit the hell out of the poor in order to create vast disparities of wealth,” thing. Fortunately for all of us, christians got past this, and found a way to interpret “Give everything you have to the poor or you’re going to hell,” to mean “Toss a buck in the collection plate every Sunday and it’s okay to vote against a living wage. It’s not like the poor deserve things like food and medicine. Fuck them. Fuck them hard.”

Again, Moriarty senses that he may have made Hitler a bit too sympathetic, and has Hitler start tossing the word “Faggot” around like it’s going out of style. Jesus attributes Hitler’s hate-filled ass-millnery to a lack of self-love. Hitler calls God a faggot. And then he takes a leak while Jesus watches and giggles.

Jesus is giggling because it’s Easter, not because he’s tickled by watching Hitler piss, he explains. Hitler finds six bucks on the street and uses it to buy a pack of smokes. Then, he explains that he only continues to exist so long as people remember him, and he is looking forward to people finally forgetting about him. Jesus says he’ll miss him. Hitler finds that unbelievable, and uses this as a segue to bitch about how much he hates Neo-Nazis, who he thinks are a bunch of whiny, unkempt sissies.

The subject of people remembering him finally brings Hitler around to the Holocaust. He complains that the Jews are “lousy winners,” as, having beaten him fair and square, foiling his attempt to exterminate them, they keep bringing the Holocaust up whenever they get the chance, thus refreshing the memory of Hitler and keeping him in his current form of conscious existence.

Jesus one-ups Hitler by pointing out that he personally has been conscious (this being the metaphysical state you’re in when someone thinks about you) for two thousand years, and that Hitler should stop whining.

Professor Moriarty So the take-home message here is that whenever you think about someone who has died, you summon them into existence in the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Vancouver?

Yes.

Professor Moriarty Surprisingly, that explains a lot.

And now we get to the big central moral message of this whole thing. Now, if you were hoping this would be a big profound statement that would justify everything that has happened so far, then you missed the bit at the beginning of this review where I was curled up in a ball crying.

Hitler longs for the peaceful oblivion of death, which is denied him because he cannot sleep so long as anyone remember him. However, death never sleeps, therefore, because he can not sleep, Hitler is death*Note: This does not actually make logical sense. Likewise, Jesus can bring Hitler the oblivion he so desperately seeks, but is prevented from doing so because Hitler is death*Note: This does not actually make logical sense. However, Jesus also cannot sleep, therefore Jesus is also death*Note: This does not actually make logical sense. Thus, Hitler and Jesus are death to each other*Note: This does not actually make logical sense. Therefore, Hitler and Jesus should logically kill each other*Note: This does not actually make logical sense, but they can not do so because they are both death themselves, and therefore do not know how to die*Note: This does not actually make logical sense, because if death knew how to die, there would be no death*Note: This does not actually make logical sense. QED*Note: Q does not actually ED. Understand? Too fucking bad.

Jesus then follows this up with another bombshell: Though Hitler wants to kill Jesus, he can’t, as Jesus is death and can not die. Jesus likewise can not kill Hitler, but he doesn’t want to.

Professor Moriarty Ah, yes, standard theology thing. Jesus is all forgiving and loves Hitler anyway even though he’s terrible. Heard it a million times before.

No, actually, Jesus doesn’t want to kill Hitler because Jesus is so damned mad at Hitler that he wants to watch Hitler suffer.

Professor Moriarty Oh. That’s a bit ugly.

But not surprising, except maybe that someone would be so forthright about it. But this is Hitler Meets Christ, and if your brain hasn’t bled out your ears yet, you haven’t been paying attention. Because unlike, say, mainstream american fundamentalist evangelical christiantity, Jesus doesn’t want Hitler to suffer “forever and ever”, but only for “as long as it takes for you to learn how to die. Because when you learn how to die, you will die, and death dies with you.”

Hitler, presumably using that cosmic knowledge you get when you die, works out that this means that God set him up, and Oh, it's supposed to be HITLER!wipes some dirt on his lip to make a little Hitler moustache, and starts bitching about how he never should have attacked Russia. And then he wanders off on a tangent about goosestepping into Paris and forcing the Mona Lisa to pleasure him orally. He’s given Jesus the slip for the moment, and complains that he should have tried starting his own religion, this having worked out better for Jesus, in terms of the percentage of the world population kneeling to himA unit known in the trade as the “centizod”. He also complains about how everyone betrayed him, and how Jesus was lucky to just have the one Judas. But he starts hearing voices again and runs off.

We rejoin Jesus, who is in a theater, Yes, reallywatching porn. Hitler, meanwhile, goes to church to beg God to let him die. Jesus shows up and tells Hitler where he’s been, putting on his best Creepy Perv Jesus!Creepy Pervert face. Hitler asks if it was hardcore, and Jesus excitedly says that yes, yes it was. Jesus loves porn, ladies and gentlemen.

