Hitler: The Rise of Evil

Nerdanel · 04-27-2005, 04:16 PM

Has anyone seen this miniseries?

Everything made about Hitler is always controversial. If you've seen Hitler: The Rise of Evil, what did you think about it? The concept, the actors, whatever comes to mind.

And also to you who haven't seen it: is it necessary, in your opinion, to still make all these movies, series, books and documentaries about Hitler and his life? Is there still something to be learnt about him?

I have not seen the series. IMO, It is probably best for someone to read from credible sources than to see a movie/miniseries on the topic. The one area where the visual media can be very effective is in showing the ugliness and brutality that results from war.

Some things can still be learned from all these books, movies, etc. All though it may get to the point of diminishing returns.

I been watching Hitler's War on History Channel, and its a good series. They have interviews with some of the soldiers and civilians that were there. Its good they get these accounts for that generation of people are dyinig off quickly, and their memories will be lost forever.

i have seen a lot of documentaries on hiler and the nazi state, but not this series, i think that whilst it is good to poduce educational material it is still necessary to remain as objective as possible with whatever topic you are dealing with, although w do know that he was a particularly evil man
