neutral · AI labelView post →Watched "Nuremberg" on Netflix and recommend it. At one point, an interpreter of German descent is asked how his country was lost to fascism, and he said the people could have stopped it, but they didn't. The most important line from the movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Germany’s Nuremberg Trials. 110,000 captured German documents, 30 kilometres of film, 25,000 photographs. “Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses -because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened”. —Dwight D. Eisenhower

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Nuremberg.
neutral · AI labelView post →the new Nuremberg movie where Russell Crowe plays Hermann Goering is being made for an audience of just me and nothing can convince me otherwise
positive · AI labelView post →near the end of NUREMBERG and i think this would be a stronger film if it were more legal thriller than the psychological cat and mouse thing between rami malek and russell crowe (this might be because i'm just not a big rami malek fan, who is a fine actor, just not for me)
neutral · AI labelView post →Apropos of nothing: We're planning to watch movie 'Nuremberg' tonight.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm watching Nuremberg and boy this movie hits differently right now.
positive · AI labelView post →Finally watched the new Nuremberg movie. It's quite bad, but Russell Crowe is excellent as Herman Goering. I've said for years he is the only actor who can properly do Goering. Damn shame they wasted him on this thing.
negative · AI labelView post →Please try to watch the movie “ Nuremberg “ ( the one with Russell Crowe) It explains how the political situation in the world has happened. It’s an excellent film.
positive · AI labelView post →I'm rewatching Judgement at Nuremberg and was knocked out by this close-up early in the film of Spencer Tracy as he walks through the city.
neutral · AI labelView post →The movie Nuremberg actually touching on the problem of preemptive versus preventive war and I feel like my life is complete
positive · AI labelView post →this movie has its moments, is well acted, etc but you will get a lot more out of Judgment at Nuremberg (1961), a stone cold classic about how a fascist justice system can itself be put on trial in times of necessity
neutral · AI labelView post →A thread on obscenity. I'll get back to these cars. But first: tonight I took my 12yrold to see Nuremberg. He's a pretty serious movie watcher. Thought Zone of Interest was genius. I knew he could handle this. But this isn't a movie review. It's about IRL... 1/
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Nuremberg and this quote ended the film… “The clue as to what man can do is what man has done.” It is apparent that the Nazi’s weren’t alone in their destruction and massacre of innocent human beings. Israel is doing this to Gaza today.
positive · AI labelView post →There's a very good movie I think you should watch called "Judgment at Nuremberg". It's largely concerned with how fascism grows by convincing people to collaborate right up until they reach their redlines, and then quietly replacing them once the fascists decide they're ready to cross the redlines.
neutral · AI labelView post →I also look forward to trying to argue in court that the common instruction on the need to disobey illegal orders given to all military personnel is now illegal and punishable by court martial. And doing so while a movie called Nuremberg is in theaters.
neutral · AI labelView post →Russell Crowe’s Göring in Netflix’s #Nuremberg is genuinely impressive: vain, intelligent, manipulative, unrepentant. And the film gets the courtroom dynamic right: Jackson fumbling the cross-examination before Maxwell Fyfe stepped in to rescue the prosecution. So far, so good. 🧵
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight’s movie: “Judgment at Nuremberg” (1961), directed by Stanley Kramer
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Nuremberg with my dad. They’re calling it the most “watch with your dad” movie in history.
positive · AI labelView post →Just watched the "Nuremberg" movie that focused on trials of Hermann Göring and other Nazis. Look forward to the sequel starring Donald Trump., Pete Hegseth, Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem.
positive · AI labelView post →“Nuremberg” opens Nov 7, 2025. Went to a screening last Saturday in LA. Powerful performances by Crowe, Malek, Slattery, Grant, Shannon and more. This film will be a good reminder what ought to happen…sooner the better. #Pinks #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory
neutral · AI labelView post →Part way through this Kristie Nome realizes that the Nuremberg movie with Russel Crowe is about her
neutral · AI labelView post →Hope Stephen Miller watches the new movie Nuremberg to see how this is going to end for him.
neutral · AI labelView post →🧵 EVERY FILM I WATCH IN 2026 🧵 1. Nuremberg (2025) [1st watch] My expectations were low coz I usually find Rami Malek AND Russell Crowe v annoying but HOT DAMN, they're GREAT and this got me good! Very entertaining in a way that only made me feel a LITTLE grimy but I didn't hate that either haha.
positive · AI labelView post →My advice for Palantir employees is to watch the film "Judgement at Nuremberg." Complicity means "just following orders" isn't good enough
neutral · AI labelView post →I wonder, too, if part of the ambivalence has to do with current alienation--largely via the resurgence of fascism--from rule of law. That's what Nuremberg, the movie, is about, along w/ hubris, & the fact that the only monsters are human beings who choose monstrosity. 3/
positive · AI labelView post →Saw the movie Nuremberg last night. Very much worth seeing. IMO especially at this moment, especially for Americans. (Aware that reviews are positive though mixed. For me, what is strong about it outweighs what isn't.)
positive · AI labelView post →Watching Judgment at Nuremberg (currently on BBC and Prime). The first film to bring the Holocaust home to American viewers and, right now, a timely reflection on complicity, remembrance and denial. Extraordinary in its moral intensity.
neutral · AI labelView post →Nuremberg is a good movie to see, very fitting for today, and Trump is exactly the kind of person Rami Malek's character said would climb over the corpses of half of America if it meant he could control the other half.
positive · AI labelView post →I saw the new film Nuremberg. It was based on the life of psychologist Douglas Kelly, who interviewed Nazi war criminals for five months before their trial. His book was not popular when he published it. Kelly's last chapter served as a warning from history, and this passage resonates with us now.
positive · AI labelView post →All I can say is Im glad there is a movie about Nuremberg coming out Nov. 7. Folks could stand to use a refresher.
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s a shame how Russell Crowe is wasted in “Nuremberg,” a surprisingly crummy movie. Clunky exposition, Malek’s unrelenting smirk, cutesy transitions. Sincerely a disservice to the material.
negative · AI labelView post →Kinda wish the sign was reversed cause "Zootopia 2 Nuremberg" sounds like a bizarre Spike Lee film about horrendous furry war crimes
neutral · AI labelView post →Interesting. Nuremberg—a movie. Being released this week. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/se...
neutral · AI labelView post →I just saw the movie Nuremberg and learned how the psychologist Kelly tried to warn people with his book that this could happen again, but no one was interested. 😒
positive · AI labelView post →"rats" There's a scene in the TNT film "Nuremberg" where Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss (Colm Feore) is asked about the Jews he murdered by a U.S. Army psychiatrist (Matt Craven), he says he was "taught Jews were an enemy of Germany" and says, "Does a rat catcher think it wrong to kill rats?"
neutral · AI labelView post →Giggling like school girls. These weaklings think they're the star of their own movie. America needs to ensure that movie is Judgment at Nuremberg.

