Movie Reviews of Council of the Gods
Movie Review: Great Story Line Whether Fact or Fiction
Summary: 5 Stars
Hey, even if these guys got 50% of the story right here, it is definately a very clear picture from the view of some who experienced the atrocities of war and the aftermath of a very large disaster effecting many families after the war.
The movie is very fast paced, and you get to know the characters right away. If you do not watch the extras ahead of time, you will definately get the sense that the movie is from the left. Later you will find it is an East German film. But, really, listening to this side can give you some very interesting insights. Even when those in the union are dissappearing, you get the sense that those left behind had some hope for the future.
The movie is in German and German with English subtitles. I particularly liked the pace of the movie. But you have to understand that the movie covers 12 years in about two hours. You will learn in the extras, the Representative from Standard Oil is a composite character. We have that a lot in movies, the most recent example was the character played by Mel Gibson in the Patriot. They do use the book written after Nuremburg entitled IG Farben as a main source. Speaking of Nuremburg, there is a trial scene toward the end of the movie that is just spectacular. The tirades, fault finding and redirections are just great. A lot of emotion packed into very few minutes.
Many of us have heard through the years about various corporations in the US supporting the build up to WWII in Germany as a truth. This is just one more look from a perspective of those with an agenda, yet, they have eye witness accounts and some very interesting coincidences that need answers.
