Hitler: Rise of Evil - miniseries
#1
The miniseries has just aired in the UK. It features British actor Robert Carlyle (of Trainspotting and The Full Monty) in the title role. The miniseries covers the rise of a 20th century tyrant from the first world war through to the death of President Hindenburg.<br>
<br>
Although I have read histories about this period, it is relatively untouched by dramatists. I cannot think of any good ancient parallels to draw against this period; there have been endless tyrants in the past and there are still a few around today. The given theme of "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing" is probably a universal truth.<br>
<br>
Personally, I thought it was really good. Robert Carlyle was at his very best and the production was top-notch all round<br>

I'd like to hear, how Robert Carlyle *sounds*, when he plays Hitler (but I guess I will only see the dubbed version). <p>---------------<br>
