Madden Movie

[purplefaithful]

Finally watched Nuremberg with my son on Sunday. Both of us absolutely loved this movie. 

If you’re a history buff, or even just someone who’s sick of all the superheroes and sequels churned out by Hollywood, you might like this one. Love that it dares to explore the blurry space between good and evil.

I loved the performances of Crowe and Malik, but I loved the movie a little less I guess...

But I'm comparing it to an earlier film on the subject matter that may not be a fair fight.

That was Judgement at Nuremberg from 1961:
Spencer Tracy
Burt Lancaster
Judy Garland

A classic story telling that was one of the first to shed light broadly on genocide post WW2.

Madden is on my radar along the Neil Diamond film.

Judgement is a classic. While I liked that one and have seen it several times, it's a totally different movie about the whole proceedings.

I like that this one was focused more on the interaction between the psychiatrist and Göring. It was impossible to take my eyes off of the screen during their conversations about good, evil, Hitler, the law. I also loved that they weren't afraid to show Göring in a sympathetic light with a loving wife and daughter. Yes, an obvious narcissist, but also intelligent, charismatic, even charming. Even my son mentioned how uncomfortable that made him. But I like that discomfort. Because it's the truth. And I think it's important to remind modern audiences that villains capable of unthinkable atrocities rarely show up in wolves clothing.
