In Reply to: Judgment At Nuremberg. posted by TAFKA Steve on July 13, 2001 at 06:16:47:
Must have been the same broadcast we watched, and I started a brief discussion of the justice done there on the outside - you might want to visit it, as some guys made interesting points.The mark of a great film is that no matter now many times you watch it it keeps producing strong impact. In that respect the Judgement is wearing off for me. Every time I watch it I notice more imperfection, and the last time it looked almost plywood in some spots. Some acting stiff and not too convincing.
Still - a VERY important film, simply perhaps that the movie-making part was secondary to the subject. The shocking documentaty footage that I must have seen thousand times before remains shocking and the main thrust - razor sharp.
And as far as the exit music... I can't say enough. I once recorded it on a cassette and even without a film it was bone chilling. My wife would not want it in the house, so I gave it to a friend of mine, who lost it.
That music has the strongest emotional effect, and given the recent discussion in Music Lane I guess some folks would not see anything wrong with playing it over the Israeli radio on Sunday morning. I certainly don't see it that way.
It seems to me that the music part was shorter in that broadcast - do you think so? Seemed to be about a half of what I recall, or am I simply getting old?
All in all, I am glad that film was made and is still shown. I hope it will continue being shown and it must be a mandatory viewing for the young - perhaps during those oh-so-short-and-only-getting-shorter hours allocated to WWII in most American schools.
