SOME OF MY PROBLEMS WITH THE 2025 MOVIE NUREMBERG

 Some Of My Problems With The 2025 Nuremberg

Lots of stretches of it are boring; pacing is poor;

Nothing is riveting and movie fares badly in comparison to Judgment At Nuremberg; 

Remi Malik's acting is an unbearable, exaggerated performance;

Parallel to Trump and nascent fascismj in America is baseless, TDS preaching;

Much of the discussion between Malik and Goring is claptrap, especially the reference to Goring’s example of the atomic bombing of Japan, of which Malik’s defence is wrong—collateral damage;

Robert Jackson’s concern that the trial is being held so that the Holocaust can never be repeated and that international law will be established via the trial and will bring peace to the world comes across as pious;

The trial comes across as partially a show trial with a paucity of due process on a number of fronts: no lawyers for Nazis appear; can the defendants be compelled to testify; does Jackson co-opt Malik into revealing what he’s learned about Goring through his (what seems to be as the movie has it) doctor-patient relationship with him, even though Malik is merely to determine whether Goring is competent to stand trial; the movie suggests that Malik is under a duty of confidentiality to Goring and if he is, then the movie shows Jackson wanting Malik to breach that duty in the interest of trail success so that such a thing as the Holocaust can never recur. The movie seems uncritical of these nuances or else bluntly steam rollers over them saying it’s all fine in the interest of an avowed greater good.

Russell Crowe is the best thing in the movie but why, given the vast horror and evil of the Holocaust, spend so much time humanizing him, to what end? Plus, the movie fails persuasively, emotionally to dramatize Goring’s evil such that it finally overwhelms the humanization of him. Nuremberg nods at it but fails to make it felt. 

Remi Malik indispensably on the eve of trial helping the prosecution as his humane act overcoming his cynicism is poorly handled:

Why is it that the long account by the Jewish soldier doing the translating is the pivot on which Malik’s turnabout turns as opposed to as opposed to all the evidence of Nazi atrocities brought out during the trial;

Malik giving Jackson his big “book” on Goring summarizing 1,000s of hours of interviewing Goring and testing him just hours before Jackson examining him, and Jackson absorbing it all and crafting his examination accordingly in that short time is ridiculous; 

It’s unclear whether it’s a set up that Jackson would “hand off” his examination to the British prosecutor to complete it successfully. There’s some suggestion that it’s purposefully coordinated, but that runs into the problem of it being unclear whether the Tribunal would allow the British prosecutor to take part. One of the indications of a set up is both Jackson and the UK prosecutor happily together thanking Malik for the insight about Goring's absolute loyalty to Hitler regardless of all the genocidal depredation. 

Also whether a set up or not, it's simply absurd, as the movie has it, that Jackson failed to establish that Goring knew about the Holocaust genocide.
