Summary: Have your people call my people and we'll do lunch
Review: This was the consummate business meeting. They simply had a job to get done seems to have been their attitude.The truly chilling thing about this is that many of us have sat in this sort of meeting, but, well, we weren't Nazis and didn't want to exterminate people... except perhaps for the accounting folks holding up our expense checks but we really didn't mean it, we just wanted American Express to stop calling. Kenneth Branagh again shows his brilliance as a Shakespearean actor, and I find the movie very Shakespearean in its pacing, characters, and drama. I'm rather disappointed that it has an R rating. It's the sort of film that should be shown to children to educate them about how this sort of thing actually happens. I'm also reminded that most evil (which this obviously was) occurs with a buffet lunch.

Summary: Evil documented.
Review: Although this movie is not your action powerhouse full of car chases and digital FX, it is full of powerhouse acting. This movie is a little uncomfortable to watch. It chronicles the Nazi's plan to annihilate the European Jewish population. Pure evil at work. To watch as they plan there final solution is bone chilling. There lack of humanity is unreal.
If you have any interest in history this is a very interesting movie.
Stanly Tucci is excellent as is the rest of the cast. The acting is superb.

Summary: A very good depiction of history in the making..
Review: That's how I would rate this film overall, and for any serious student of World War II or the Holocaust in particular, I believe this dramatization comes as close as possible to the events at Wansee in 1942 given the fact that nearly all documentation of this meeting was destroyed before the end of the war. I happen to believe that although it's a film worthy of praise, the prospect of this being a film you'd watch over and over again, and by extension worthy of a purchase, is a little more debatable. I recommend the film only to those who are bona fide war film buffs looking to add to their collections. Otherwise, I think that once you've seen "Conspiracy" it will forever stick in your mind if not for the quality of the performances, definitely for the sheer horror and tragedy it attempts to recreate.

Summary: Outstanding
Review: I had seen Conspiracy on HBO when it originally aired. HBO had done it again! Branagh brings to the screen an unbelievable performance. The absolute coldness of his character towards the Jewish people...it is able to transport the viewer back in time to see the harsh reality of what took place during this meeting and the mindset of the Nazi Party. HBO delivers a powerful a film that takes the viewer into the thought process of those who brought horror of the Final Solution. Simply Outstanding...words do not do this film the justice it deserves

Summary: BEST OF 2001
Review: Absolutely one of the finest films of the year (okay, that may not be saying very much, but give it a shot, you won't be sorry). Chilling chamber piece: brilliant script, flawless performances all-around -- particularly Kenneth Branagh who is sublime. Also one of the greatest historic dramas ever made. If you like great flicks, great acting, great screenwriting, movies about World War II, movies about the Holocaust, movies about anything really -- you'll appreciate this one!

Summary: Conspiracy
Review: This is possibly the greatest movie ever made showing the true proficient management evil of the Third Reich with regard to genocide. Immense power is demonstrated by General Heidrich hosting the meeting by the S.S. Anyone doubting the existence of true EVIL in this world will now see it depicted in this movie.
The efficiency, attitude and businesslike approach of all participants in this conference to agree on the "Final Solution" is appalling professional and each character depicted by the various actors participating in the conference is memorable.
This movie is truly outstanding and its depths are chilling.

Summary: Incredible film!
Review: I saw this when it aired on HBO, after hearing the rave reviews some friends gave it. The film is exceptionally well-made, with precise attention to every little detail. You almost feel like you're there in 1942. The performances all around are simply superb, most especially from Kenneth Branaugh, who once again establishes a strong screen presence. He's just a joy to watch. What's great about this film is the creepy sense it gives you watching it. This is a meeting that actually took place in 1942.. while there are no doubt a few of the usual Hollywood refinements, this is all-around a true story. Considering the subject matter.. It's a little spooky to see these fifteen men sitting around a table discussing a chain of events that would scar history forever, in such a lackadaisical way, as though they were discussing the weather over a cup of tea. Because of it's true-to-life subject matter, this could almost be viewed as an educational film, and I intend to show this to my children as part of their education concerning the German atrocities committed during WWII. "Never Again", as the plague before the walls of Auschwitz states. But all around, this is a must-see. Rent it if you can, buy it for your collection, or catch it the next time HBO airs it. You'll definitely want to see this one. You'll remember it.

Summary: Chilling
Review: This is one of the most stunning pieces of film I have seen. I saw it originally on HBO and felt a chill while watching. The way each character talks about the so called "Jewish Solution" is scary. They spoke of disposing the Jews the way one would dispose of the trash, and that in itself was disturbing. The performances were amazing, with Branagh's performance shining the most. It holds your attention as the memebers of the Third Reich debate the fate of the Jews and the intensity can be felt from begining to end.

Summary: Branagh Should Have Won an Oscar for this
Review: I saw this movie on an around the world trip in Nov. 2001. It was so good I watched again and again on each flight it was offered. The story is darkly compelling and Branagh played his role perfectly. I won't tell you anymore than that, for fear of spoiling it for you.
