Nuremberg

*"if you think the next time it happens we’re going to recognize it because they’re wearing scary uniforms, you’re out of your damn mind." * i walked into this expecting worse? it definitely picks up in the second half. i didn't enjoy the cinematography, especially the camera movements. it feels like something you'd stumple upon on cable tv, rather than a precisely crafted movie. the acting didn't blow me away either, but it wasn't terrible. on the other hand, i very much appreciated the attention to details in some parts; the fashion, the cigarettes, the nuances and accuracy in the psychology aspect, etc. . their use of silence (or better said, lack of music) fit the feeling well. it goes without saying, i think, that the importance and impact of real concentration camp footage, as well as the "speech" at the end deserves recognition. i think im in the minority when i say i did appreciate it being unserious at times and having bits of humor thrown in there, i feel it connects well with the "still human" undertone of it all. even if i have mixed opinions on that message alone. it couldve been done better, but it's enjoyable, relevant and most importantly, opportune. all i can hope for this movie is to make people take heed of the warnings regarding silent fascism, or maybe more broadly, strict authoritarianism.
