Night Will Fall (2014)

How sad is this?

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

If you think that you understand the scope of the German atrocities committed during WWII, even if you have been to the Holocaust Museum, unless you have seen this film, you likely do not. With footage much of which had not seen publicly before this 2014 documentary, this film chronicles the liberation of prison and death camps as filmed by British, American, and Soviet army photographers, as well as the healing of the survivors after liberation, and the prosecution of those who managed the death camp industry. The title comes from the narration, "Unless the world learns the lesson these pictures teach, night will fall. But by God's grace, we who live will learn." A must-see film to understand the catastrophic consequences that hate and bigotry can bring.

If you're looking to see the actual film, it's not here & there is no clue to where it is."German Concentration Camps Factual Survey" is the film. Where is it? Don't bother clicking on anything on YouTube. Nothing there but ads & still shots of studio logos.Other than that HUGE letdown, this is a wonderful documentary. The very end is most poignant to SEE the apathy of Germans who lived down the road throughout the atrocities.

This is a miraculous film...miraculous in that it exists, but more than even that; miraculous in it's unadulterated depiction of the worst of humanity in wartime.The dichotomy of war is depicted here. In Bergen-Belsen we see life struggling to be what life is and just feet away from piles of death as the corps were strewn. How can these two depictions of life occur so physically close? Only in the worst of war can such atrocities be present, if diversely repugnant. See this film and only trust your moral center as everything must be judged by inherent good.The old adage that we are doomed to repeat history unless we learn from it comes to heart. Right now we have ISIS, a modern day Nazi style faction. Can we sit idly by and let evil fester. This film makes it clear that the cost will only exponentially multiply if good men sit by and do nothing. See this, weep for those lost at the hands of evil in the past, and renew your resolve that we must stand for good at this later day time where evil once more rears a powerful head.

I am the daughter and granddaughter of German Jews who got out just before Kristalnacht. I am also the relative of many many who were not as fortunate. My great-aunts and great-uncles along with unborn generations perished. Little to nothing is known about their fates; where or how they died and where they were interred.In high school, I saw a French documentary that showed me, for the first time, images I had never even imagined. Horror I could not believe. I remember my classmates getting up at the end of the film and walking out of the room seemingly unfazed. I couldn't move.Night Will Fall should be seen in every classroom on earth at least once. You cannot be too young or too old to understand the immense nature of mass insanity and those who stand idly by.I will never forget and, in fact, am galvanized in my belief that we are too quick to assume evil will not touch us.An absolute must see film. You will want to discuss this in depth with children before you let them watch and after.NEVER AGAIN.
