Gareth v A decent enough telling of the true story of Georg Elser. A solid enough biopic that just seems to be playing it too safe. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/21/23 Full Review Wolfgang G Elser – Er hätte die Welt verändert ist ein deutscher Spielfilm aus dem Jahr 2015. Christian Friedel spielt den Widerstandskämpfer Georg Elser, und dessen Attentat 1939 auf Adolf Hitler im Münchner Bürgerkeller. Der Film will eine kurze Lebensbeschreibung geben, ab den Jahr der Machtergreifung 1933 bis zu seiner Erschießung im KZ Dachau am 9. April 1945. Christian Friedel gibt ein sehr gutes Bild von Georg Elser ab. Das Drehbuch stammte von Fred Breinersdorfer und Léonie-Claire Breinersdorfer. Und Oliver Hirschbiegel (Regie) setzte die Geschichte in herrlichen Bildern um. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/02/22 Full Review Audience Member One of the best and perhaps most genuin of many WW2 films, based on the true and amazing story of Georg Elser, one of several people who tried to assassinate Hitler with a bomb and nearly succeeded, but the only one who did it all by himself. 13 minutes is the English title and it describes the time frame he missed with in his attempt to kill Der Führer. The German orginal title is Elser, saying more about the actual film. The plot is basically a depiction of his life as a craftsman and factory worker in the time before the outbreak of the war, well balanced as a retrospective to the assassination attempt, capture and the following interrigation by the Gestapo and SS. However, the film has a weakness in an overempasized focus on Elser's complicated and secret relation to the married Elsa Härlen, this at the expence of a wider narrative about his anti war conviction and political views, along with his impression of and view on the Nazi regime and Hitler, the motives to his ultimate destined decision and the actual core of the story. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Serge L Great acting for a story worth knowing. Elser is a true hero that understood early the extreme danger the Nazi was for Germany itself. Effectively, the germans had lost their minds to think they would not have eventually to pay for their murderous rampages. However, historically, if his murder had succeeded, germany could have done better during the war and maybe even won it, since a few bad decisions were later attributed to Hitler himself, like the attack on Russia instead of England.
