簡介/Synopsis

受到海涅‧穆勒的「海克力斯二」或是「九頭蛇」以及格林童話的「倔強的小孩」的啟發，盧次‧丹貝克在1984年的「海克力斯」中批判性地探討了獨裁統治體系：古代的海克力斯身上之善良美德，與令人有邪惡聯想的德國法西斯藝術融成一氣。丹貝克想通過這樣的組合對超人這個完美的想像進行解構，並揭發隱藏其中的法西斯的扭曲併吞。這部批判體制的作品，終究被德國電影股份有限公司一再的拒絕，丹貝克只能以個人製作的方式完成。

In his 1984 “Hercules”, inspired by Heiner Müller’s “Herakles 2 oder Die Hydra ” (Hercules 2 or The Hydra) as well as the Grimm fairytale,“Das eigensinnige Kind” (The wilful Child), Lutz Dammbeck deals critically with the topos of authoritarian systems of dominance: the moral goodness of the Hercules of antiquity is combined with its capture by the art of German fascism, with all its evil connotations. Through this synthesis, Dammbeck wants to deconstruct the ideal image of the “Übermensch” (superman) effectively and demonstrate the implicit fascist annexation. This approach levels a critique on established systems and, in the last analysis, led to the project being rejected by DEFA several times so that it could only be realised as an independent production.
