i watch this hoping to find out something i didn ` t know about modern history most infamous man and couldn ` t help think that history have be rewrite in hitler representthe rise of evil . hitler be so obsessed with his niece that he threaten to have one of her admirer shot . hitler turn up with a gun in his hand to arrest ernst rohm . forgive me for ask but haven ` t the writer confuse adolph hitler with tony montana from scarface . that bad enough but what really offend me be that there entire chunk of historical context miss in this mini series . germany lose the first world war and the allied power make germany pay a heavy price for do so . it be this economic environment that lead the german people to have someone anyone to restore their pride and that why they turn to nazism . the german humiliation of the 1920s cause by the allied power seem to be entirely miss therefore there be no way that hitler representthe rise of evil can be take seriously a a historical document and and i haven ` t even mention that himmler and goering be conspicous by their absence there be one positive point about the mini series and that robert carlyle in the title role . okay some of his mannerism be wrong and his voice be a little too loud ( archive recording show that hitler have a soft seductive voice ) but carlyle be a charismatic actor and he do manage to communicate hitler own charisma on screen . comment in the british press that carlyle resemble the synth player from spark more than adolph hitler be unfounded and he give one of the good interpretation of hitler . i like the performance by robert carlyle but i hat everything else about this mini series and wonder why on earth it be make in the first place . there nothing to recommend it to serious history fan .
