Hello,
I don't know about you people who live outside of America, but recently in America, we had Hitler miniseries shown on CBS, I think.
This is for these people who had watched it.
Here's my comment.
It sucks. Yes, it sucks big time.
I only watched the first part of miniseries. I lost interest after that. Really, on whole, the Hollywood's historical dramas aren't too great.
I thought Hitler was not properly protrayed. I felt that the miniseries attempted to show that the enivronment was the main influence in deciding Hitler's characteristics and flaws. The child was protrayed as a bad boy born evil rather than a child actually deciding to protest or rebel against his parents.
Hitler was shown as a shy and sort of naive in scheming the political events. In fact, if I remember correctly, Hitler was charismatic and clever in his line of reasoning and political intrigues. He was not naive, he exploited the misery of Germans greatly.
In short, I did feel it stupid to even try and understand Hitler's mind or any evil person's as well. I do honestly believe it is quite simple -- they made choices that were evil and did a great deal of harm to us. The environment or a bad childhood may have some influences, but they were not and shouldn't be considered as decisive factors in deciding a person's traits or personality.
Hitler decided to be evil, and I just wish that Hollywood or people in general would stop trying to blame his evilness on the other things.
Anyway, I skipped the second part so I could just watch the Fox Network's "24" season finale, which was way better than Hitler miniseries. I was surprised that the President was finally assassinated after going through all of that trouble -- being ousted by his Cabinet and having a nuclear bomb set off in the deserts of Nevada (I think) after it was discovered by Jack Bauer. Oh man, I can't wait for a third season of "24". It's a great TV series worthy of my respect. All "24" episodes were tense and full of suspense....oh man, it was real fun!
