Movie Reviews of Conspiracy
Movie Review: Excellent and intense movie
Summary: 5 Stars
If your into WWII or Nazi Germany movies this is the type of movie you would like, based on a true story comes this movie which depics a meeting among many high leaders of the third reich (political, social, military, cultural, etc.) under the Fhurer instructions in order to decide the fate of the Jews population, here is where the final solution was agreed, the movie goes on all in the same location but the arguments, the debates, the historical facts, makes it so intense that you don't even feel the tedious of being in the same house all the time. If you would it may be similar to those Nuremberg Trial movies but here is an open free debate where the Jews are consider a thing or an illness that they need to get rid off.
Outstanding is the characterization by Keneth Branagh of General Heydrich, ruthless, cold but overall showing them as thinkers a different view as of the madness of Nazis beleived by the public.
Movie Review: Brilliant!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is exactly what television should be like: intelligent, thought-provoking, brilliantly written and acted. The Wannsee Conference, held on January, 20, 1942, was convened by Reinhard Heydrich, Himmler's second in command of the SS (Kenneth Branagh), chillingly assisted by his deputy Eichmann (Stanley Tucci), near Berlin: it gathered 15 top Nazi bureaucrats to coordinate the Final Solution in which the Nazis would attempt to exterminate the entire Jewish population of Europe. The attendants kept minutes, so that this teleplay is based largely on historical fact. The genius of the actors, director Frank Pierson and writer Loring Mandel is to make us understand how ordinary top bureaucrats could be pushed into accepting the ultimate horror - and to make this into an entertaining, and sometimes even very funny movie. The writing is so crisp you want to remember every line.Movie Review: Another excellent HBO produced movie to buy
Summary: 5 Stars
I was so excited when I saw this movie being offfered. This movie is not about action, this is about serious dialogue. The script and the cast were outstanding. The subject matter however was and still is utterly evil. The skills of Branagh and Tucci are superb. This is about an actual roundtable discussing gas chamber methods of exterminating Jews. One of the characters of the film remarked how he found it humorous, the bodies turned pink during the experiment,as well as the efficiency of the program.(beyond demented). These individuals thought they were clever(most evil people do) to burn all traces of the meeting, a transcript was found, another fine example how evil deeds are exposed in it's season.A good film for aspiring actors and writers to watch. If you like HBO produced movies this is definitely one to own, it would be on the top 30 movies of all time.Movie Review: The mundane beginning of the holocaust
Summary: 5 Stars
This film takes place in one place only and with a limited set of characters. It revolves around the Wannsee Conference, a meeting held at the highest levels of the German government and the Nazi Party. The conference brings together lawyers, technocrats, military (SS), and bureaucrats who, after being skillfully guided by Reichsprotector Reinhard Heydrich, set the stage for the mass extermination of the Jewish population in Europe. The issue is settled much as a trade treaty or a new public relations campaign might be. The scariest part of the story is how mundane all this was. The decision was made and carried out and that was the end of it, just a lot of numbers and trains and changes in official policy to these people.
Evil does not always wear a cloak and show off fangs... sometimes it just has to do with people with the power to do or not do.
Movie Review: Fascinating
Summary: 5 Stars
When people look back at World War II, the concentration camps, and what the Nazi's called the Jewish Problem and their solution to it, we always hear the same question; How could something like this happen? Here is your answer. We see educated men sit and discuss over lunch in a matter of fact manner how to murder millions of people. Though you can feel some moments of pity for the few men who realize the horror of what they were discussing and tried to argue against it, those moments quickly fade when you see them give way to the others present. If you doubt such things are still possible, watch this movie and see how easily and nonchalantly these men sentenced to death so many people, and the utter contempt they had for them. A very good movie, but it can't help but being disturbing as well when you remember this isn't fiction, it happened.
