Console best movie i've ever seen.

Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Kirpianuscus to define this film is only a problem of choice. to select the historical accuracy or the artistic virtues. because are two different aspects. and this is not real surprising. to give a good show, the sacrifice of truth, with its not comfortable aspects about earl years of Hussein regime must be ignored. for give a seductive story, the perfect model is the historical plays of Shakespeare. to impose a great show, to use the white and black impose to ignore the nuances. result - a film about power and about corruption, crimes and comfortable personal life - with few small storms - of a dictator. a chronicle of family who could be more a parable than a docudrama.

American_Delight "House of Saddam" covers a quarter century of the Iraqi dictator's ruthless rule over his people. The filmmakers play it straight: they depict the political and historical developments the way Saddam was believed to have viewed them--that Kuwait was unfair and foolish to have increased oil production in the late 1980s/early 1990s, that the Iraqi government believed it had received private assurances from the U.S. ambassador to Iraq that Americans would not interfere with an Iraqi-Kuwaiti conflict, and that Iraq was a world hero standing alone athwart the frightening menace of post-revolutionary Iran.Although the film lets Saddam Hussein speak for himself without interjecting serious voices of political opposition, the mini-series does not excuse or minimize Saddam's villainy or extreme paranoia. Saddam murders his enemies, and at times renders even shabbier treatment to those closest to him. Saddam kills his best friend to demonstrate his ability to be tough. Saddam cashiers his own half brother, head of his personal security, in favor of an ambitious ruffian from Saddam's father's family. He arranged the murder of his wife's brother and his daughters' husbands.What gives "House of Saddam" panache is the luxurious production values, the soapy melodrama of the family (Uday's serial addictions, Saddam's love affair with his future second wife, the plucky austerity of Saddam's mother), and casting actors who are sexier and more stylish than the real people they played. This is how history should be told—with personality and flare.

I only wish there were more episodes in it-it was really captivating!the acting is genius,especially the actress Amber Rose Revah. she is amazing!!

shawnr-5 There are still some people out there that love Saddam because he was "such a good and brave man". I'm glad that this mini-series was produced so people around the world can see the true face of Saddam Hussein: an evil tyrant not only to his own people but also to his family and every human being that he saw as a threat. The sad part is that not all people that became his victims were actually a threat to him: Saddam viewed them as a threat because of his sick mind.If you want to see the real Saddam and discover the truth, I recommend this mini-series for you to see!10/10 - A mini-series about Saddam Hussein and his family and close friends, about the Iraq-Iran war, the invasion of Kuwait and other real life historical accurate events. It also contains entertainment & drama and you can also learn history at the same time!
