OK, watching die hard

Edit: just finished. Hadn't seen it probably since it came out. Pretty good flick! Now might have to watch the sequels.

Watched a movie last night called Weapons. It was pretty good.

Witchcraft, but a different perspective, kept you thinking.

Finally took the time to watch the movie Nuremberg last night. At 2 1/2 hours long time availability was an important factor in determining when to watch it.

Over all since it is supposedly based on real accounts of the events I would have to say that the did a good job presenting it. I was not aware of or ready to watch the actual film footage that was used, that was some absolutely Horrible stuff to see. I know about what happened but to watch bulldozers moving a 5 foot high pile of human remains around like that was not a part of what I did know.

I recorded Judgment at Nuremberg on TCM to watch when my daughter comes next week. Right after was a documentary Filmmakers forvthe Prosecution about the film crews whose job it was to document the horrors of the camps. There was a film shown on PBS, Memory of the Camps, by the Brits that Alfred Hitchcock directed some of that I left no doubt.

Right after was a documentary Filmmakers forvthe Prosecution about the film crews whose job it was to document the horrors of the camps.

I watched the Filmmakers for the Prosecution film. It's about the film evidence that was used in the Nuremburg trials. After the trial the footage was supposed to be released as a documentary to the public. The Russian film team actually released a documentary first. But the politics of the time of the trials - Russia was "our friend" to after the Berlin airlifts to when Russia was our enemy the politics of them being in the film caused the US to never release it. The filmmaker and the chief justice at the trial wanted it to be a lesson film but the military that owned the film didn't so it was put away. The filmmakers daughter found and has since restored it and released it - the title is "Nuremberg Its lLesson For Today".

Overall the footage in this film was less disturbing that in "Memory of the Camps" but still quite disturbing. The prosecution team decided that showing that Germans in cahoots very early on would strengthen their case and eventually put their whole prosecution on that evidence - film and still photos. They had US film but were not allowed to use it - the fear that the defense would claim it was tampered with. So they were required to search the archives in all of Germany and other parts of Europe for actual film from German sources. One was of a mass grave with a sluice and the German soldiers sliding bodies into the pit with a photographer filming it. The point was "there's no hiding that you didn't know because you documented it".

It's not available on any of the streaming services yet. I think it has been more than 7 years since I have been to a movie theater to see a movie.
