Mikhail Rom explores the profound theme through the 16-chapter documentary ordinary Fascism: "how can we reveal the secrets of history?" How did German fascism infiltrate the hearts of millions of Germans, corrupt their souls and go crazy with their reason? " Another director, Conrad Wolf, spoke highly of the film. The subtitles of each chapter of the film are also meaningful, such as "my struggle", "the slain Lamb", "cruel Dreams and actions", "the Fuhrer directs us forward" and "the Art of the Nazis" and so on. In order to illustrate the meaning of each title, the film uses a large number of historical scenes, which are materials seized by the Soviet Red Army from the Imperial Film Database or personal collections confiscated from German war criminals. By using the cut combination of montage, Roma skillfully combines the historical scene with the modern picture, and adds the elements of children, making the film very attractive. The feeling of watching the film today is no different from that of its premiere in 1965.
