How controversial would a biopic film depicting Hitler be?

As long as they have Mel Brooks consulting.

It would be interesting if it was historically accurate.

They would have to be careful about humanizing the character of Hitler though

I think we have had those, actually. Can't remember a movie, but I remember a mini series about Hitlers rise to power, think it was called something like "Hitler: Rise of Evil", or something like that.

Of course, how controversial it is depends on if it decides to justify him or not. The former would be very controversial, and I think we can do without it.

Note: Not telling the audience that he is a monster is not the same as justifying his actions. It's entirely possible to make a movie or series about an evil person and just portray them as human. The audience is smart enough to figure out he is evil if they just see him being evil. The reason I make this disclaimer is because one really good movie about Hitler became a bit controversial because it never explicitly said that he was evil and portrayed him in a rather human light (though it didn't say he was good either, it just showed that he was human... an evil human, yes, but still human).

Honestly, a intellectually honest biopic about Hitler done by Mel Brooks would probably do a lot of good.

I would like to see them make an accurate depiction of his life but that is not possible. We all know who pulls the strings on such a project.

It's not possible to even make this movie atm because of all the anti-semitism from the college protests.
