Downfall Review

This film is a well-crafted description of the final period of the Nazi Reich. The realism was heightened by the dialogue being in German, and there were enough vignettes during the film showing with awful accuracy the brutality of the war. In some ways I found this film "got you" at a more frightening psychological level than Saving Private Ryan. In some ways there is no comparison between the two. Highly recommended.

Absolutely superb film!

If you are at all interested in history (and you should be), this film is required viewing. In no other film have I seen the power that Hitler apparently held over seemingly rational people depicted so convincingly. Also, the level of attention devoted to the sets and costumes is amazing. The uniforms, weapons, buildings, all authentic. You feel as if you are there in wartime Germany. Ironically, many of the street scenes were filmed in St. Petersburg, Russia. The acting is on a level rarely seen anywhere. Bruno Ganz makes you forget that you are watching an actor and simply puts Hitler before you as a believable person rather than as a caricature or stereotype. The supporting cast is equally impressive. See this film. It is, in my opinion, one of the best films ever made about World War II.

Mass human destruction was used as Hitler's dream to rule..........He wakes up in time to die. Wow!

I felt I was really there and the German actors where great and would not have done it any other way.

The best german movie of our times

I saw this excellent german movie, here in Brazil.Since the times of Leni Reifensthal,decades ago, no other german movie was so good, as this amazing movie.

great film

The person that played Hitler was outstanding.It is missing the fifth star because the ending was weak.One thing for sure if you have studied Hitler you know Eva Braun would have never been up on a table dancing.Also he never kissed her in public except on the cheek and that was not often.
