Negative Positive
Title: ho-hum
Review: This is just a movie, a piece of invention-so why not give it a motive force? Nothing propels this film forward; we can watch Ganz twitch his fingers behind his back only so much, so what? A piece of schmaltz like this needs at least a bit of a story line, a strong dynamic continuity between these oversize personalities.Why always all the focus on one man, Hitler? Hitler didn't do it alone. One fanatic doesn't make a Reich.It took a complaisant,comfort-zone seeking multitude for backing. Joseph Kennedy who lusted to be President was an arch anti-semite and was ready to back Hitler. So much regurgitated maundering about one little man.Where is the movie about the 12 million native Americans genocided out of existence, or the movie about the wholly genocided Tasmanians? And who today would be the one in a thousand to resist fascism when it crushes and lures?
Is the review positive or negative?
