The Film Thread

Nuremberg. A decent account of Göring's relationship with Kelley. However, there are some powerful messages from the movie that resonate today;

Charismatic leaders and their narratives can seize power and manipulate people into creating scapegoats. The ease with which fascism can re-emerge is a key concern, urging viewers to recognize and resist similar ideologies in the present day.

The film serves to ensure that the events and their lessons are not forgotten. It is an "urgent call to stand up to fascism" by remembering what happened and acknowledging that such evils "can happen again".

Personalities capable of such atrocities could be found anywhere in the world and would not be easily identifiable by a specific appearance or a "scary uniform" the next time a similar threat arose.

Future demagogues or authoritarians would likely appear as ordinary businessmen or politicians, manipulating emotions and exploiting divisions among people to gain power, much like the Nazis had done.
I thought it was excellent. And Goering comes across as quite a nice bloke, which is of course the whole point.
 
Saw The Housemaid at the cinema the other day.

Clever, clever plot.

If thrillers are your thing it’s a highly recommended.
