Nuremberg (2025)

Watched it yesterday. Russell Crowe and Rami Malek were both awesome as usual. I liked it.
SPOILER ALERT: Just curious to see, from anyone else who has seen it, what your take on the ending was. Was it political? Was it directed at the Right or the Left?
Rami Malek's character was ignored by the American media and populous when he said "there are people like this in every society. There are people who will walk over half the corpses in a country to rule the other half". I kind of feel some of that now in America. I personally think it is coming from the left (***see recent attempted assassination of our President***).
Curious to see others' take on this who have seen the movie.

Malek was atrocious. Just completely miscast in this role.
Crowe was great.
It was a pretty average paint by numbers movie with a great performance from Crowe that elevated it and a bad performance from Malik that did not

What about it did you take as political?

Crowe was excellent in this. Rest of the film was fine, but would have preferred to see more about the actual trial itself, and felt like they took creative liberties in places.

Radio Show Moderator: I have to be honest, Dr. Kelley. I find some of the conclusions in your book quite unbelievable. You were dealing with the Nazis, who you must admit are unique people.
Douglas Kelley: They are not unique people. There are people like the Nazis in every country in the world today.
Radio Show Moderator: Not in America.
Douglas Kelley: Yes, in America. Their personality patterns are not obscure. There are people who want to be in power. And while you say they don't exist here, I would say I'm quite certain there are people in America who would willingly climb over the corpses of half the American public if they knew they could gain control of the other half.
Radio Show Moderator: Doctor, please.
Douglas Kelley: They stoke hatred. It's what Hitler and Göring did, and it is textbook. And if you think the next time it happens we're going to recognize it because they're wearing scary uniforms, you're out of your damn mind.
i'm sure he is referring to this piece which was awkwardly shoehorned in at the end to bonk viewers over the head, once again, with "conservatives = Nazis"

Absolutely. Trying to foreshadow the McCarthy years (and, by extension, Trump).

Thought it was a great movie. Really enjoyed it. Didn’t think it was overly political at the end at all and could have described both of our political parties.

Agreed. I thought it was inevitably going to get a lot more political, but all things considered I thought it did a good job at least not getting too heavy handed with it.

A lot of ways that could go, and a lot of them could go for the better without putting people in concentration camps. Not taking out the father figure in the Black community for political reasons is a start, but we don’t have a Time Machine, so here we are in 2026 and fatigue is the new buzzword right now because it’s the truth.

I mean…that was the conclusion of the man’s book. And I believe his conclusions are correct. Given the right set of circumstances, people like Hitler and his Nazi thugs can rise again.

I watched it this weekend. Russell Crowe was excellent, imo, but Remi Malek’s stylistic acting choices were distracting.
I havent seen him in enough to know if the kind of weird, affected, chin in the air thing is his stamp on a role, or what. It worked with Freddie, not so much with this character.
The scene where he confronts Goring right before the trial is pretty intense. I think Crowe’s presence carried it.
I found the drunken rambling at the end to be politically charged/slanted, and it’s interesting they had him espouse these things while drunk and being discredited.

It isn't.
Humanity has the capacity for the greatest good but also the greatest evil. Adolf Hitler and the Nazis didn't come out of nowhere. They were the climax of decades of resentment, suspicion, fear, and jingoism. They came at the exact right time in history and played on the fears of the German people, who were predisposed to follow authoritarian figures. The psychology is present in each and every one of us. It just requires the right set of circumstances to bubble up to the surface.
The men who followed Hitler weren't born psychopaths. They were doctors, lawyers, scientists, and professors. Most were every day blue collar workers just like you and me. They got caught up in the Nazi rhetoric, wanted to be part of something bigger than themselves, and were guided to a place beyond morality.
It can happen again.

I was a bit worried going in. Most of the reviews I read were the movie was 'meh' at best.
I am a history nut, and really like the European Theatre of World War II. So I was very interested to see it. I have watched it twice since it came out. While not fantastic, it was good. I thought the acting, storyline, etc., was very well done.

Who here remembers how ‘vaccinated’ Americans treated ‘unvaccinated’ fellow Americans during the covid years?
I remember.

I will get around to watching it but I am not a fan of Malek at all.

Crowe was fantastic.
Malik overacted several of his scenes.
