剧情简介
On 6 May 1945, soldiers of the 88th US Infantry Division occupied the Himmlers’ family home in Gmund on Lake Tegernsee where they discovered hundreds of private letters, documents, journals and photographs. The film makes use of these materials and copious archive footage to sketch the biography of SS commander Heinrich Himmler who committed suicide at the end of May 1945 by taking a cyanide capsule. How did this nationalistic lower-middle-class man become Hitler’s henchman responsible for developing and executing the strategies that led to the murder of millions of Jews, homosexuals, Communists and Romany people? Where did his ideology originate? How did he see himself and how was he perceived in private by his wife Margarete, his daughter Gudrun and his mistress Hedwig? How could the man who often referred to so-called German virtues such as order, decency and goodness also write home in the midst of the war and Holocaust: ‘I am well in spite of my heavy workload’? What was it that caused his daughter to say after a visit to Dachau concentration camp: ‘It was lovely …’ A film about the pretensions of a mass murderer and the repression of any sense of guilt. Berlinale 2014
观众心声
作为丈夫和父亲的希姆莱
对古德朗而言鸡农是最好的父亲，对犹太人而言鸡农是不折不扣的恶魔。他们参观达壕的时候，实在是对比强烈
以希姆莱从小的日记和与亲人之间的书信往来为主线窜起整部纪录片，真实还原希姆莱，他是如何成长、如何作为一个恪忠职守的人、一个称职的丈夫和父亲，片子没有评论，只有叙述，让人们看到希姆莱是一个怎样的人。
看希姆莱的日常通信，涉及到政治方面，其实与现今很多网络键政家并无本质不同，甚至希姆莱远没有那么极端，结合他女儿战后依然是一位坚定的纳粹分子来看，纳粹思想和其变种广泛存在于人群中是一个客观事实，想要根除是不可能的。关键在于让其无法摄取巨大的权力，由此可见和稀泥实为政治家的一项美德。
不想读无聊的《海因里希•希姆莱与妻书信集》的话，就看纪录片好了
