Don't listen to the negative reviews

It's one of the most original films you'll likely see all year, which, depending on your threshold for certifiably crazy storylines, could be a rewarding experience or one that frustrates you.

This is not intended to a review, as I feel there are many well-written and insightful reviews already. My only comment is that I am extremely disappointed at the end, when the film titles inform us of what happened to each Wannssee Conference participant after the war. It is my belief that each and every participant was a member of a conspiracy to commit crimes against humanity as defined in the Nuremberg charter, and each, without exception, should have been charged and tried on that basis. As we see, many lived to a ripe and prosperous old age, never having to face any consequences for their role in devising, implementing, and approving the plan to murder 6 million Jews. Great movie, bad reality.

Originally, Hitler's "Mein Kampf", stated that after a Nazi victory against the Allies, all European Jews would be deported to Palestine.In 1941-42, Rommel's Afrika Korps were being pummeled by British forces in North Africa. Caused, in part, by the Nazi invasion in the Soviet Union getting bogged down by an early Russian winter. Hitler had to divert supplies destined for Rommel to the Eastern Front.German officials met with Arab leaders, including the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem to discuss working together to defeat the Allies. The Grand Mufti, who was aware of Hitler's plans for the Jews, agreed but only if the Jews were not returned to Palestine. Besides, since most of the Middle East was former members of the Ottoman Empire, now British and French colonies, the Arabs considered the Germans their allies! And so it was that the Nazi's came up with the "Final Solution", the total extermination of all Jews!

This is an important film, if only because of its extremely rare subject matter, the single meeting leading to the extermination of all the Jews of Europe. I was completely unaware of such a secret meeting, held in Berlin without even the physical presence of Hitler himself. This powerful film belongs to its central star, Kenneth Branagh, who commands the proceedings with the actual gravitas of a true Nazi general. In a word, his performance was both simultaneously charming, and pathologically serious, all in one, irresistible package. He was riveting. Although the role of Adolf Eichman, portrayed by a solid Stanley Tucci (particularly in one memorable speech) was effective, alas, most all of the supporting cast of movie Nazis (all English performers, as always), they were all there, clearly, to support Branagh's standout performance and character.
