Watch Max For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Maybe, impressive. for the work of John Cusack. for the atmosphere of chess game. for the perspective about a character who seems well known. for tension. for end. and for explanations. a film about the roots of Hitler phenomenon . surprising for impeccable construction. and for the moral. for the clash between two personalities and for the so different intentions. a film reminding the essence of power. in the most honest and cruel way.

Why on Earth was this film made? I mean, really? Didn't anyone stop to think about what they were doing? In this fantasy tale in we get to see Adolf Hitler as a tortured artist. But here's the problem. This story didn't happen. And why in heaven's name do we need to see a fantasy about, for God's sake, Adolf Hitler? Don't get me wrong. I'm not offended per se by never-coulda-happened movies about Adolf Hitler. I loved "Hitler Dead or Alive." "Inglorious Basterds" was a wonderful thrill ride. But when you film an earnest character study about the formative years of the fellow who becomes the greatest evil ever known, you owe it to your audience to ground the story in reality.Things LIKE this story happened. But not this particular story. So we wind up with something so incredibly false that when I sat in my living room watching it on cable TV last night my jaw about fell open. And running through my head was the title song from "Springtime for Hitler," that brilliant musical-within-a-movie from "The Producers." At least we knew that was supposed to be a joke.I read a book years ago about Hitler's starving-artist period, and as the movie began I thought this might be an interesting story about a little-known chapter of Hitler's life. But any illusion I might have had about the movie's reality was dispelled when I saw John Cusack listening to an early-'30s tombstone radio (in 1919!), to a radio report about the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. Umm, radio broadcasting started in 1920; newscasts came later. It's sort of like seeing a movie in which Lewis and Clark settle in for the winter and spend it playing Super Mario Brothers.That was when the truth began to dawn on me, and I put the movie on pause to check the Internet and confirm my suspicion. Yes, they were making the whole thing up.From that point I watched with a growing sense of horror. Like when Hitler explains that his political speeches are actually a new form of art. Or when I watched John Cusack deliver the line, deadpan, "You're a hard man to like, Hitler." We see Hitler in 1920 or so sketching his plans for the Nuremberg rally of 1936 and for the shimmering imperial city we know from the never-built blueprints of Albert Speer. His buddy Cusack, an art dealer, delightedly pronounces them "future kitsch!" So Hitler readies them for an art exhibition that never comes off -- and because it doesn't happen he takes a different path and becomes Fuhrer instead. And the Astoundingly Manipulative Coincidence that ends the movie is really, really just too much to bear.This movie is so wretched in its conception, so appalling in its construction, and so serious about it all, that it deserves a place of honor among the worst films of all time. Heartily recommended for fans of "Plan Nine From Outer Space," but now that I've seen it I'll skip a repeat showing and go watch Hogan's Heroes instead.

"Max" is perhaps one of the most profound films I have ever seen.Max: Where is the work, Hitler? I watched it on my little portable DVD player, expecting to have it on as background. No chance. This movie is riveting from start to finish. It contains an exceptionally brave performance from the young Noah Taylor. John Cusack makes me wish I could be his friend and hang out in his world. He is such a gifted actor, making everything he does seem so natural and effortless. The film is full of great lines: "It's easier to fight a bull from the Barrera." "What was it your brother said about art. Baked Air. Brilliant." To quote just a few.What made this film so relevant to me is that I could identify with the frustrations of the young Hilter as an artist. How he can't get past his own inner barriers to accept art in all its forms. How he is unable to paint his own story and has to destroy his canvasses. This frustration leads him to strive for power and control. Fueled by anger, masking his fear of failure as an artist, he begins his journey in a direction few can continue to identify with.Even as an artist he was more concerned with the trappings of success and fame: to be admired over the influential artists of his era. Yet he didn't put in the time. "Where is the work, Hitler?" "Ernst is up at the crack of dawn." This film is so well observed. For me it serves as a great parable of the artist vs critic debate. Hitler calls politics the new art. And the story seems to let him get away with this unchallenged assertion. But really how can a politician ever be an artist. An artist must be brave enough not to be liked so long as he reveals the truth of human nature. A politician will sacrifice truth in order to be liked by the widest possible demographic. An artist is charged with mining truth to allow us a collective understanding. Where as a politician is a pitch man for a his party's political propaganda. As this movie so deftly shows Hitler to be.I love that line Cusack has quoting Nietzsche, "anti-semitism is the ideology of those who feel cheated." A must see film for anyone who's ever struggled with finding their "true" voice and choosing the harder path in life.

How can somebody honestly put out garbage like this, presenting it like truth.Surely Hitler made some paintings in his time, but these were of poor pictorial value, more artificial than art.Hitler was not a struggling artist - he was a painter/wallpaper-hanger. Any other notion is made as propaganda to whitewash one of the most evil men - ever.The movie tries to portray Hitler as a classic style artist, not interested in any form of non-figurative or speculative art. Why then, did he love the paintings of Franz von Stück so much?Franz von Stuck was an expressionist painter - and was beloved by Hitler. Check out the painting "Der wilde jagt" (The Wild Hunt/Chase) and see if you can figure out why...