But the porn was not all sunshine for Jesus: he explains that the performers had no sense of the fact that what they were doing was obscene and a violation of God’s laws, and therefore there was no real joy in it. According to Moriarty’s Jesus, God often breaks His own rules (I’m guessing he means miracles here), but He always enjoys it, because he understands the laws He’s breaking. So sex is only fun if you understand why it’s Wrong and Shameful and Sinful.

I am totally outsourcing my Pervy Jesus captions now. Sorry. I have my limits.Which is the most sex-positive sex-negative position I think I’ve ever heard. Jesus also describes innocence as a “Maidenhead that can grow back,” which grosses Hitler out. And just in case you haven’t been rendered entirely impotent by the thought of Jesus watching hardcore porn, he goes on explain that, though he doesn’t have sex personally, whenever a woman follows Him, he rewards them by secretly restoring their innocence, which in turn makes it easier for them to comeHis words, which Hitler will call him on later.. And he calls Hitler a prude.

So Hitler takes Jesus back to his hovel and shows Him his porn collection, then says several of George Carlin’s words. And, because it’s been
almost a whole three seconds since Jesus creeped us out, he explains that his experience of being in heaven as a state of perpetual orgasm. Which if it didn’t creep you out enough, he follows up by reminding Hitler of those 75 centizods he’s got.

Professor Moriarty I don’t follow — Oh dear. It’s a fellatio joke isn’t it?

Yeah. Jesus just intimated that he’s being continuously felated by christendom.

Hitler tries to take a dump, but is constipated. This feels important, though I don’t know why. Like Estragon having a bladder infection in Godot.

Hitler goes to church again to pray for annihilation, and this leads us into act 2….


Hitler Speech
You totally know they would. And then say they were shocked, shocked that anyone could even imagine it was anything other than an innocent mistake.

Hitler comes to Jesus, asking, finally, to be allowed to repent. He changes his name, wanting to be free of all the shame and baggage of his old name. So he changes his name to Atilla, and Jesus stops the plot for a second to come out against infant baptism. Unfortunately, about five minutes of Jesus being a smug git to him before Hitler’s all angry and mean and evil again. So he and Jesus go for a walk down Lover’s Lane (Lover's Laneyes, really). Atilla the Hitler speculates that the entire religion of Christianity was a set-up by God to get revenge on the Jews for the death of Jesus, citing the fact that God didn’t see fit to step in and prevent the Holocaust, nor did He make the allied victory happen with any particular alacrity. This makes Jesus angry. And you would not like Jesus when He’s angry.

To punctuate his point, Hitler kneels before Jesus and blames him for two thousand years of chrisitan atrocities and sectarian violence and the Crusades and the Inquisition and the Troubles, and everything else incuding his own rise. And Jesus cops to it, and says that Hitler is right to blame him, as being blamed for the sins of humanity is kind of what Jesus is for. Hitler also praises the Jews, for being clever enough both to survive Hitler, and to have opted out of Jesus. He declares Jesus to be two-faced, and storms off.

Act Three finds Jesus and Hitler walking in the park together. Are we supposed to be hoping they’ll make out eventually? Because my mind could probably not take watching Hitler and Jesus make out.

Anyway, Jesus tells Hitler that he went to his Dad with many of the same concerns Hitler did, about the whole “Hey, you know this Hitler chap seems quite intent on wiping out the Jews. We could totally stop him, and the fact that we aren’t kinda implies that we’re in favor of it,” thing. God-the-Father’s response, as related by Jesus, is cribbed from Job: I am very very big, and very very powerful, so where do you get off questioning me on this? He also says that all the Holocaust victims are also the Son of God, and that Jesus had been out of line for thinking that He was the only Christ — that in fact, everyone is Christ, and everyone who dies dies for the sins of all of humanity.

Professor Moriarty Now just a second, I think that Jesus here might be attempting to cite Matthew 25:41-45Then he will say to those at his left hand, “You that are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.” Then they also will answer, “Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not take care of you?” Then he will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.”.

Well sure, but I think if you hover over that tooltip, you’ll find that the actual contextualized passage lends itself to a reading along the lines of “Douchehats who go around thinking it’s okay to disenfranchise the underpriviliged, because that stuff Jesus said about being good to each other only applies to other christians are as evil as if they’d been personally cutting off Jesus’s unemployment benefits,” not “God wanted the suffering and slaughter of a historically oppressed people to happen so he could teach good christian folks an important lesson about fascism.” It is a terrible idea to cast the Nazis in the role of Pilate.

Professor Moriarty Yes, I suppose the film’s interpretation of the gospel is a bit heterodox when you put it that way.

Hitler does not like the implication that he is Christ, which puts him on the side of pretty much everyone else in the world whose name does not appear in the credits of this movie. But Hitler likes even less that Jesus doesn’t think he has the wherewhithal to actually successfully become Christ, especially as this requires dying. So in the final scene, Hitler sets himself to the task of becoming Christ, just to show him. He also claims that he’s already Cain, as he’s placed the Mark on his people: he recounts an anecdote about seeing a child in the park buying an ice cream cone. When the little boy said ja in response to the question “Do you like ice cream?” his accent destroyed the ice cream man’s good mood. Thus, Hitler had forever marked the German people, in that the sound of a German accent would forever make people uncomfortable.

