(Judgment at Nuremberg)
Visto in VHS.
La descrizione del processo a 4 gerarchetti nazisti nel 1948 (right of judges and a former minister of justice) courts presided over by a surprisingly open minded, willing to understand why the Germans first to condemn them in toto.
A film is important because it is the first (and to my knowledge, almost the only) to maintain a certain objectivity about Nazi Germany (it's also the first that I know of, to show real images of death camps after the liberation). Show all points of view, the most extreme (both the Germans, as the prosecutor now under indictment, and the Americans, as the current prosecutor) to the more moderate, rising for the 2000 facets political ideology (and Satanic system) has had on everyday life. There are no excuses (or acquittals, even for positive characters), but the desire to show and to understand how to live, go ahead, despite living in a Nazi state and doing nothing to oppose it. Certainly the continued, protested, invocation of ignorance about what happen in the death camps can be believed or not, but change little things, like the German lawyer says, they are being accused all Germans (and should not be the only).
As I said the faults are distributed appropriately, and absolution is not final (as it should be), but the film affords the luxury of defending the Germans and to understand them. No small feat.
PS: I never appointed Kramer, but he goes there with a legal wedding movie, and although quite small, dance with the camera, framing on multiple floors (all functional shots that are used to show in the first floor and second floor speaker who is appointed) and stop when in fact the circle would be superfluous. But sin for the all star cast, largely wasted.
