Hitler: Rise of Evil

Jena Malone is my number one favorite actress, finally got a chance to see the film recently and she's not too bad in it.

The rest of the film? I think it's interesting and for what it focused on seemed fairly accurate.

ED: She's got her classic bad accent though! Ha!

It's a good bit of historical fiction but I wouldn't take it too seriously.

I mean Carlye at some points looks like he's going to grow horns and a lizards tounge. Hitler was a horrible, despicable human being but he's just made to look like an over the top movie villain.

Actually, the film is woefully inacurrate. Ian Kershaw was originally involved, but disassociated himself from the project due to glaring historical errors and genuine make-believe on the part of the writers.

And it was Himmler that was totally omitted, not to mention to complete lack of attention given to the roles Goering, Goebbels, Eckhart, Strasser, and Schleicher played in Hitler's rise; most of that gets attributed to Ernst Hanfstaengl, a relative nonentity.

That aside, it was a fairly entertaining movie. Robert Carlyle was quite good. Peter O'Toole was excellent as the doddering, indecisive Hindenburg.

It was good, could have been better. Robert Carlyle is a great actor, but this movie doesn't show it.

Yeah i thought Hindenburg stole the show in that one, Carlile was better than I thought he would be but Peter O'Toole was excellent-also quite good as the Pope in the Tudors!! ;)
 
Good movie, but you have to realize for entertainment purposes they had to change it around. I would have liked them to go over his childhood even more (Mostly because I am a Tommy Sangster fan!!!)
