...what IŽve seen I have liked a lot, as it depicts the banality of evil (Hannah Arendt coined that in her book "Eichmann in Jerusalem", and I find it to be a really well chosen expression: those bastards were never great, never exceptional, just banal people doing a lot of evil from their bloody banality...) extremely well, and maybe if you look at this film through these glasses youŽll find more merit in it.My suspect is that Bruno Ganz chose his way of acting in order to enhance, through its apparent dullness, this banality factor, as a much needed counterpoint to other films depicting AH and his bunch as people over the top as masters of evil.
Anyhow, IŽll see it asap, and will come back with some comments.

No no I tried to look through this glasses to no use. I think one just want to see what he is able to see, or better said what he wants to see.
I think that is what happen modtly to you, Bernardo. You project yourself too positively on the screen. Me certainly too negativly, he-he...
The whole ensemble, the pieces of the puzzle that is what one should aimed for.
And yet this banality is the most horrible, entwisted with the routine, of what we can bring up as living being.
BG made a very bad show. Just a caricature with human touch. He is wrong on the two accounts.
As for the figure of Goebels....The most laughable stupidity I ever saw.
Curiously he only start to hink at the end of the film...
