In April of 1945, Germany stands at the brink of defeat with the Russian Army closing in from the east and the Allied Expeditionary Force attacking from the west. In Berlin, capital of the Third Reich, Adolf Hitler proclaims that Germany will still achieve victory and orders his generals and advisers to fight to the last man. When the end finally does come, and Hitler lies dead by his own hand, what is left of his military must find a way to end the killing that is the Battle of Berlin, and lay down their arms in surrender.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

This ultimate meme generator is one great, seriously made movie. Its authenticity is its best asset, as it shows the last days of the fallen German regime as it was. The downfall is of interest to anyone wanting to learn about history, and history is the best teacher of life. The most famous son of Austria is not portrayed entirely as a monster, which is a plus given the authenticity is the goal. But it is the crumbling empire and the atmosphere of utter despair, as the Ruskies come to deliver some well deserved come uponce and tough justice to the country that get a bit over themselves one time too many. NATo and Americans, take note. This is where arrogance and criminality on world stage has ended in history and not once, but EVERY time. Take a good, fresh look what happened to Germany, and then take a good fresh look in the mirror, and perhaps ponder a bit about fate, before making next mindless meme out of some of the many rants of the favorite son of the German nation of the times. Perspective can change, it might take a few well placed bombs from the ever unforgiving Russians, but you can get there eventually.

Traudl Junge, the final secretary for Adolf Hitler, tells of the Nazi dictator's final days in his Berlin bunker at the end of WWII. The best part of Downfall is probably the infamous scene where Hitler is really losing his mind in a completely funny way and trust me that's probably the only redeeming quality of the movie cause the rest of it it's pretty much drop dead boring and just meh. The acting wasn't anything special either to be honest and the story as a whole just disappointing and not that very interesting and honestly just go and check on something else.

If you don't like WW2 history or history in general, you won't enjoy this piece. But if you are a history enthusiast, this movie is a must-watch. It is purely amazing how acting is so realistic and you feel the tension in the bunker. The portrayal of Hitler is truly amazing, how people around him follow his orders, and how much of a madman he is, this movie shows it all.

Movie Review: "Der Untergang - Downfall" (2004)The entire picture on one actor's shoulders, here in Bruno Ganz, who portrays the infamous historical figure of Adolf Hitler too such extent that this internationally-acclaimed motion picture directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel, who gets over-powered by producer Bernd Eichinger (1949-2011) to fulfill an honest attempt to recreate the final days of "World-War-2" Berlin-bunker-isolations of leading members of the National-socialist party."Downfall" begins with Hitler personally-recruiting the aftermath-book-writing real-life Traudl Junge (1920-2002), portrayed by innocent convictions-spreading, yet full-collaboration exposingly up-playing actress Alexandra Maria Lara, when emotionally-deep-striving demon confrontation seeking picture means to deliver accurate facts to dramatizing revelations in high peaking ultra-thrilling as devastating conclusions in propaganda ministry family of married with six children get drugged to death in a mid-night cyanide-raid by trauma-given performances ignited by match-making Corinna Harfouch & Ulrich Matthes as Magda & Joseph Goebbels, convincing even Hollywood's Finest that this motion picture prevails as being an important one to be revisited in any cinematic historical event on failing dictatorships.Producer Bernd Eichinger makes sure that in the end every film-making department looks toward utmost excellence in peaks of contemporary German cinema, which just faded since producer's heart-stroking death in Los Angeles, California at age 61 in this clearly-Hollywood-embracing audiovisual striking efforts through the producer's thirty years lasting career in now more globalizing motion picture event movie industries. © 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
