Review of Downfall (2004) by Voncarlsson — 30 Dec 2010
This film must simply be seen. Now it must be said, it's not an action film, so don't expect to see a whole lot of it, it's drama.
The film plays with your emotions, it gives the Nazis a face and humanize them, you will come to pity them. I think it's about time we see a daring film as this, that really tries to show the hell that war truly is, not like the Hollywood films that usually glorifies it. And that truly manages to portray Hitler as a human, not a monster, regardless of the unspeakable crimes he committed.
It's a must-see, and watch it in German with subtitles.
