Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
ericho hayes (erichohayes) Love the movie,, amazing, seems genuine. apparently did the best they could with the one surviving minutes left by dr luther , i think.
alihandemiral Eerily tense but remarkable, "Conspiracy" potrays a moment in history that has not been given enough attention. Although Nuremburg laws, Wannsee Conference and Nuremburg trials are always talked about in history, the meeting that connects these three often goes unmentioned.Kenneth Branagh's and Stanley Tucci's portrayals of their characters are phenomenal and the thrill and uncanniness of the subject of the meeting stays with the audience till the very end when the credits roll. An astonishing picture.
Lee Holland The film documents a meeting held during WW2, when SS second-in-command, Reinhard Heydrich, assembles a group of Nazis to discuss the final solution of the Jewish question. The Wannsee conference is held in a German country house in snowy Berlin, the Nazis sit around a table for most of the film, occasionally getting for drinks, while enjoying buffet lunch. The debate is whether to execute the Jews or sterilise the Jews, discussing what method is the most efficient/effective option of eliminating the entire Jewish race.There were mant attendees including : Reinhard Heydrich, Otto Hofmann, Heinrich Müller, Karl Eberhard Schöngarth, Gerhard Klopfer, Adolf Eichmann, Dr. Rudolf Lange, Dr. Georg Leibbrandt, Dr. Alfred Meyer, Dr. Josef Bühler, Dr. Roland Freisler, Dr. Wilhelm Stuckart, Dr. Wilhelm Stuckart, Erich Neumann, Friedrich Wilhelm Kritzinger and Martin Luther. The range of attendees symbolises the various natures of the Nazi culture.During in the deep discussions that are going on round the table, Heydrich proposes methods of how to exterminate the whole race, he proposes sterilisation or execution. Heyrdrich reveals that some of the execution methods are already in place; like the gas vans, this surprises some of the attendees that are round theb table who start to doubt the regime, however the people who are not totally sure on what should happen to the Jews are threatened lightly by Heydrich to make up their minds. Some parts of the film are very comical using language to provoke certain feeling and to interact with the reader.However there is very limited evidence to support what happened at the Wannsee conference therefore some of this information in the film could be unreliable, but it does create a very good sense of personalities and views towards the Jews at the time conveying that it was a one way journey for the Jewish race and that only one thing was going to happen to them.Overall this film, conspiracy, in my opinion is very good in portraying people's views in the Nazi party and that there were a diversity of opinions towards what was going to happen. However it is quite a short film therefore it will not give the viewer a full sense of what the conference was like.
Emma Osborne Even-though most of the film is set around the table of the conference the content of what the different views from the variation of characters made a lot of effect on the films overall purpose. the characters were also quite clear and their views for what the Germans decided to do with the Germans. For example Colin firth played an opposing character which was surprising to see in a meeting of people from the Nazi party. I also liked how the meeting stayed loyal to Nazis belief and even if people a member of the conference was to oppose suggestions given to get rid of the Jews , it was purely for political reasons and there inst any point throughout the conference when any attendees of the conference deny that Jews are an inferior race. however although the context within the conference stays quite reliable and historically correct. what happens outside of the conference is just poetic license which I think lessens the effect of what happens whilst the conference is going on . as rumours are spread and some minor characters of personality is shown which I think is a bit pointless to the bigger picture of the films storyline and doesn't hold a lot of reference to the points and arguments that have actually been made in the conference, except from giving the audience a bit more clues to how the people in the conference thought about it other and who didn't or did get along which does help to understand why certain point are made in the conference. and the scenes that take place with the attendees outside the conference does brake up the conference and gives a more interesting way to look at the characters and their personal beliefs.
