Max is a 2002 British-Hungarian-Canadian fictional drama film, that depicts a friendship between a Jewish art dealer, Max Rothman, and a young Austrian painter, Adolf Hitler. The film explores Hitler's views which began to take shape under Nazi ideology; while also studying the artistic and design implications of the Third Reich and how their visual appeal helped hypnotize the German people. The film goes on to study the questions of what could have been if Hitler had been more accepted in the art community instead of him developing into an extremist politician. The film was the first directorial piece for Menno Meyjes who also scripted the film and others past works.
The year is 1918, and Max Rothman (John Cusack), a fictional Munich art dealer, is a veteran of the Third Battle of Ypres, where he lost his right arm during the latter stages of World War I effectively ending his career as a painter. He returns to Germany to attempt to capture the essence of war through art by opening a modern art gallery. He is married to Nina (Molly Parker), but also has a mistress, Liselore von Peltz (Leelee Sobieski). Through a chance encounter, Rothman is approached by a young Adolf Hitler (Noah Taylor), a war veteran as well, disgruntled over Germany's loss during the conflict and the country's humiliation by the signing of the Versailles Treaty; Hitler wishes to have his artwork drawings displayed.

Don't wanna talk about the way I am
I only try to make you understand
That my affection is so really true
And my heart has started thumpin' since I met you
I just can't wait until tonight baby
'Til I have you by my side baby
I just can't wait until tonight baby
For being with you

First time I saw you it just knocked me down
The way you smiled has turned my life around
I never thought that it would catch me so
I'll get my head together 'cause I want you to know

'Til I have you by my side baby
I just can't wait until tonight baby
For being with you
True love won't be afraid of noone
True love can lead us through the day
I'll get my head together
And I want you to say
I just can't wait until tonight baby
'Til I have you by my side baby
Just can't wait until tonight baby
For being with you
