Besides new films i can also really enjoy the old ones. Judgement at Nuremberg is a good example. As the title already suggests, this is about the trials in Nuremberg against a couple of judges that ruled during the Nazi period. The question that is asked is if they were merely doing their job based on rightful laws or if they could be punished for sentencing hundreds of people (to concentration camps and having other things happen to them) based on laws that were against humanity.
The movie shows an interesting image of the trial and the arguments used by both lawyers. It also uses real images of the concentration camps, with chilling effect. The final judgement must have been very hard. Maximilian Schell is excellent in his role as the defense (he reminded me of Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Basterds) of the judges and really is the point of focus in every scene he appears in. He won an Oscar for this role. Recommended for people who like courtroom dramas or want to know more about this piece of history.