Professor Moriarty Well, certainly the theology was bizarre, but I don’t see what was so bad about that movie as to leave you a defeated shell of a man.

I’m not done yet.

Professor Moriarty Oh.

If it were just that, just a weird existentialist musing on the nature of Jesus’s Christology and an excuse for the author to throw out a few of his wacky theological positions, I could simply dismiss this movie as pretentious and incoherent. Maybe recommend it for a show like Brows Held High. But no. This scene has two minutes to go.

Oh god, Jesus has gone postal!See, Jesus is looking pretty haggard by now, and admits that he doesn’t want to help Hitler become Christ, and that there are some sins he’s unwilling to forgive. Hitler jumps up and does a little dance for joy at having bested Jesus by being unforgivable. Jesus asserts, “I’m sure God will forgive me if I change my mind,” but Hitler points out that you can never be too sure with God.

And so, at one hour, eleven minutes, and fifteen seconds, Michael Moriarty’s Jesus does something so utterly bizarre that by comparison, Zardoz seems about as sober as a Friends of Bill meeting. Because Jesus’s response to Hitler is this:

Force lightning
Jesus zaps Hitler with his Force Lightning.

Force lightning
Jesus zaps Hitler with his Force Lightning.

And by this point, it kinda looks a little like he's humping him too.
Jesus zaps Hitler with his Force Lightning.

Force lightning
Jesus zaps Hitler with his Force Lightning.

And then he does it again. Grinning maniacally as Hitler falls to the ground and gurns on the floor. Then, just as Hitler has crawled away from this grinning, sadistic Jesus, who triumphantly callsI’ll point out here: even Tim Lahaye and Jerry Jenkins had the decency to specify that their Super Death Jesus 2000 had the good taste not to taunt the sinners after casting them into the lake of fire for an eternity of torment. Though they did have the humans assert that gloating would have been totally justified and awesome. after him, “Yes! Slither off the stage, snake!”, Jesus smiles, waves, and says “Oh, and have a nice day, eh?”

Professor Moriarty So you’re saying that…

Yes.

Professor Moriarty But that would mean…

Yes.

Professor Moriarty My word. I thought I was evil. But that… Impossible.

Yep. Jesus is Canadian. Also a Sith Lord, but mostly Canadian.

Professor Moriarty I think I understand your pain now. When I take over the world, this Michael Moriarty will be scrubbed from my family tree.

Oh. Right. That whole world conquest thing.

Professor Moriarty Yes. I’m afraid this is the part where we have to fight.

What’s the point? Don’t you see that I’m already a sad, broken shell of a man? Nothing you can do to me is so bad as what that other Moriarty has already done.

Professor Moriarty Perhaps, but you are the only one who knows my deep, dark secret, and therefore you must die.

Well crap.

VWORP VWORP VWORP!

Professor Moriarty Sherlock Holmes! My mortal nemesis! But with the power I’ve absorbed from this fool’s reviews of Michael Moriarty movies, even you can not defeat me now!

Oh my God, Sherlock Holmes and Kenny G Team Up To Save The PopeIt’s Kenny G! And the Pope!

The Pope It’s-a me! The pope-a!

(I am so going to hell for that one)

Professor Moriarty The Pope! How did you know?

Sherlock It was all quite elementary. While investigating the disappearance of the pope, I noticed that the last existing first edition copy of Galileo’s Sidereus Nuncius had been stolen from the Vatican archives. Obviously, only one man in all the world would be so bold as to take the occasion of kidnapping the pope as a cover to also steal o
ne of the most infamous mathematical treatises of all time. None other than the very mind that produced On the Dynamics of an Asteroid. But, if you were able to go to the vatican in person, why bother with the ninjas? From there, it became clear that the whole business with the Ninjas had been a cunning subterfuge: You had kidnapped the pope, and had fabricated evidence so that the blame would fall on the ninjas, leading to war between the vatican and ninjadom

The Pope And you’d have gotten away with it too, but for Mr. Holmes and Mr. G.

Sherlock You made one fatal mistake, Moriarty: You neglected the longstanding rivalry between ninjas and pirates.

Professor Moriarty Of course! Then all you had to do was–

Sherlock I trust the details are obvious and I needn’t spell it out.

Um. Wait, why would Moriarty want to start a war between ninjas and the vatican?

Sherlock Why as subterfuge, of course. Isn’t it obvious? He couldn’t risk the Pope interfering with his plans.

Why?

Sherlock Because the papacy is Moriarty’s one weakness, obviously.

Wolf MoriaryProfessor Moriarty I commend you, Mr. Holmes, on your deduction. Yes, as a mathematician, I have no defense against papal infalibility. But that hardly matters now, as the extra power I have absorbed from Hitler Meets Christ will let me… TRANSFORM!

Hey, no fair turning into a giant wolf!

Sherlock There’s only one thing for it: All of you, we must join forces to stop him. Let our Powers Combine!



Deduction! Music! Spirituality! Cynicism!
What did that accomplish?
