In 2003, the premiere and the subsequentan output on the wide screen of the Canadian film "Hitler: the ascent of the devil". The actors in this film were chosen very well and, judging by the opinions of numerous critics, coped well with the tasks assigned to them. This is confirmed by the fact that the film received several prestigious awards and prizes for the performance of male roles. Also in 2004, the American Prize for casting workers for the best casting was given to the film "Hitler: The Devil's Ascent", the actors and roles in which are really matched perfectly.
This film can be attributed to the category of mini-series,because it consists of 2 parts, the duration of which is 2 hours. Judging by the name, it is obvious that the tape is filmed in the genre of autobiography and tells about the life path of the most odious man of the last century - Adolf Hitler. By itself, the personality of this person is very difficult and it is impossible for many to understand its nature.
Becoming the main character in this filmis considered in great detail. Initially, Hitler appears before the viewer in the image of a 10-year-old boy. This hero lives with his mother and stepfather, whom he does not like too much. The mother is sure that her son has the ability to paint and sees in him a future artist. Stepfather, apparently, is not too fond of his arrogant stepchild, teaches his life and tries to educate. In many respects, because of this, after the death of his stepfather, little Adolf is not at all sad.
Adult Hitler in adolescence onThe screen is embodied by another actor - Simon Sullivan. He shows the image of a guy who is looking for his place in life. His hero fails in the way of becoming an artist. He applies to the Vienna Academy of Arts, but receives a refusal, because they believe that the guy does not have enough talent. It was during this period that Adolf is fond of anti-Semitic theories, which, it seems to him, help find the culprits in all his failures. Then he goes to the First World War, and Germany's loss becomes for him a real shock.
In the film "Hitler:the ascent of the devil "the actors were able to smoothly show the formation of Adolf's adult and established personality. It gradually ripens to the idea that the history of the German defeat must necessarily be rewritten and his country must rise above all others. Adult Hitler with all the complexities of his character is already playing the third actor - Robert Carlisle. Despite the fact that in the mini-series "Hitler: the Devil's Ascent" the actors coped with their roles without exception, it was Carlaine's actor's work that critics were praised with the most laudatory reviews.
Many note that the actor did a colossalwork in order to make his image look as realistic as possible. He studied the facial expressions, gestures and manner of conversation of the real prototype of his image. It was he, a year after the release of the film on the screens, in 2004, was nominated for the famous international award "Sputnik" for the best male role in the mini-series.
In addition to Adolf himself, in the film, of course,there are other, secondary characters, but their images are shown and played no less vividly. For example, actor Peter Otul was nominated for the "Amy" award in the nomination "Best Supporting Actor".
In the film, he performed magnificently the role of Paul von Hindenburg. His character is the president and it was from his submission in 1933 that Hitler became chancellor.
Naturally, in the film, except for male rolesthere are also women's. The role of Adolphe's mother, Clara, was performed by American actress Stockard Channing. Very interesting was the image of Helen - the wife of General Erich Ludendorff. According to the plot, Hitler was often included in the general's house and began to feed warm feelings to his wife. A little later, when Adolf attempted suicide, it was Helen who saved his life.
Interesting and very profound was the image of Eva Braun - the world-famous beloved of Hitler.
The film perfectly illustrates her inner feelings, her love for the Fuhrer and her inability to fully accept her destiny. The role of this woman in the movie was played well by Zoe Telford.
