Hitler: The Rise of Evil [mini series]



This movie chronicles Hitler's life from his childhood to his rise to power in Germany. Although I'm not sure about the historical facts, this movie is a must see. Robert Carlyle [I also liked him in Trainspotting] who plays Hitler has given the performance of his lifetime, he has literally transformed into a monster to play Hitler. We will be mesmerized by his powerful speeches just like the Germans did.
The movie starts with a Quote by Edmund Burke -
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. 
I always did and will believe in the above statement, there's no superior being or creator / devil who brings goodness / life / happiness or evil / death / destruction to this world but us HUMANS. If we can create evil then we certainly can destroy it.
Cheers

  2. Dude, I said humans can destroy evil. I didn't say "all humans can", There is a big difference. Some say "there is nothing 100% or perfect in life" but my opinion is "There are very few things in life which are 100% and perfect".
    I too think we can't achieve perfection in most of the things but that shouldn't stop us from trying. In trying you can achieve excellence, that will set you apart. I believe in excellence but I aim for perfection.
