Movies have for a long time documented
facts that have happened in the past and they have an aspect of getting their
audience to get a better understanding of events that transpired in the past.
One such historical event that would be captured well in a movie is The
Holocaust which took place during the 1930’s in Germany. This is an event that
involved the mass murder of Jews in Germany by the Nazi regime in the year 1933[1].
As a result, putting this historical event will remind people of a bad mistake
that the Nazi regime made, and also avert the chance of such an event taking
place in the future.
The Holocaust can be better adapted
into a screenplay by including all the events that led to the massacre of the
Jewish community [2]by the
Nazis. This will include getting the actual historical timeline of the events
and using it to write the script to be utilized in making the movie to be
outstanding. The events of the Holocaust are all recorded in various historical
books, which will be very resourceful in writing the movie’s script.
The adaptation of the 1933 holocaust
occurrence is important in a number of ways. Firstly, it will help people who
are acquainted or not acquainted with the occurrence to have a real feeling of
the events that eventually led to the massacre. Secondly, adapting the
Holocaust happenings into a movie will be imperative in making sure that people
learn the essence of valuing human life, which is regarded as sacred. Had the
perpetrators of the Holocaust been appreciating this aspect of the sacredness
of human life, such a tragic event should never have taken place. [3]
The shooting of the movie should
commence on December, 2015 so as to give the team responsible for it to prepare
adequately. In preparing for shooting the movie, there will be auditions to be
carried out for different roles that are to be played by people. This time
period will help in getting the best pool of actors as well as actresses so as
to make the movie become popular and unique at the same time. The directors of
the movie will as well have ample time to look for the best shoot locations in
Germany since this is the place where the event took place.
In the selection of the actors to play
the major roles, Christoph Waltz, a German actor, will be able to perfectly fit
the role of Hitler. The selection of Waltz to play the role of Hitler, who was
a major mastermind in the Holocaust, emanates from the fact that he (Waltz) is
German and would act in a manner that represents the German culture. In
addition, he has a serious-looking face, which would go well with a role that
requires one to act as a massacre mastermind. Other actors such as Klaus Kinski
and Til Shweiger will as well be featured because of their exemplary acting
prowess.
In conclusion, the movie Holocaust will
be successful given the preparations that have been laid down. This includes
exemplary actors/actresses, great shoot locations, and a pool of professional
directors who are determined to produce the movie of the century. In addition,
the movie represents an event that actually took place at one point in time,
hence making it to be popular
