Downfall

Don't let the subtitles put you off this movie, it's an intriguing portrayal of the last few days in the Bunker with Hitler and his closest supporters. Bruno Ganz is very believable as the german dictator steadfastly refusing to believe he's losing the war; despite the shelling going on above the bunker.

The polar opposite of light entertainment, this film gives what I fear is a scarily accurate picture of this section of history. The truly interesting thing is that the film doesn't force you into any judgement about Hitler, it portrays him as a well mannered, quiet, determined man who commands great respect. It's not till much later that his horrific ideas start to come through.

Watch This: for another view point on Hitler.

Watch Out For: Hitler's idea of the best mother in Germany........
