HITLER: THE RISE OF EVIL


Hitler:

a Canadian TV miniseries in two parts, directed by Christian Duguay and produced by Alliance Atlantis. It explores Adolf Hitler's rise and his early consolidation of power during the years

The Rise of Evil is

after

World War I and focuses on how the embittered, politically fragmented and economically buffeted state of German society following the war made that ascent possible. The film also focuses on Ernst Hanfstaengl's influence on Hitler's rise to power.

The miniseries, which premiered simultaneously in May 2003 on CBC in Canada and CBS in the United States, received two Emmy awards, for Art Direction and Sound Editing.

THE CRUEL - HITLER

The film's subplot follows the struggles of Fritz Gerlich, a German journalist who opposes the rising National Socialist German Workers Party. He is portrayed as to fulfill the essence of the quotation disputably attributed to Edmund Burke, which is displayed at the beginning and at the end of the film

The

opening of the film shows us a montage of Adolf Hitler's life from the years 1899-1907. The 10-year old Hitler (Thomas Sangster) is shown to be arrogant and disobedient. He has a stern, ill-tempered father, Alois Hitler (Ian Hogg), and a doting mother, Klara Hitler (Stockard Channing), who indulges his dreams of becoming a great artist.

One day, his

father dies of a heart attack but the young Hitler shows no empathy or concern. Several years later, a 17year old Hitler (Simon Sullivan) applies unsuccessfully to the Vienna Arts Academy but is told he lacks the talent to become an artist.

Following

his mothers death, he moves to Vienna permanently but is unable to find work and soon becomes destitute and homeless. Influenced by the citys prevalent anti-semitism, young Hitler becomes convinced that the Jews and immigrants are to blame for his misfortunes.

In

1914, the now adult Hitler (Robert Carlyle) leaves Austria for Munich and joins the German army to fight in the First World War. After surviving a major battle, he is promoted to the rank of Corporal but his intense fanaticism and virulent antisemitic and anti-Marxist rhetoric make him unpopular with the other soldiers, who routinely ridicule and ostracize him.

NAZISM

Nazism,

or National Socialism (German: Nationalsozia lismus, the first part pronounced as "Nazi"), is the ideology of the Nazi Party in Germany and related movements elsewhere.It is a variety of fascism that incorporates biological racism and antisemitism.

Nazism developed from the influences of pan-Germanism, the far-right Vlkisch German nationalist movement and the anticommunist Freikorps paramilitary culture which fought against the communists in post-World War I Germany.

Nazism

claimed that an Aryan master race was superior to all other races. To maintain what it regarded as the purity and strength of the Aryan race, Nazis sought to exterminate Jews andRomani, and the physically and mentally disabled.

Nazism

rejected the Marxist concept of class struggle and instead promoted the idea ofVolksgemeinschaft ("people's community"). Nazis wanted to overcome social divisions which they considered artificial; instead, all parts of the racially homogenous society should cooperate for national unity.
