Abstract
In Nazi Germany, uniforms played a crucial role in mediating the body with other objects, regulating visibility, and promoting Nazi ideology. Uniforms also exerted a significant influence on the thinking and behavior of human subjects who donned them, symbolically representing the power of authority. Therefore, Nazi uniforms served as both a visual image of power, embodying the violence and strength of Nazism, and a symbol of obedience and conformity. Robert Schwentke's film <The Captain>, encourages individuals to view history from their specific and privileged positions within the context of their social and historical relationships. History is a comprehensive problem, situated not only in a single event but also in the multilayered and discontinuous connections between individuals, nations, ideologies, the past, and the future. The embodiment of power through uniforms in the film represents a complex and comprehensive confluence of contemporary political, social, and cultural issues that occur at a specific and discontinuous moment in time. This portrayal of power continues to resonate in contemporary society, where the desire for power is still associated with violence and the pursuit of crime. Thus, <The Captain> can be seen as a contemporary insight into our era, reflecting on the nature of power in social relationships.
