Hannah Arendt<\/a>. \u00a0Here’s a movie that will challenge you. \u00a0It takes a particular moment in the life of this famous philosopher, the moment when she reported on the trial of Adolf Eichmann for the New Yorker, and opens it out into the massive controversy that followed.<\/p>\n It was in her coverage of the Eichmann trial that she coined the term “the banality of evil” based on her observations of Eichmann as an ordinary man. \u00a0The controversy that embroiled her ensued with the publication of the New Yorker Article. \u00a0It contained 10 pages in which she points to Jewish leadership as implicated, by omission, in the Holocaust. \u00a0She was damned as a self-hating Jew and a blamer of victims.<\/p>\n This movie shows her as a courageous, thoughtful and brave intellectual, unafraid to speak her own truth and unflinching in her analysis.<\/p>\n A difficult movie in some ways and certainly not thrilling, but important. \u00a0I recommend it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Winter \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Winter Moon Hannah Arendt. \u00a0Here’s a movie that will challenge you. \u00a0It takes a particular moment in the life … Continue reading Hannah Arendt<\/span>