neutral · AI labelView post →I first heard this in a movie on Nuremberg featuring Alec Baldwin and it really stuck with me
neutral · AI labelView post →This movie basically boils the entire Nuremberg trial down to one British guy asking Hermann Göring “if Hitler was here right now would you suck his dick?”
neutral · AI labelView post →The 2025 movie Nuremberg is nowhere near as good as the 1961 movie Judgment at Nuremberg. The 2025 movie is oddly flat. The 1961 movie got to me and lingered in my head for weeks.
negative · AI labelView post →For this week's #ThursdayFilmRec 🗃️🎥🍿🎬 #HATM Watch or (Rewatch) the powerful (and sadly relevant) film "Judgment at Nuremberg" (1961) - Dir. Stanley Kramer Scene: Dr. Ernst Janning's Testimony, performed by the outstanding Burt Lancaster. ⬇️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQic...
neutral · AI labelView post →They made a movie about that, called A Day Without a Mexican. Things did not go well. Oh, Stephen, they also made a movie called Judgement at Nuremberg that you may want to check out. You'd be the star.
neutral · AI labelView post →MGM+ is streaming Judgment at Nuremberg. Thought that might be worth mentioning www.justwatch.com/us/movie/jud...
neutral · AI labelView post →The Russians made their own film titled "Nuremberg," released two years ago. Watching it side by side with the new American one speaks volumes about how the two societies see themselves and each other, writes @michaelidov.bsky.social airmail.news/issues/2025-...
neutral · AI labelView post →Maybe Hegseth should watch "Nuremberg" to see how that movie ended for people who were like him in 1939.
neutral · AI labelView post →If you have friends in the military who are questioning their positions, recommend the movie Nuremberg on Netflix to them. Do not become the baddies.
neutral · AI labelView post →Yes we should commit it to memory Another brilliant soliloquy from the 1961 film Judgement at Nuremberg. youtu.be/TyS98_jQIA0?...
neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched the movie Nuremberg. This is the strongest political statement I’ve ever seen against Trump’s MAGA white supremacy. Well done to the people brave enough to make this movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Rewatching Judgement at Nuremberg. If this doesn’t sound exactly like the arguments made in that movie, I don’t know what does. Time to pick a side.
neutral · AI labelView post →😂😂😂 You can't make this up: Russians will not be allowed to see “Nuremberg” News from Mordor: The Russian Ministry of Culture has refused to issue a distribution certificate for the film “Nuremberg” The reasons for the Ministry of Culture’s decision have not been disclosed.

neutral · AI labelView post →I hope everyone goes to see “Nuremberg,” not because it’s a good movie (it isn’t) but because it’s a pretty good idea going forward.
negative · AI labelView post →For no particular reason, I watched "Judgement at Nuremberg" from 1961. It is a powerful and thought-provoking movie about German judges tried for their actions in Nazi Germany.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched “Nuremberg”and one line in the movie was who is more powerful than the U.S. president? The answer was: the Pope. ✝️ #leo
neutral · AI labelView post →This Taylor Swift movie is something else It’s like if the Nuremberg Rally had centered around Hitler tearfully thanking Germany for making him feel like the world’s prettiest princess
