Rating movies about nazi germany I have watched

First of all, I want to make it clear that this isn't a professional review, it's only my opinion

I liked the proposal of the story being centered around a nazi family and the younger boy befriending a jew, but all of that goes down the drain due to the multiple historical inaccuracies: the children learned about nazism very early, so there is no way bruno would have been that innocent. Also, concentration camps wasn't of that much easy access. The appeal to emotion instead of actually building a deep plot also sucks. 5/10

I absolutely adored this movie, the plot is so deep, the construction around the persecution of Liesel's parents, her relationship with her adoptive parents, the brotherhood she had with the jew hiding in their house, her tough but sweet personality, her desire for knowledge. It was all so beautifully orchestrated, and also the historical accuracy>>>>>> 10/10

This movie will always be a classic for me. The way they portrayed nazis as they were, human, vulnerable, with a distorted view of the world but still seeking what they thought was the best. How they went deep down into the life in the bunker, the despair and hopelessness they felt. Also, the way they portrayed Eva Braun>>>> how she tried to sugarcoat everything not to suffer, how she threw parties in the hallway of death, how even in a desperate situation the greatest joy of her life was to marry the terrible man she fell in love with and was blindly loyal too. Everything is so heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. Also, the historical accuracy is just a delight. 1000/10

This is a true punch in the gut. The terrible way he lost his family, the inhuman life he lived in the guetto, his part in the warsaw guetto riot, how he kept his beautiful talent immaculate till the end, when he lost the love of his life and had to see her married, the hunger, mistreating and fear that were a part of his daily life, his brave survival. Everything about this movie is truly sad. 9/10

I won't even talk much about this one. I start it laughing and finished it on the verge of crying. It is funny, heartbreaking, the perfect mix between comedy and tragedy, the true definition of bittersweetness. 100/10

Following the same road of the last one, there's this piece of art. It had everything to go wrong, but it went beautifully. They made something outrageous turn out funny without being offensive, and yet made a deep, tragic and beautiful story. The underlying romance between that ex-soldier and his assistant, the way jojo changed his mentality gradually, and his absurd view of hitler. It was surprisingly very historically accurate, but Im still confused about: how was jojo not sent to an orphanage after his mother died? How did he survive on his own? Anyways, this was a negative point for me, but still love it. 50/10

Okay, I absolutely love this one, but hate to death how they slipped over such simple aspects, like Hitler's personality. They made him hit a dog when in fact he defended animal's rights, they made him not give a shit about his mom being ill when in fact he loved her dearly. They changed his personality to make him seem even more evil. But, I also have plenty of positive points to talk about. I rarely see movies portraying Hitler's early life the way this one did, and how he ascended gradually to power. I love this miniseries deeply for getting into details about his whole life. They even aborded his abusive relationship with his niece. I can almost forgive the outrageous innacuracy with the characters and the altering of some details (how he earned his iron cross, how he met eva braun, how he treated fuschl), and I love it despite its defects. It also has some iconic scene: the bar fight, the munich beer hall putch, the trial. I wish I could give a 1000/10, but because of its innacuracies im giving it a 500/10

Nazis getting brutally slaughtered. Do I really have to say anything else? Also, Hans Landa>>>>>>>> ∞/10

How would you rate the hitler movie out of 10 though? 10 being "would love to watch this again" 0 being "i would burn it." The answer can be as long as you want :o

ok this may be weird but it's a solid 5/10

Here's why it was good:

Robert Carlyle does the role remarkably. Like, this is Gaz from The Full Monty, playing Hitler. He did so well and it's an insult to his talent to not commend him. Same goes to Thomas Brodie-Sangster. He was a child! And he did the role so, so well.

They aren't 'biased.' Yes, every movie about Hitler can't be impartial. But, they were damn well near it. They showed us tragedy and the bad things that happened him, and, yes, it's slightly marketed as 'this is why he did this,' but at the same time, it's just shows you a bloke who can't catch a break.

It shows you that Hitler wasn't the only bad one. It's easy for people to sit there and blame Hitler for everything, but that isn't entirely true. Ernst Rohm, General Ludendorff. Etc etc. they were all corrupt, evil people who helped Hitler.

It almost shows you why people liked him. Yes, it shows us this psychotic little man with too much power and daddy issues, but it also shows you that he was convincing, and persuasive, and a good public speaker.

It's historically accurate. I'm a history nerd, I studied Hitler and that's why I watched the movie. It shows what he did and how he got there, before he even started persecuting the Jewish people. We linger so much on how he became an evil dictator, but how did he get there? How did Germany allow someone like him to get there? He did it properly, democratically, since the Munich Putsch didn't work.

Here's why it wasn't good:

Everyone in the film was British or American. I know, like, that was intended... But it ruined it for me. Like, there was a man standing there ranting about German nationalism in a Scottish accent.

It was a bit long. For those of you who don't know, Hitler: The Rise of Evil, is split into two parts. The full watch time amounts to over three hours. The first movie is an hour and 29 minutes. You just get bored, and maybe that's my attention span... But, you know.

He's a bit too shouty. Every account I've ever seen appeared like Hitler slowly started showing his true, psycho self... He was normal at the start. The film, however, tells us that he was crazy and showed it from the start.

You can't take it seriously when you have the guy from The Full Monty playing Hitler. Maybe that's just me, but it's funny...

It's about Hitler. Enough said.

Things about history that could be upsetting to people under the cut;

something i find interesting is in 'hitler: the rise of evil' they portray hitler as a psycho from childhood. less than 2 minutes into the movie and he's already acting as if he's a psychotic murderer. He's like 4.

I'm not denying that he was a psycho, and probably was from like a young age... But to that extent??

It also shows us the fact that he isn't anti-semitic until, really, he was rejected from art school. Yes- well known

They also, sort of, make you feel for the character. He fucked up, he was homeless (yes, a racist fuck but there's an element of aww sad in there- i am absolutely not pro-hitler!) and shit... He was, like, relatively normal, a lil awkward. The only cruelty I've noticed thus far is beating Foxl.

Idk, just something to think about you know...

Movies don't always reflect life.
