Downfall

I've watched this film a couple of times now and as a historian with a BA in History I am always looking for the little things that were done right or wrong in a film. One thing that's always bothered me is how Hitler is refered to as the most notorious figure of the era while very clearly Stalin is by far the most heinous dictator of the time having been responsible for the death of easily twice as many people and the enslavement of so many more,

This is one of the best WWII movies I have ever seen. I am a fan of all war movies but especially WWII. All actors were top notch and very believable in their lines and mannerisms. It's not so much about the fighting with this movie. Yes there is some shooting and explosions but this movie gives what I think is a believable peek at Hitler and some the top Nazis final days. I never sympathize with Nazis but some were very "innocent" people who just were caught up. I am glad some lived to be old.

Brutal and inyaface portrayal of a very human albeit irrational and maniacal person who WAS VERY flesh & blood. Feeling pity for genocidal murderer was the intention of this movie and the director. Well done and probably THE closest we will ever get to witness regarding this evil dictator who advocated total war against his own people and the annihilation of what he has termed, 'international jewry'.
