Nuremberg: El Juicio del Siglo

One of the best films I've seen in years, and I've seen many. Great performances across the board! I loved it! I simply couldn't stop watching! This one has awards written all over it. Malek, Crowe, and Shannon were amazing! I am so glad I went to the theater to see this film. People should not forget history.

I saw this film at the AFI Film Fest in Hollywood. I was not aware of the psychiatrist's (Rami Malek) involvement with Goering (Russell Crowe) before and during the trial, and that was some of the best parts of the movie. Also interesting was the part that Sgt. Howie Triest (Leo Woodhall) played during the trial - I had not heard of his story before, and I have read and studied a lot about WWII. Russell Crowe is brilliant as Goering and Malek is very good but not perfect. Now for some of the issues I have the film. The portrayal of Goering on the witness stand was very good, but it was not accurate - the movie implies that it was all in one day and it was not. Also, I did not like Slattery's over the top performance as the warden of the prison. Michael Shannon's performance as Justice Jackson was adequate but not compelling or accurate. There are some other minor inaccuracies that cause me to delete a couple of points from an otherwise excellent film, but I definitely recommend it for fans of fine drama.

Wow, saw this at TIFF. Powerful film. Russell Crowe, Rami Malick, Michael Shannon were all fantastic , as well as the rest of the cast. Harrowing scenes of the Final Solution. You could hear a pin drop in the theater when they were showing actual scenes of Nazi atrocities. Highly recommend watching this film!

Saw an early screening of Nuremberg with the Regal Mystery Movie. Honestly, I was expecting another standard WWII film. There are two storylines that interweave. The first being the obvious, the relationship between Douglas Kelly (Malek) and Herman Goering (Crowe). And the story of trying to get the trials set up with Robert Jackson (Shannon).

Positives!

+Some of the most genuine conversations I have heard on film.

+Great set and costumes.

+Fitting Score.

+Interesting interpersonal relationships. Show what it means to put humanity before hatred.

Negatives!

-Some historical inaccuracies.

-Gimmicky black and white news reel moments.

-Rami Malek doesn't always match his words to his face.

Nuremberg is a great film. But not a documentary. Your enjoyment may vary because of that. But Russell Crowe knocks it out of the park for sure. No heavy handed themes. Just factual footage from the camps.

Probably the best new movie I have seen in a very long time. Great performances and interesting plotlines. The "cat and mouse" relationship between Malek and Crowe is ever changing and complex. Very timeless story of the ascent of evil rings very true today. Much different than Judgment at Nuremberg, and maybe not as good, but still a must see movie.
