Grandma Dai spoke ill of her motherland in Hollywood, and finally played her most competent role, a lady with "Feng" in her surname, deliberately trying to get Western countries to re-accept post-war Germany.
Comrade Montgomery Clift played brilliantly as a die-hard lawyer defending a Nazi judge, and his speeches were brilliant.
In this early film, the point of view is already very sharp and transparent. The Western countries’ tolerance to Nazi war criminals after the war was purely out of putting Germany on the front line of the struggle against the Bolsheviks, and by this way, it was just to attract colleagues. Anything that is just and humane is a typical hypocritical imperialist face. However, if you are a little crazy, you may really want to win the hearts of Germany. The prelude and ending of "Nuremberg Trial" used several German military songs of World War II, which were sung happily, as if nothing had happened.

    It was originally a four-star work, but the monologues of the last two protagonists elevate the whole film.

    Choose justice or choose survival? Long-term stability or temporary stability? Survive, survive as what? The film touches on the depths of society, history, and human nature, and it also allows the audience to integrate into it neutrally and question themselves without being boring, which is amazing.

Judgment at Nuremberg quotes

  • Ernst Janning: We have fallen on happy times, Herr Hahn. In old times it would have made your day if I'd deigned to say good morning to you. Now that we are here in this place together... you feel obliged to tell me what to do with my life... Listen to me, Herr Hahn, there have been terrible things that have happened to me in my life. But the worst thing that has ever happened... is to find myself in the company of men like you.

  • Mrs. Bertholt: We must forget if we want to go on living.
