Nuremberg the film

The recent programme on Channel 4 is a truly fascinating watch. Hitler's DNA: Blueprint of a Dictator.

They have managed to pick up all sorts of things from a sample of his blood. What makes it all the more fascinating is that he went to such great pains to have his body destroyed but never realised that a small bloodstain could be analysed 80 years later.

I certainly can see how Hitler got to power - a good orator. If my memory is correct, Margaret Thatcher styled her speaking on him - that is speak quietly so the audience stops talking and listens. I often see comments that they think Nigel Farage is virtually the new Messiah - he has great headlines but no details on his policies. In any event I don't think he has staying power as he would have to half his salary if he became PM.

Not so much a gifted orator but I understand he knew how to work a crowd and read a room. Possibly his only talent.

I haven't seen this new movie but Judgement at Nuremberg (1961) was powerful. Seeing Nazis getting their karma is always a good watch.

There's also an excellent 4 part BBC series which I recommend.
Nuremberg: the Nazis on Trial.

I thought this was amazing too. It was good to learn how complex it was, how all the different countries had different legal systems and how hard it was to prosecute the Nazi war criminals against that backdrop.
And some of the people who were involved who were household names later on, but I had no idea of the role they played at Nuremberg.
It was also interesting to understand the steps they had to take to stop people committing suicide before they got a trial.

My daughter and I saw it last week and thought it was excellent but very harrowing! It started with name calling, the rest as we know is history !
Definitely should be Oscar nominations!

I quite agree about Farage, he'd have to do some work if he became PM and for less money.

Is that a new film on Nuremberg? I googled it and wasn't quite sure, I liked the previous film on it?

Well Willy Brandt didn't fall for it. I'm pretty sure he wasn't the only German who fought the Nazis.

I can think of women who were comparable to 'testosterone fueled men'.

Yes it was Pantglas marvellous actin, there should be a couple of Oscar nominations in there; best actor and best supporting actor but who would be nominated for which one.

I wonder if playing such an iconic role like Freddy Mercury can be detrimental .

Wasn’t it marvellous acting Smileless! And you’re right about thinking Freddy Mercury whenever Malek plays anything else!

I haven’t seen Freddy but my daughter said the same Smiles.

Excellent acting by Russell Crow and Rami Malek, but every time I see him I think of Freddy Mercury.

Going to see this this afternoon.

Yes Iam64 it's frightening how history has always repeated itself, will we ever learn?

I'm afraid the answer to that is no. Not until we get more women as leaders to dilute the testosterone fuelled men with too much power in their hands.

It was a difficult but brilliant watch. Haunting and yes Rami Malek and Russell Crowe so convincing in character

An amazing film,but a very difficult watch. Personally, I think Rami Malek and Russell Crowe deserve Oscars.

Seeing it this week Iam. The 1947 'Nuremberg Trials' was brilliant so am hoping this is as good.

'Judgement at Nuremberg' was on TV last week, another brilliant but difficult watch.
