Downfall (DVD, 2005)

Relentlessly bleak....but very enjoyable

Feels weird to say I thoroughly enjoyed a movie about H*tler.....but I did. Great movie, very true to the books it's based off. DVD arrived in great condition. No complaints. 5 stars

Sympathy for the devil or "what's a nice guy like you doing in a place like this?

Overly sympathetic portrayal of history's nastiest piece of work. Well made, well put together but the message is morally doubtful. Best comment on the bunker was from an allied officer who arrived shortly "after"; it, approriately enough, "stank" Read full review

Impressive

Impressive performance by the actor playing Hitler which enables the film to hold structure. Not light-hearted, as you would expect but impactful and holds attention.

A brilliant DVD

Hitler played brilliantly by Bruno Ganz.
Don't be put off the subtitles as the film is both entertaining and moving in different places.

Totally engaging and excellent historical representation of the last days of the most evil mass murdere in human history.

While there is the minor historical inaccuracy as narrated by the survivors in later years, the actual film was as true to the actual events as could be expected. The acting was excellent, the filming was and effects were superb and the whole storyline was made the movie well worth watching. The extras such as where and how it was filmed was very informative.
All in all well worth the experienceRead full review

Deep in the bunker

A film about the last days of Hitler and his descent into madness as the end neared and those around him being loyal or realising that the end was getting closer but failing to stop him
