Gleitzmann is a 2021 Besmenian biographical historical drama film, starring Franz Waldmitz as (referred these days as controversial) Besmenian Prime Minister Robert Gleitzmann.
The film depicts the life of Robert Gleitzmann beginning with his time as mayor of Laitstadt in the 1960s up to the last years of his life in the late 1990s. Historical events such as the West Besmenian Revolution, the Besmenian reunification and the foundation of the CCA are also covered in the film. The film shows Gleitzmann on the one hand in a positive representation, but also in a negative representation, corresponding to various political acts but also in his private life.
The film premiered at the 95th Tofino Film Festival on July 6th, 2021.
Plot
The film begins with the HIL news broadcast from November 21, 1999, on which the death of Gleitzmann is announced. After the announcement of his death, the news anchor gave a brief glimpse into his political life. After the end of the report, the actual film begins.
Chapter 1: Mayor of the capital (1963-1972)
After the unexpected death of the Mayor of Laitstadt Egon Lochmann on April 23, 1963, the majority of the State Chamber of Laitstadt elected Gleitzmann as his successor. He continues the blue-red coalition. In the 1964 Laitstadt state election, Gleitzmann ran for the BVP as a candidate. BVP was able to increase its result by 7.3%. After the West Besmenian Revolution happened in West Besmenia in May 1966, he gave a speech in front of the town hall in support of the protestors.
At the BVP party conference in March 1967, Gleitzmann was elected as the new BVP party chairman with a total of 444 out of 752 votes. Among some, the choice is questionable, as they think the Gleitzmann is far too right-wing.
During the 1968 election campaign, in which Gleitzmann stood for the BVP at federal level, he often criticized the policies of Prime Minister Johannes Schmidt, because he believed that his reunification policy would be disadvantageous for the future. After the BVP was again the second largest party in the 1968 Besmenian federal election, the red-blue coalition was continued under Schmidt. Due to criticism of Gleitzmann, Schmidt decided against membership of Gleitzmann as a minister in the federal government.
Due to demands from West Besmenians, who wanted Melmingia to be the new capital of the reunified Besmenia, the government under Schmidt decided to hold a referendum on the capital issue. Gleitzmann is against the referendum. During this time he emphasized the motto "Laitstadt remains the capital and so it STAYS!" (Besmenian: Laitstadt bleibt Hauptstadt und so BLEIBTS!). After the majority voted for Laitstadt as the capital, Gleitzmann believes that his action has made a difference.
After the 1969 Laitstadt state election, Gleitzmann entered into a joint coalition with the FBBP and ended cooperation with the social democrats. He begins to dislike the SDU.
Chapter 2: Prime Minister of a reunited country (1972-1980)
Chapter 3: Beiter era, Gleitzmann scandal and sad end (1980-1999)
After the FBBP had won the 1980 Besmenian federal election, Gleitzmann's prime minister ship ends.
