Off topic but recently I saw this song mentioned and having looked up the context I am just sorta baffled at the entire thing. The movie synopsis reads like it showcased the total shitshow and decay of Weimar Berlin but it tries to make it all sound good, and the scene is meant to be chilling just because it is nazis without any of the context that they had done nothing bad by that point still and in fact wouldn't even be in power for another 2 years.
Reminds me of a different movie which I thought was called something like The Lizard's Egg but I cannot for the life of me find it, which was also set in Weimar Germany (though this one ever earlier, around the time of the Beer Hall putsch) which similarly had absolute fucking loser degenerates as the main characters who you were apparently suposed to sympathize with. I remember watching it in a history class at university and my only thought was "holy fuck these people are complete fucking losers what the fuck are they doing with their lives why are they just going along with all this societal collapse around them and not trying to save themselves" as they wasted their little money on night life and fucking while the SA and KPD fight in the streets.
