Time for A Critical Re-Evaluation

Sometimes I feel astounded at how low some films are rated. This film is in a class by itself by courageously taking on the subject matter of the most awful criminal in world history with compassion, intelligence, and an accurate sense of history and humanity.
The careful use of film clips, photographs, and even a Hitler scrapbook give a depth to a character who may never escape the cardboard plasticity of his image. I condone nothing he did, but feel we cannot as a society pass on any opportunity to take another look. Maybe all I'm doing is keeping an eye on him because his like will never die and cannot be trusted with our complacence.
After all my forty some years of study, one of the nagging unanswered questions that plagues me is what the hell could have been going through that man's mind? This film makes a noble effort to answer this.
I am a teacher at a juvenile detention center for girls and have teenagers ask me regularly who is Mark Twain or the tooth fairy or, yes, Adolf Hitler. Where has the public school system gone wrong?
I buy very few DVD's anymore, but this is one I must add to the collection.
My re-evaluation of the film is a minimum of 8.0 and maximum of 8.5.
