Ok, sorry you took offense at my question, I

just thought PERHAPS you had (the issue is a white-hot one) decided to trash the movie because of what you had read and not seen.
Now, to the larger point: it seems you are objecting to Ganz's portrayal as AH as a human being, which, quite obviously, he was. He was also a magnetic personality. Quite a few women (probably the entire German female population, actually) were in love with him, with several (Eva being the most known) his actual lovers.
He loved his dogs, it is reported.
What you are asking, it would seem, is what so roundly you criticize in Hollywood---sentimentality in service of truth.
I, for one, can "take" an accurate portrayal.
To me, AH being shown realistically is all the more horrifying. After all, if he truly had been as Hollywood has portrayed him, he would never have swayed the masses.
It is scary to think monsters are sometimes physically and socially indistinguishable from the "ordinary" among us. But that is the uneasy, terrifying fact about psychopaths.
I'll see the movie when it comes to my uncivilized part of the world. Once again, I apologize for causing you offense: none was meant.
