Hitler Speaks

When Adolf Hitler bought Eva Braun a movie camera, to film the people and parties which occurred at their Bavarian retreat, the technology to include synchronized sound had not yet been developed.

So when soldiers discovered Hitler's private home movies, in the Berlin bunker where the Nazi leader took his own life, the tantalizing clips they unearthed, featuring leading members of the SS in a more relaxed mode, remained silent for 60 years.

Now, leading edge lip reading software has enabled German experts to re-voice these films and provide us with a chilling insight into Hitlers private world.

My Comments:
This would have to be one of those movies that you might feel slightly bad about watching but by which you nevertheless feel utterly fascinated.

I mean Hitler represents a very powerful and violent aspect of our planet's history - with repercussions extending till our times. But there are many things we simply do not know about him. What was the sound of his voice? In the countless home movies found after the war - what was he saying to Eva? Etc.

This movie is far from glorifying or glossing over the evils of the day - in fact it answers the above questions as a means to understanding the events in light of a new perspective.
