Movie REVIEW : Downfall (German Movie)



I have to say that it has been a while since i've seen a good movie, especially a WW2 movie (or any war movie at that). But this one just blows your mind away.
The movie is about the last couple of days before Adolf Hitlers suicide and the end of his reign as Germany's leader. The movie is well directed with a brilliant unknown cast (well unknown to us, but i think their pretty famous in Germany). The actor who took on Hitlers role was FANTASTIC!
The story is well told, through the eyes of Hitlers secretary at the time and it shows you how Hitler was both a kind and generous person, and yet ruthless and merciless. Besides the obvious, i can describe him into two words AMBITIOUS & GENIUS; the man has to be one of the most underrated minds in this world. YOU MUST WATCH THIS MOVIE.
I'll leave you with one of his sayings during the movie which really left its mark in me:
Hitler to his Generals & Commanding Officers - "You all are dishonorable men, traitors who lack discipline. Waving around your Military Academy certificates. And yet with all your education at this fancy academy, you do nothing. I on the other hand, with no privilege of attending such a prestigious academy managed to conquer all of Europe and North Africa"

RATING : 5/5
