It's a good and overlong historical film
25 May 2004
The movie deals about the rising of Hitler profiling his existence as a child and his youthful . Since the early years until he takes over in Reichtag .

It describes his relationship with his lovers , and his decisions and enemies inside Germany and inside the Nazi party and his rise through the ranks of the National German Workers' Party prior to World War II.

In the Putch of Munich in 1923 he rebelled against the government of the Weimar Republic but didn't achieve it.

After that he was condemned to prison where he writes "Mein Kampf" dooming the Jewish race.

Then he obtains the power being helped by Rudolf Hess, Goebbles, Goring , Ludendorff and Rohm.

The performance by Robert Carlyle is good but overacting, Peter Stormare as Rohm is better . Peter O'Toole as Hinderburg is very good.

Stockard Channing's intervention as Hitler's mother is secondary as well as Jena Malone as Geli, the Fuehrer's first love interest.

The motion picture was professionally directed by Christian Duguay.

It's a movie for whose are amused by history but a little bit boring. Rating : Good, well worth watching.
