What makes it different from others?

Good concept, poorly executed.

Dreadfully Boring

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Love the movie,, amazing, seems genuine. apparently did the best they could with the one surviving minutes left by dr luther , i think.

Here's the short version: watching Conspiracy is like drinking molten lead.Conspiracy is an almost flawless portrayal of naked evil being done by powerful men, each of whom has lost or abandoned his moral compass. It is dry, withering, completely transparent, all too believable-not merely because we know it's all true. We know that there are powerful men and women alive today who are willing to do blasphemously wrong things like killing 6 million Jews.Conspiracy dramatizes the Wannsee Conference that first officially articulated the Final Solution for the Jews of Europe. Stanley Tucci as SS Major Adolph Eichmann, Kenneth Branagh as Hitler's Chief of Security Reinhard Heydrich, Colin Firth as Dr. Wilhelm Stuckart (a lawyer who wrote the racist Nuremberg Laws), and 12 others show how it was probably done-almost without passion--around a long conference table in a manor house outside Berlin. One of the participants failed to destroy his copy of the minutes. This surviving document was used in the post-WWII Nuremberg Trials.Conspiracy is frightening, horrifying, and disgusting. It is a perfection of the evil that men can do. The antidote for watching it is simple: do a good thing every day.Read more of my reviews here richardsubber.com

Although I believe this film gave an insight on Nazi Germany and the different possible viewpoints that contributors may have had, it is hard to separate the facts from the fiction. Therefore, I do not believe it should be used on an educational and informative basis. However I do believe that the actors within the film successfully described the typical personalities of the different characters and therefore this gave a more surprising insight into how the opinions towards the final solution varied.For example Colin firth played an opposing character which was surprising to see in a typical Nazi meeting, as it shows that even members of such a highly authorised group can be outspoken. This came as a surprise to me, and therefore changed the way that I viewed Nazi Germany. However, this does not change my overall negative opinion towards the party, yet the film was interesting enough to challenge my current viewpoints towards specific members of the group. The fact that Hitler isn't physically portrayed in the movie also suggests a viewpoint that he was not as highly dominant as many people encourage. Overall I think that the characters were also quite clear and their views for what the Germans decided to do with the Germans.

The film documents a meeting held during WW2, when SS second-in-command, Reinhard Heydrich, assembles a group of Nazis to discuss the final solution of the Jewish question. The Wannsee conference is held in a German country house in snowy Berlin, the Nazis sit around a table for most of the film, occasionally getting for drinks, while enjoying buffet lunch. The debate is whether to execute the Jews or sterilise the Jews, discussing what method is the most efficient/effective option of eliminating the entire Jewish race.There were mant attendees including : Reinhard Heydrich, Otto Hofmann, Heinrich Müller, Karl Eberhard Schöngarth, Gerhard Klopfer, Adolf Eichmann, Dr. Rudolf Lange, Dr. Georg Leibbrandt, Dr. Alfred Meyer, Dr. Josef Bühler, Dr. Roland Freisler, Dr. Wilhelm Stuckart, Dr. Wilhelm Stuckart, Erich Neumann, Friedrich Wilhelm Kritzinger and Martin Luther. The range of attendees symbolises the various natures of the Nazi culture.During in the deep discussions that are going on round the table, Heydrich proposes methods of how to exterminate the whole race, he proposes sterilisation or execution. Heyrdrich reveals that some of the execution methods are already in place; like the gas vans, this surprises some of the attendees that are round theb table who start to doubt the regime, however the people who are not totally sure on what should happen to the Jews are threatened lightly by Heydrich to make up their minds. Some parts of the film are very comical using language to provoke certain feeling and to interact with the reader.However there is very limited evidence to support what happened at the Wannsee conference therefore some of this information in the film could be unreliable, but it does create a very good sense of personalities and views towards the Jews at the time conveying that it was a one way journey for the Jewish race and that only one thing was going to happen to them.Overall this film, conspiracy, in my opinion is very good in portraying people's views in the Nazi party and that there were a diversity of opinions towards what was going to happen. However it is quite a short film therefore it will not give the viewer a full sense of what the conference was like.
