Review of Downfall (1997) by Kevin M — 17 Dec 2011
An amazing account of the last 10 days of Hitler and his surrounding allies' lives. Bruno Ganz plays the best Hitler I've ever seen. His acting is amazing. When he yells, you can truly feel his anger.
Everyone perceives Hitler as a monster, and a monster only. While he is, Downfall shows a side of him most people never knew: that he was human. He shows care for his people. There were some things that Downfall showed me that I never knew: Hitler's left hand constantly shook due to tremors.
And I had no idea Hitler killed himself way before all of the other generals. If you're interested in how Hitler died, this is a perfect movie to show you how everything unfolded.
