Movie Reviews of Judgment at NurembergMovie Review: Top Flight WWII Courtroom Drama Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent performances from Maximillian Schell and Richard Widmark as the defending and prosecuting lawyers highlight this film dramatizing a post-WWII trial against Nazi judges. The movie calls into question how much responsibility Nazi judges should take for defending immoral Nazi edicts. Spencer Tracy is fine as the lead judge initially wracked by doubt as to how to administer justice, but who ultimately comes around to give the fairest rulings against each defendant. Highly recommended.
Movie Review: War Crime Trials Summary: 5 Stars
An all star cast tackles the presentation of a consciousness laden film in which Judges of the 3rd Reich are themselves on trial. The exact use of all of the legal vocabulary is brillant; the final deceision of the Tribunal Judges a real eye opener. Both the prosecutor and the defense attornies carry out their jobs demonstrating the utmost ability to conduct the proceedings if it were not for the outbursts of the defendents. This fictional trial really taxes your own system of values.
Movie Review: How easily we fool ourselves Summary: 5 Stars
This old movie is obviously well done but the full impact of it just sank in for me. This is not about how evil the German people were--they were and are no more evil than anyone else. The real message of this film is about how easily we can justify evil behavior when it's sold under the guise of patriotism. And how easily fear and self-interest leads to an inability to "see" the evil. Americans in particular ought to view this film again and again, with their eyes wide open.
Movie Review: Why not anamorphic? Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot add to what has been said about this masterpiece. My question is, why isn't this film, like many other great films, released in an anamorphic version, so those of us who have 16X9 TVs can fully appreciate the film's visual images. Other films like this include Nixon, Kundun, The Last Emperor, etc. I could go on and on. Wide screen TVs are the future, they are even " now." So why aren't all DVD releases in this format? No one knows....
Movie Review: A breathtaking film Summary: 5 Stars
I just recently saw this movie and was stunned at the superb performances by Spencer Tracey, Burt Lancaster, Maximilian Schell and an excellent performance from Montgomery Clift. I am not going to write a several paragraph review, but this movie is very powerful and there are some scenes when i get goosebumps or even get a little misty. This is a must see for people interested in seeing a very good movie, acted superbly by an all-star cast.
