Hollywood: New horizons in TDS
American thinker ^

Posted on 11/12/2025 7:26:26 AM PST by DIRTYSECRET

Adolf Hitler was trying to Make Germany Great Again.

Rami Malek, representing all the Egyptian-Americans who fought for the U.S. during WW II. When asked to explain why he followed Hitler, Goering replies: “He made us feel German again… Along comes a man who says, ‘we can reclaim our former glory.’ Would you not follow a man like this?”

A review quoted in the trailer reads, “Nuremberg is thrilling and urgent. More relevant than ever.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

The writer is telling us not to go see it. First of all Russell Crowe is very good-good to see it for that reason alone. Malek is good too.

One leftist reviewer says it's 'more relevant than ever', and could happen again. Not-so subtle accusations directed at Trump. Another brings up the antisemitism issue with the young republicans who made stupid social media remarks-had to throw in Tucker too but no mention of Columbia University.

This is what the left is and boycotting the movie is silly. All leftists should see it and the WH should give its opinion on what Hollywood is trying to project. Just remember all art is political and we're being played.

The movie is very teachable to a younger generation that didn't know who Goering was. The trick is to get them to sit through the 2 and a half hours.

Joe Bob says check it out.

Crowe talks in the recent Joe Rogan interview about playing Hermann Goering and how
nuanced the man was...it was quite interesting. I will go see it because I am fascinated by
WWII history and Russel Crowe is one of my favorite actors. Organized mass boycotts
are a leftist tactic and Conservatives should not mimic them.

I’ve always liked Crowe, he’s not the typical liberal douchebag.

Of course it’s gonna have Trump undertones it’s Hollyweird for goodness sake’s, I’d be shocked if it didn’t. Plus I really like RC and RM. I’ll watch and judge for myself.

I liked the movie. I thought they handled things in a surprisingly even-handed way. Yes, with a little effort, you can perceive a slight slap at Trump, but it’s barely there. If they wanted to say “Trump is a Nazi” they really should have tried a lot harder. So, I consider it pleasantly neutral.

I think the big lesson is that people are always flawed. We are made that way. We do bad things. We follow bad leaders. Afterwards, we may say “Never Again”, but it always happens again. We just keep making the same mistakes.

Goering scores key points by pointing out simple truths that much of what the Nazis were accused of doing, was exactly the same as what the Allies were doing. Moral superiority is in the eyes of the beholder. The big difference — of course — was the death camps. Six million Jews, and millions of non-Jews killed by the government. The Allies did not do that, only the Nazis. That, in the end, was the real crime of the Nazis. But without the Holocaust, the Nazi Regime starts to look like a whole lot of other authoritarian governments. I don’t know how many viewers will interpret the movie that way, but that’s how I saw it: Big Government does Bad Things. All the time. Everywhere.

Also when the world mostly ignored The Armenian Genocide, that convinced Hitler that eliminating the Jews wasn’t all that big of a deal.

Absolutely. People do people things. The Jewish Holocaust was unquestionably bad — but it was not a new thing. It was not unique. The Armenian Genocide, Stalin’s Holodomor, Rwanda, Mao’s Great Leap — these things happened either before Hitler or After Hitler. We just keep doing the same bad things. And most of the time, the Bad Leaders get away with it, which makes the next Guy think he can also get away with it.

The difference is, we have all of the images of the Nazi Holocaust seered into our collective consciousness.
