## Description

Product Description          Robert Carlyle stars as the German dictator during his rise to power in this television miniseries. After spending years as a frustrated artist in Vienna, Adolf Hitler enlists in the German army during the First World War. Embittered by Germany's defeat, Hitler begins his gradual rise to power in the ranks of the newly-formed National Socialist Party. At the same time, he begins a tortured relationship with his half-niece Geli (Jena Malone), and a more stable relationship with the devoted Eva Braun (Zoe Telford). Meanwhile, commentating on the rise of the invigorated Nazi Party is anti-Nazi journalist Fritz Gerlich (Matthew Modine), compelled to record the growing violence in his country as Hitler achieves the Chancellorship in 1933 and begins to drag Germany into the war that will destroy it.             .co.uk Review          Starring Robert Carlyle as the Nazi dictator, Hitler: The Rise of Evil is a lavish made-for-TV two-parter that traces Adolf Hitler's early life, including his boyhood in Austria and impoverished period as a struggling artist in Vienna, culminating in 1934, by which time he had assumed the chancellorship of Germany. We bear witness to the rhetoric, ruthlessness and obsessive determination that propelled him to power, despite the best efforts of opponents like Matthew Modine's campaigning journalist. His inadequate but despotic relationships with women, such as his tragic half-niece Geli Raubal, are also examined.  Carlyle fares very well in what is traditionally considered the invidious task of bringing Hitler to dramatic life, conveying him plausibly as an impenetrably evil man, complex but irredeemable. However, this drama fails to explain just how and why such a pathetic, psychotic, unattractive individual such as Hitler could make such an immediate, profound impression on, for example, Ernst Hanfstangl and his wife Nina (ER's Julianne Margulies). Disproportionate attention is paid to Hitler's relationship to this American-born couple, perhaps as a sop to US audiences. In contrast, the social, cultural and political context of inter-war Germany is skimpily depicted here, making Hitler's ascendancy seem almost absurd. On the DVD: Hitler: The Rise of Evil is, as you would expect, a decent transfer from the TV original, but there are no additional features. --David Stubbs

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Fascinating!
  

*by M***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 May 2020*

Hitler: TROE gives a fascinating insight into the happenings of Adolf Hitler's rise to power from a mere amateur painter on the streets of Vienna to taking power as Chancellor of Germany.The mini-series covers the events from 1899, in which a 10-year old Hitler is beaten by his father, yet beloved by her mother, to his teenage years spent on the streets of Vienna after being rejected by art academies, through his service in WW1 and wounding by poisonous gas, his rise and fall in the 1920s, and subsequent rise in the early 1930s, to August 1934, in which Reichspresident Von Hindenburg dies and Reichschancellor Hitler takes complete power as absolute ruler of Germany.A must-watch for anybody interested in history, I only wish the series had gone on for longer and perhaps detailed Hitler's European designs, i.e. his 1934 Anschluß attempt on an unwilling Austria (Prompting a then-uncooperative Italy to seek alliances with Britain and France), his 1935 retaking of the Saarland and the singing of the Anglo-German Naval Agreement (the preliminary step to Hitler's planned Anglo-German Alliance), the restructuring of the Reichsmarine and Reichswehr into the Kriegsmarine and Wehrmact, respectively, the birth of the Luftwaffe in the mid 1930s.If you ask me, the series should have ran right up to 1939. The 3 hours (approx.) went very quickly, and left me wanting more! I would love a second series detailing Hitler's continued rise from 1934 to 1939, perhaps detailing the events mentioned prior and events of the late 1930s i.e the successful Anschluß and taking of the Sudetenland in 1938 and the taking of the rest of Czechoslovakia in mid 1939, as well as the several assassination attempts of the late 1930s.

    Works as drama and great introduction for students who must study for GCSE
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 March 2018*

Although this works as drama for those interested in the period in history, it works really well to introduce students who do not understand how a man so small and seemingly lacking in quality as Hitler could rise to totally dominate a powerful nation and lead them into a global war in which millions were killed.The facts in a text book or black and white news reel do not capture how step by step, gamble followed by gamble, an astonishing tall house of cards was built up as each individual under-estimated him and eventually feared him with a total fear.Robert Carlyle is a superb actor and especially good in this lead role.Hitler was evil but he was given a platform by others to translate intention into action on an unprecedented scale. It is the shallow end of the swimming pool but that is where you start before the much deeper study in the deep end of history books, primary sources and documentaries.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Inaccurate facts are misleading
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 April 2020*

Carlyle can act, of that there is no doubt, however, in this role he is directed to overplay the part to the point of the ridiculous in some scenes.  There are many basic historical inaccuracies alongside obvious creative additions coming from the imagination of the makers of the film.If you can accept these negative aspects and keep them in mind then the film is watchable entertainment.
