IMO he never was underrated. Same leauge as some other British actors of that generation: Michael Caine, Sean Connery, Anthony Hopkins (a little younger), Richard Burton (Welsh) and a lots of others I forgot in this very moment. Btw, the book "The Spy Who Came in From the Cold" must be the best spy novel I have ever read...ah, maybe one of the best non-fictional book ever read, though a tie is Norman Mailer's "The Naked and the Dead." You just can't make these books into films.
Only someone like Plummer could underplay this scene by *just* the right amount to make it as horrifying as it ought to be. He uses the voice of a recording angel, "infinitely gentle, infinitely suffering"--and infinitely just.
Chris Plummer is simply one of the finest actors Canada has ever produced. Great on screen even better on stage. Guy was just a masterclass in of himself.
Fine actor in a powerful recreation of one of the most impactful trials in human history. Also watch "Judgment at Nuremberg" with Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster, Marlene Dietrich, Judy Garland, Maximilian Schell, and many others.
I was fortunate to see Mr. Plummer live on stage in Canada. He was in Anthony and Cleopatra at the Stratsford festival in 1967. I was hooked on Shakespeare ever since. A great actor.
Never again! What a performance by Plummer. Truly one of great actors of the last 50 years. Only someone like him could deliver this and do it justice.
Never again proved to be the empty meaningless slogan as it IS happening again, in Ukraine where russian fascists are doing EXACTLY the same as German nazi did, they occupy, invade, create filtration camps, torture, rape, kidnap, deport, use forced labour, kill. So please never say ''never again'' when it is happening to us AGAIN. The very same thing. Wake up and read news.
@@mack3685 imagine refusing to believe this despite the overwhelming evidence, facts don't care about your feelings the holocaust happened its a historical fact.
Conspiracy theories that the Nazi's started galvanized Germans to hate Jews. Look all over comment sections on the internet and see how we are slowly repeating history.
A masterful performance by a legend of stage and screen... I cannot help but wonder what happened after that take, and the director said "cut"... If there was only silence for awhile... The words moved the cast in the scene... that is clear to see.. even without ... acting it... Even extras, if you observe closely, are moved deeply ... Best to say, this is a legend of the craft at work. A standard that will be difficult to better. His passing is a loss to all .
After the first take sure, but after several takes everyone would’ve been numb to it. Which is exactly what happened with the guards and soldiers carrying out these atrocities.
This was reported in the Jewish Journal about Plummer’s speech: “by the end of the first take, the entire cast and crew could not hold back their approval. “We were not only in tears, but we applauded, which is very rare on a set,” said actress Jill Hennessy
As a German I say this is the basis and the origin of what we are today. These facts are in my heart so to be an Old Testament to our country. Never will we forget those who are being given account of here. Remembrance and consciousness must be our pride and identity.
Christopher Plummer does not "act" in his performance. He does not read the words of the witness of these atrocities. Instead he delivers the words as if HE were the witness to the horror and inhumanity. Christopher Plummer's character IS the witness to the crimes that is evidenced by the pauses and accentuation of specific words, phrases and gestures. This is brilliant! It is effortless. He makes his performance look easy; as if any of us could do the same. And we would if WE witnessed a horrific and brutal crime.
@@spanishflea634 No it's not. He could have delivered the words as if reading the transcript completely banal ; without pauses, inflections, gestures and that too would be "acting".
Horrible beyond words. So sick. All of this happened. If you doubt it did may God help you. Now it seems like history is repeating itself all over again. Evil never sleeps.
Specifically, these days, who is forcing people to undress, be shot and end up dumped in mass graves? Are you referring to Putin's ridiculous war, or are you intending to say something else?
@@Brian6587 Undoubtedly, horrible murders have occurred there. The reason I asked is because these days, if you disagree with someone politically, often they accuse you of being a 'Nazi'. For that reason, the word 'Nazi' is losing it's meaning.
@@Brian6587 Yes, those Nazi tattooed Bandera worshipping Azov Battalion are certainly no champion of justice as portrayed in the media, and Putins Imperial army no slouch either.

The first motion picture I ever saw him in, he defiantly ripped a nazi flag from its staff and tore it to pieces, a scene I remember well. The movie also starred Julie Andrews. A fine actor. Indeed, one of the greats.
Plummer was an intelligence officer during the war, and spoke fluent German. I am sure he read the intel reports coming in about the camps while on active duty. So he could have channeled how he reacted on reading the reports and seeing the recon photos for the first time.
There are Hollywood actors, witch are just pretty faces and nothing more, and there are actors like Mr Plummer. He gives you a masterclass of acting in every role he takes on. A n then acting becomes art.

I remember reading a few documents of what happen in order tragedies, it was so detailed, I cried a few times in mid sentences. People with good consciences would not be able to read properly of such tragedies.
What a performance. He through a light on what was a horrific experience of those poor unfortunate souls. Truly very moving! What a great actor! He reflected the true horrors of those unfortunate defenseless people. Unfortunately it is happening all over again in Ukraine.
@@polobhuilean5217 a "trite" comparison? So who is it being disrespectful in reality then? YOU! All the elements of the worst of the Nazis are there in Ukraine, perpetrated by Putin's forces.

@@davidpnewton well well and many thanks for taking the time to respond to my comment, allowing me to respond.

Whenever any group of people are dehumanized by another, this must be a our dire and gravest warning alarm. How?!? How can this happen?!? This not the first time I’ve heard this, I’ve seen documentaries, read accounts. Each time, wanting to look away, but bringing myself back to finish the piece, tears streaming, nausea rising, to be a witness. And others have committed atrocities before this and since. How? It seems to me that the essential key that unlocks such inhumanity and evil must be the dehumanization of the victims. That is what we must reject, in all its forms, especially with those we disagree the strongest because we are blindest to it then. Back with terror far away from the edge that looks down into such a pit that would devour our souls.
Well spoken. It brings to mind the stories of what the Japanese did in the Far East between 1937 and 1945. Many of the stories of their brutality moved me to tears.
Wonderful performance, by a gifted actor. .... the emanations of those hell-beings on trial seek to recreate the horrors today, in America. Stop them before we have to try them!
William Shirer (an eyewitness to the Nuremberg Trials) in his book "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich", says that when Graeber's deposition was read "a hush of horror fell over the entire courtroom".
Morality is far more complex than a good/evil dichotomy. But what’s important is that humans are moral beings, we always have a choice. And our moral responsibility is for the choices we make. There are Nazis who refused to murder, not because who they were, or what was present in them, but because they could think, and made a choice. And when told to murder, responded with an unambiguous, no.
satisfying to see then that today, germany is an abode of gay rights (though not perfect, granted) compared to the US (not even talking about places like russia).
In the nurebmerg trials had two executioners. One was John C. Woods who has one of the WORST records botching executioners during the the time the Other was Albert Pierrepoint who was the best in his line of work all his jobs where perfect and the prisoners didnt suffer.

@@jjakiefte2165 Hard disagree there, a handful of men suffering a bit before death, for roughly 6 million people, bare minimum, deprived of there most basic principles of rights, dignity and humanity, is fine by me. They deserved far worse.
@@jjakiefte2165 I think the Allies would still be better, but having purposely horrible executions (or purposely horrible prisons), is not productive. The only thing civilized society needs is that the bad actors be separated from that society. Anything more than that is just petty revenge.
