Conspiracy (2002, DVD)

Movie Description
World War II was beginning to look impossible to win for the Nazi forces in 1942. The entry of the United States into the war coupled with a depleted military gave Germany virtually no chance to emerge victorious. January 20, 1942, a special meeting was held elite Nazi commanders and government officials. From this meeting, Hitler's "final solution" would result, sealing the fate of six million people.

This HBO feature film is based on the only account of this meeting. Kenneth Branagh won an Emmy for his portrayal of General Reinhard Heydrich and Loren Mandel earned an Emmy for his script work on this chilling portrait of this fateful meeting.

      Disturbing emotionally, but need to remember.

    We can not forget. History is repeated, then and now. As we look at the cable news, local news, etc., sometimes we lose perspective on what has been happening throughout history and not have patience and/or understanding on how we repeat history constantly. This movie is an insight into understanding the fear and "brainwashing" that can occur.

      Don't you just love that Heydrich guy?

    Protector of Bohemia and Moravia, but certainly not the protector of humanity. Well, at least that is what the movie is trying to convey, along with other zillions of holocoust documantations emphasizing on the crime against humanity which is clearly dramatized unobjectively.

    Nevertheless, the movie provide excellent 'remake' on the event that started it all. A huge tour the force. The storyboard was cleverly generated from the only copy survived from the Wansee meeting.

    Although it has never really been proven that 6 millions of jews annihilated during the holocoust, yet the dramatizing continues undoubtly serving political advantages to few.

    An excellent movie, in which in my humble opinion: on par with Saving Private Ryan.

      How to control a meeting to achieve your objectives
    Review created: 10/28/07

    The title and review title says it all. I will not restate the preMis of the movie. What is observed is how the agenda and conditions necessary to achieve the unthinkable are realized. How concerned (good?) men are diplomatically & coercively muzzled, how a few others miss the big picture , how a few others remain stuck in their limited understanding and how the majority are prepared to go along and furthermore justify their involvement and support. SHAME SHAME SHAME. Your guts wrench as you watch the meeting evolve and conform to the predetermined conclusion. TRULY ENLIGHTENING IN TODAYS WORLD

    Branagh can do no wrong. Firth is wasted but the most delightful surprise is the still-evolving Stanley Tucci.

    For a person who loves to read or watch shows about the Nazi Period, this is a great DVD. I had the VHS copy when it first came out and purchased this to have a better copy.

    Conspiracy is a well thought out story of what the meeting at Wannsee was all about. Of course having only a outline of what went on at the meeting, I thought the writer did a wonderful job of fleshing out the characters.

    Most people don't realize what the Jews did to Germany. After WWI they were about the only people that had money, and they started to buy up businesses and hire the previous owners to work for them for only minimum pay. It was a bad time in Germany for the true German people. When National Socialism came along it was a rebuilding time for Germany. Germans began to prosper, and when they began to prosper again. Jewish Communism came along to try to keep the people in bondage. Of course the Germans tried to put down this, and succeed in a lot of ways.

    The cast is magnificent, especially the two leads, what was done in 2 hours at that conference will never be forgotten.

    I don't dislike a thing about it, I would recommend it to anyone.
