DVD Reviews of Hitler in Colour
DVD Review: Color Film of Hitler Welll Made
Summary: 4 Stars
Hitler In Colour took me by surprise. This is a very well made and tight documentary that will flood your visual senses with REAL color footage mainly focusing on Hitler. This film is less than 90 minutes but I never felt rushed and was emotionally involved from beginning to end.
The film contains two types of narration - the standard type which describes historical events and also readings by actors of diaries and notes written by the German people involved in the war. The readings by actors was a little "weak" in my opinion and took a little away from the film.
Keep in mind that this short film is not a complete look at WW2, but what is does do, it does very well. There are some scenes like those shown in the ghettos of Warsaw that hit me hard and had a lasting impact.
Make sure to check out the extras especially the Video Montages.
DVD Review: Hitler in Color
Summary: 5 Stars
Hitler in Color, is a well done synopsis of Hitler's rise to power and a good behind the scenes look at what went on in Germany during WWII. It is short, less than an hour long, but good for what it does. You get a feel for how things were in Germany during the war, and gain some insight into Hitler's mind.DVD Review: Hitlet's True Colors
Summary: 4 Stars
For a documentary of Hitler, this dvd is top notch. To see the history in color brings the entire Third Reich to a level that makes it real compared to black and white footage. DVD Review: History of a nut
Summary: 5 Stars
There were many pictures I had never seen before and in color it was more like really being there in that time in history.DVD Review: Third Reich, humanized
Summary: 4 Stars
Adolf Hitler and the people of the Third Reich are seen here as we've never seen them before -- not only in color, but laughing, clowning, having a good time.
Well, the German people were, anyway. Hitler always seemed to be too aware of his position as the stern, implacable warlord to loosen up whenever he even suspected a camera was focused on him. To see Der Fuehrer smile, laugh or appear even moderately light-hearted, you have to watch for the moment when he happens to be looking partially away from the camera, to have momentarily forgotten its presence. There is one scene where he chats briefly with a group of German children, giving one pretty little blonde girl a hug. But it's shot from a short distance and his face is partially hidden. I've seen still photos, candid ones, of Adolf Hitler interacting with children, who seem to be relaxed and happy in his presence. Look at those photos, and read reminiscences of people who were close to Hitler, and you'll find out, probably to your amazement, that yes, the "most evil man in history" was fond of children.
"Hitler In Colour" does give us a much more "human" look at the German people of the Third Reich era, showing them at work and play (although footage of smiling children giving the Nazi salute are admittedly unsettling.) Normal human interactions and the underlying evil of the Nazi era often were overlaid, one on the other.
This DVD is very illuminating for those who have until now only seen fading black and white movies of the Hitler era. It is an experience not to be missed.
Description of Hitler in Colour
The producers of the internationally acclaimed and award-winning In Colour DVD series now bring Hitler in Colour, a telling story of the rise and fall of a man who devastated the lives of countless numbers of people around the world. For 12 years, Hitler's overpowering personality dominated the German nation. He led his people from economic ruin in European conquest and to the brink of creating a New World Order. In his wake, he brought a reign of terror that caused death to millions. Drawing from recently discovered German film collections that comprise hours of previously unseen color footage, and woven with eyewitness testimony, Hitler in Colour tells the astonishing and disturbing story as never before. Narrated by Emmy Award winning British actor Brian Cox.General DVDs
