Nuremberg review

 

 This is a new story that analyzes the relationship between Douglas Kelley and Hermann Göring.  The film deals with the other suspects, but in a very small way.  The performances are spectacular.  Russel Crowe gives humanity to this monster of a man, Hermann Göring.  

I was fascinated of how this monster could have a relationship with a psychiatrist in Douglas Kelley, who is played by Remi Malik.  The film shows the relationship between these 2 men and how they were trying to represent their countries over all view at the time.  

The only conflict I see with any of the characters is how Goring didn't have emotion for other families that died, but still loved his own family and cared about them so much.  That is what a narcissist does.   It shows that Goring had disdain for his own family; his uncle was Jewish, but Goring would never admit it.  How his uncle took advantage of the Goring family when they were poor.  Also, how his uncle took advantage of his mother while the family lived with their uncle.  

I found myself sympathizing with Goring at the beginning, but by the end, I knew he was lying, and it was just a trick to take you on a historical ride that showed some elements of man and now a monster.  It is so easy for us to see these evil people as monsters, but maybe they are, but their humanity is stifled. Through life, whether it was through survival or their own ambition, these people forget how to be human.  Goring is a good example of that, someone who wanted power, and when he got it, he used it to almost wipe out an entire culture and race.  

The film is well-made and serves as a cautionary tale about a society that craves power and is willing to step on or kill anyone to achieve it.  

It is a film made for adults. Kids would not find it interesting, but any history buff would love this film.  It has Christian elements in it, but the overall theme is man's inhumanity to man.  When we all just love one another like Jesus taught us, then we would have a better world entirely. 

Well, that's it for now, see you at the movies.
