Review of Moloch

Moloch (1999)
4/10
Remember this is fiction
8 October 2013
This film is a work of fiction. Most of the other commentaries overlook that fact. The deluded and neurotic man portrayed in the film is a work of fiction. He bares little resemblance to the real Hitler.

Hitler is a popular target for hatchet jobs and misrepresentation. He was neither a fool nor a madman.

The supporting characters in Moloch are sycophantic. That is true enough - most powerful people - from Obama to Putin - are surrounded by sycophants.

Ironically the name suggests either a monster or a devourer of children. That description is more appropriately applied to Stalin.

This a strange movie. But it should be seen as a character study, not history.
