‘Hermann Göring loved his kids. That’s what’s terrifying’: James Vanderbilt, Rami Malek and Michael Shannon on Nuremberg

The film 'Nuremberg' features Russell Crowe as Hermann Göring, one of the Nazi officials prosecuted during the Nuremberg trials. The movie is based on Douglas Kelley's interviews with Göring and other Nazis, highlighting Kelley's disturbing realization that the atrocities committed by the Nazis could occur anywhere, not just in that historical context. This insight haunted Kelley and ultimately contributed to his downfall. The film, directed by James Vanderbilt, aims to explore the nature of evil, as embodied by Göring, who was noted for his charm and love for his children, which adds a chilling dimension to his character. The portrayal of such figures raises important questions about the persistence of evil in society today.
