This cerebral movie is one of the best of the year. However, when you see it, you must be in the mood to "think". Hannah Arendt was a philosophy professor married to a non Jewish German-also a professor. They lived in New York when Eichmann was arrested. Arendt was already famous for her previous philosophical work and reporting originally on The Third Reich. As she goes to Jerusalem and watches the trial of Eichmann, she concludes that he is a bureaucrat who could only follow orders not distinguish right from wrong, and that he was very, very average. Ultimately, this led her to examine further the definition of evil especially as it related to The Third Reich. Her friends and the Jewish community, in general, castigated her for her writing. Her relationship all the while with her husband is lovely and affectionate. Worth watching.
