Hitler: The Rise Of Evil (DVD 2003)

Excellent drama outlining Hitler's rise to power, from his early years to Chancellor in 1933.
Very watchable, reasonably accurate and true to life.
The acting is top notch and it is very entertaining.
Good for general interest but also for schools studying Hitler and the Nazis.
Recommended highly. Worth every penny.
Robert Carlyle is superb.

What a fab film 177 minutes long - my eldest son was hooked for nearly 3 hours.
My youngest son watched this when taking his A level History (teachers suggestion) which really helped him understand the Hitler period...if that's possible...

It relates to Hitler growing up and what influenced him to become so evil towards people, and takes it up to WW2. However, NOT boring, more spell binding or incredulous that it even ever occured.. Everyone in the family who has watched this has ended up watching it a 2nd time.

What's so good about this film is that it's almost documentary but has a very strong cast of top actors - so although informatory, also an evening viewing especially for this time of year.

If you want to know how it was possible that Hitler came to power - this reveals all !!

"The only thing necessary for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke

Robert Carlyle seldom makes a "duff" movie, and this is no exception. An accurate and entertaining film which I found enthralling throughout - his portayal of Hitler is exceptional, and I would recommend this to anyone interested in the pre-WW2 era, or purely for entertainment value alone.

The film had many familiar faces, very good acting and many interesting twists and turns. It is a brilliant historical film about what made Hitler who he is,
detailing what happened from when he was a little boy to when he became the man that led Germany to war. The film is very well made and gives an excelent
insight into one of the most hated people in the world.

4/5 as it became slightly boring in places but still an cracking film.
I would reconmend this to anyone interested in world war 2 or who is curious about Hitler and the Nazi party.

This is a real superb DVD, i studied hitler for the last three years and loved it. You don't need to know much about the nazis history, u just need a rough idea...but it helps if u know alot because u knotice things that amaze u! Anyway its a great DVD and worth every penny! Robert C is a fantasic hitler! dramtatic exciting...everything u want!

I first saw this TV film when it was aired on terrestrial TV and I'm glad that is now available on DVD, hence my reason for purchasing it.

Hitler: The Rise of Evil portrays, in my view, Robert Carlyle in one of his best performances yet. He applies thoughtful acting and offers a believable account of how Hitler built his 'brand' of National Socialism as well as political momentum that eventually led him to becoming national dictator.

Acting a part of a man whom had such major and historical prominence cannot be an easy thing to do, yet Carlyle does it very convincingly.

This is an award winning drama and is filled with intrigue and historical insight. If this is a period of history that interests you then this film is definitely worth a watch.

I bought this for my partner as he'd watched the first part on tv but missed the final part. I started to watch it with him and was captivated, ended up staying up really late to watch it all. A fascinating insight into the bizarre, disturbed dictator played by Robert Carlyle.
A very well made film, highly recommended.

it was good quality
there was nothing i disliked about it
























. .

Fantastic film about how a pissed off man called Adolf Hitler rose into power in times actually like the UK is experiencing at present ( 2008 Recession, Tony Blair doing a runner, Gordon Brown's incompetence, fuel prices, tax this tax that, lazy bin men, immigration, Europe expanding into undesirable countries, Eastern European Organised crime all over the place, prostitution, Corrupt Government. Basically one messed up country that has lost its roots passion & pride )

Great Film that makes you want to get up and cheer and join in and shows how a patriotism can lead a man to..............well that's for you to decide.

A fine depiction of the determination and rise of one man, against a whole nation. Elegant and compulsory viewing, Hitler: The Rise of Evil, offers a unique insight into the Fuhrer, and his incredible ascent to complete power.

I bought this as my son said it would help him with his gcse history and he said it was very helpful

This is about one of the most Evil men of the 20th century so you naturally become interested it what made him tick. I had read good reviews on this item and the way the film had been put together with in depth research on Hitler.
Very pleased came up to my expectation of purchase.
