A Trial Triggered by Western Democracy Farce (Denied Film Review)

The plot of the whole movie is solid. I don't know if I understand it too much or the director just wanted to point out the drawbacks of Western liberal democracy. In one of the paragraphs, the judge will tell the defense lawyer that if this point of view is what he firmly believes is correct, then no matter what the facts are Rightly or wrongly, he didn't lie. At the time, I thought the judge was going to rule that the lunatic won, but it turned out good in the end. Most people think this is a well-placed hindrance in the story, but in the Western world it makes sense, and it sends chills down my spine. Fortunately, our country has the principle of political correctness, so there will be no situation like in the movie. Indeed, in this film, I saw how terrifying freedom without restraint is. A problem that even children know has to hurt the victims of the catastrophe time and time again. In my opinion, it is a democratic farce. In the end, I still recommend this movie that will make everyone reflect on it after watching it.

    Maybe the law can be manipulated, but history doesn't dress up

Denial quotes

  • Richard Rampton: They're a strange thing consciences. Trouble is, what feels best isn't necessarily what works best.

  • David Irving: [first lines; in a video speaking to a sympathetic audience] I don't see any reason to be tasteful about Auschwitz. I say to you quite tastelessly that more women died on the back seat of Senator Edward Kennedy's car at Chappaquiddick than ever died in a gas chamber at Auschwitz.

    [audience laughing and applauding]

    Deborah Lipstadt: Holocaust denial rests on four basic assertions. Number 1: That there was never any systematic or organized attempt by the Nazis to kill all of Europe's Jews. Number 2: That the numbers are far fewer than five or six million. Number 3: That there were no gas chambers or specially built extermination facilities. Number 4: That the Holocaust is therefore a myth invented by Jews to get themselves financial compensation and to further the fortunes of the State of Israel. War, the deniers say, is a bloody business. There's nothing special about the Jews, they're not unique in their suffering. They're just everyday casualties of war. What's the fuss?

    Deborah Lipstadt: Okay, and here's another question, how do we know the Holocaust happened? Seriously. I'm asking. How do we prove it? Photographic evidence? Not one person in this room or outside it has ever seen a photograph of a Jew inside a gas chamber. You know why? Because the Germans made sure that none were ever taken. So how do we know? How do we *know* that so many were murdered? So what's the proof? Where's the proof? How strong is it?
