Focussed,
By S.H. (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hitler in Colour (DVD)
A study of the man and his villainy. One of the best explorations of the character this amateur historian has seen - many important quotations utilized, which have heretofor not been plundered.Well worth viewing.

Third Reich, humanized,
By Wayne Engle "Wayne Engle" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Hitler in Colour (DVD)
Adolf Hitler and the people of the Third Reich are seen here as we've never seen them before -- not only in color, but laughing, clowning, having a good time.Well, the German people were, anyway. Hitler always seemed to be too aware of his position as the stern, implacable warlord to loosen up whenever he even suspected a camera was focused on him. To see Der Fuehrer smile, laugh or appear even moderately light-hearted, you have to watch for the moment when he happens to be looking partially away from the camera, to have momentarily forgotten its presence. There is one scene where he chats briefly with a group of German children, giving one pretty little blonde girl a hug. But it's shot from a short distance and his face is partially hidden. I've seen still photos, candid ones, of Adolf Hitler interacting with children, who seem to be relaxed and happy in his presence. Look at those photos, and read reminiscences of people who were close to Hitler, and you'll find out, probably to your amazement, that yes, the "most evil man in history" was fond of children. "Hitler In Colour" does give us a much more "human" look at the German people of the Third Reich era, showing them at work and play (although footage of smiling children giving the Nazi salute are admittedly unsettling.) Normal human interactions and the underlying evil of the Nazi era often were overlaid, one on the other. This DVD is very illuminating for those who have until now only seen fading black and white movies of the Hitler era. It is an experience not to be missed. 41 of 46 people found the following review helpful

Very Well Done,
By Akinaw Bulcha - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hitler in Colour (DVD)
A very good overview of one of the most intriquing moments in world history. Good dramatic effect, voice-overs, etc. Good blend of entertainment, history, and analysis. Includes the diaries of numerous persons: Hitler's pilot, Hitler himself, Jews, Germans, Soldiers and Eva Braun (Hitler's mistress). Lots of interesting color footage.

All-Color Footage Makes History of Hitler Look New,
By Jack Shatter - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hitler in Colour (DVD)
I have seen many a documentary about the rise and fall of Adolph Hitler and Nazi Germany,but this recent one, in blazing color, narrated by actor Brian Cox, is one of the very best. The bright and splendid color brings this familiar but still frightening story out of the past and makes it appear to be happening TODAY. It is stunning to see the red Nazi banners with swastikas billowing throughout old Berlin. For a moment you realize how it would feel to actually BE there (for me a terrifying sensation-- the people running things were NAZIS)! It is striking to see nude Eva Braun doing gymnastics by a lake, and then with the typically serious-looking Fuhrer, receiving top Nazi guests at the utterly pleasant-looking Obersalzberg. You get a chance to see the actual hues of Third Reich uniforms on the happy-looking visitors. There is remarkable footage of Hitler charming famous British politician Lloyd George into believing that Germany is no threat to world peace. We also see Hitler demonstrating the might of his armed forces to that less successful dictator, Mussolini. When Hitler attacks Poland, the realism of the color footage makes you feel that you are THERE, and it's chilling. The conflagration of World War Two in Europe, and the Holocaust, is clearly presented in much hitherto-unseen footage. Brian Cox narrates the events in an understandable flow. German actors read the arrogant and hateful words of Hitler, Goebbels, and other "Master Race-ists." When they are finally squashed, after 50 million dead, I for one wondered, what is to be learned from this incredible calamity? Maybe it's-- always be skeptical of those people to whom you give power! |
