That
January 20, 1942 was a meeting in a mansion in a village southeast of Berlin that would make the history of the Jewish people of Europe and therefore the world changed radically. That meeting convened by perhaps the most sinister, but also one of the most exciting time Nazi, Reinhard Heydrich, and organized by the SS Colonel Adolf Eichmann is told in a brilliant in this film produced for television in 2001 and directed by Frank Pierson.
"final solution", a title much more successful in the original English Conspiracy (clearly designed to attract Anglo-Saxon history means knowing as much as I bicycle brake) talks about how was hatched and organized the systematic slaughter of the Holocaust. But it does so without sensationalism, if falling into cheap sentimentality abounds.
Nor intends to present the Nazis as evil beings with tails and horns. In contrast, smoke, drink, eat, laugh, get angry, listen to music, as we do. The difference is that they do while they talk quite naturally of how they will eliminate millions of people.
The film is supported by a fairly good script, without artifice, but not a mass film. No shots or explosions and people screaming, but people thinking and talking, it is therefore not a film or mass media phenomenon. With great historical accuracy and verisimilitude in recreating parties do not know.
-screenwriter Frank Pierson likes of Alan J. Pakula, Sidney Lumet and Norman Jewison, the director is to blame for that work, it is limited to telling the story, take advantage of the great actors and put the camera where you send the fees. Others would give young directors to seek rare planes. Big mistake.
Wonderful photography Stephen Goldblatt ("Cotton Club") that takes advantage of simple lenses while others need filters to get interesting.
But where as it was logical to find the power of a movie theater is inevitably cut players, with Stanley Tucci and Kenneth Branagh and a secondary mighty convincing and conflicting with the authority in some cases even a little more defined and cartoony.
Certainly there is a German film "The Wannsee Conference" of 1984 also speaks of the topic, although this is much better no doubt. Only for gourmet tastes and interested in the subject. (Vircenguetorix: BFI )
