Nuremberg 2025 starring Russell Crowe and others.

Anyone see the ads for this? They have some huge shoes to try and fill with Judgement at Nuremberg being one of the greatest performances ever by the German lawyer (I forget his name, the movie is from 1961 but he was phenomenal).

This movie will probably focus more on Goring than the trial details itself (and the very powerful message the 1961 made about human rights and decisions that make some men become most evil).

I look forward to it and I don't normally care for new releases very often.

Yes, but my post was specifically about a new movie which is entirely different, not a remake per se.

The 1961 movie is excellent. One of the most captivating to me anyways.

Hopefully, the new one will be shorter and less propagandistic.

I want to see the real thing with Fauci and Mayorkas.

Since this new movie doesn't really seem to deal with the trials directly, unlike Judgement at Nuremberg starring Spencer Tracy and Maximilian Schell, I'd say they have no shoes to fill.

The real life psychiatrist, Douglas Kelley, played in this film by Rami Malek, committed suicide years later.

​

Kelley committed suicide in front of his wife, father and oldest son on New Year's Day 1958 during a family gathering to watch the Rose Bowl game on television. He ingested potassium cyanide as had Nazi leader Hermann Göring, whom Kelley had come to know during his psychiatric evaluation at Nuremberg. According to Psychology Today, Kelley was an alcoholic and despondent by that time and had a "history of dark moods"; he had also expressed admiration "for Göring’s control over his own death". ​

​

Neither his son nor wife could shed light on the motivation for the suicide. In an interview, son Doug Kelley recounted the circumstances: "He was cooking dinner, burned himself and exploded. The next thing we knew, he was on the stairs saying he was going to swallow the potassium cyanide and that he'd be dead in 30 seconds". He did as threatened and died in the bathroom, leaving no suicide note.​

Perhaps working with such dark souls wore him down over time. What a horrible time to live knowing what was committed by men.

On the recommendation of some neighbors, I went to see the Nuremberg film this afternoon.

It focuses on the communications and relationship between an Army psychiatrist and Hermann Goering, in the run-up to the unprecedented, legally tenuous trials of the highest ranking surviving members of the Nazi regime. His assigned task was to get to know Goering (and a few others) in order to help the prosecuting attorney(s) pursue their case.

Goering is portrayed as a narcissistic egomaniac and a genius, who could likely explain away the accusations with his intellect and sophistication if given a chance at the trial. In a perverse and limited way, the two of them become friends, and the Shrink actually develops a cordial(+) relationship with Goering's wife and daughter, in the process of transmitting letters between them. We all know how it ends (I presume).

I was not a fan of the casting (I hate phony foreign accents), but the story is well-presented and it is worthwhile knowing. You certainly get your money's worth; it's about 140 minutes by my reconning.

Given the other crap that floods the movie screens these days, this one is not bad. Worth the cost of a matinee.
