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.
