Conspiracy (2001)

This movie is a chilling account of the meeting that occured on January 20th 1942 to discuss the final solution of the Jewish question. It's a haunting film to watch, and I have to say, a very important one to watch. One of the main reasons this film is so chilling to watch is that we see men talking openly about how to commit mass murder without any signs of remorse. The film chronicles the top secret meeting at Wannsee of top Nazi officials to discuss a means for Hitler's final answer to the Jewish question. What followed in the next hour of the meeting was a polite meeting with little debate and an evil intent. Conspiracy is a chilling account of that meeting. The film is a must watch for history buffs, and is sometimes hard to watch, but it is a very important film to watch. The cast involved do a phenomenal job at portraying these men of the third Reich who discussed and planned the mass murder of over Six million Jews. Kenneth Branagh portrays General Renhard Heydrich, second command of the SS and Stanley Tucci as Colonel Adolf Eichmann. Both actors portray these men as they were, evil. Both actors have no sense of remorse, and they feel cold blooded on screen, which they are able to pull off because they're incredibly talented actors. In the film they discuss of means of extermination, primitive to start, and even more elaborate by the end of the meeting. By the meetings close, they've decided that they will be gassing Jews in specially built shower rooms. Conspiracy is a powerful historical account of one of the greatest crimes ever devised. If you want to watch a film that goes deeper into the planning of this horrible crime, then give this one a view. This is a definite must see film for historical buffs, and could be maybe considered as necessary viewing material in history class. The film overall is a solid drama and with terrific acting, and a great script, this is a film that sheds a lot more light on the planning of the Holocaust. This film is based on the only surviving document of the January 20th 1942 meeting where 15 Nazi officials planned the unthinkable. A hard, but necessary film to watch.
