Movie : Max

Max is an indie flick about a 1920's art dealer (John Cusack) and his somewhat twisted relationship with a young Adolf Hitler. Though it is a fictional story, it is nevertheless enlightening to see how the rejected young Hitler ends up on the political path. The tension between the two futures facing Hitler (art and politics) reaches its breaking point when he realizes that "art + politics = power", a remedial math equation that actually does a great job summing up the birth of propoganda.

While not an excellent film, I personally thought the film was very worthwhile as a means to humanize the man behind the Holocaust. It is worth seeing just for the sense of pity is invokes.
