Movie Reviews of Conspiracy

Movie Review: Manuel Vidal. Es una pel?cula que captura la decisi?n sobre la soluci?n final
Summary: 5 Stars

En esta pel?cula se muestra la banalidad que acompa?? a la discusi?n en la cual se decidi? la soluci?n final para la "Judenfrage" o "Cuesti?n jud?a". Es un complemento que aporta mucho a la comprensi?n del libro de Hannah Arendt: "El juicio de Eichmann en Jerusal?n". La pregunta entre los asistentes a la reuni?n de Wannsee no radicaba en si era bueno o no acabar a un pueblo entero, no entre todos abirtamente, sino en c?mo hacerlo m?s eficaz, eficiente y efectivamente al menor costo para el Reich. Sugiero complementar esta pelicula con el libro mencionado y con "The Nazis, a warning from history", dcumental excelente de la BBC, y con las pel?culas "Rosa blanca" o "Sophie Scholl", y "Out of the ashes", adem?s de "Los falsificadores", "Napola" y otras tantas. Es una pel?cula que sin salir de la reuni?n, hace pensar en la gravedad de la banalidad frente al mal, de c?mo lo potencia. Para hacer el mal extremo no hay que ser un mostruo o un demonio, basta con ser banal.

Summary of Conspiracy

On January 20, 1942, with the tide of war turning in favor of the Allies, a small group of SS officers, government ministers, and Nazi officials met near Berlin to decide the fate of Europe's Jews. Based on the only surviving record of that meeting, Conspiracy is a powerful combination of historical reconstruction and speculation that attempts to offer new insights into a pivotal moment in history.

The cast does a marvelous job of fleshing out the documentary evidence to create convincing characters. Kenneth Branagh is especially chilling as SS Chief of Security Reinhard Heydrich, who uses a combination of charm and ruthless power-mongering to gain support for his plans. Colin Firth is fascinating as Wilhelm Stuckart, a lawyer who sees the brutal tactics of the SS as a threat to his own intellectualized anti-Semitism, and Stanley Tucci gives a wonderfully understated performance as Adolf Eichmann.

Conspiracy is a carefully crafted, completely unsensational film that offers ample proof of the banality of evil. There are no histrionics and no comic-book Nazi villains, just a small group of politicians and war-weary soldiers arguing about the meaning of words and the logistics of extermination, calmly preparing to unleash an unimaginable horror on the world. --Simon Leake
