A new film, Max, looks very very interesting. It's a fictional film about an art dealer that befriends and young and friendless Adolf Hiltler soon after the first world war. I can understand critics of the film....all our lives we have characterised Hilter as a monster and to see him protrayed as anything else is shocking. I think the most distrubing thing about Hilter was that he was not an animal, he was human. He had a soul. And the only way we can understand how a fellow human being could order these atrocities is to de-humanise him....because we need to retain our own humanity. We don't want to believe that any one of us or even us ourselves could do the things he did. But we could....it is in the realm of possiblities...but we have a choice in all things. And we chose not to be monsters.

Anyway, it'll be interesting to see this protrayal.
