Review of Downfall

Best War film ever made

I'm baffled. Listal users have given this only a 7.7 average?? Did you guys even see this movie, or are you just rating it average because its a film about Hitler? This movie deals with the horror of the Nazi regime and takes place during the final days in Berlin, as Hitler is still defiant and insane and still thinks victory is possible. This movie is better made, more shocking, and sends a more powerful message than other films that deal with the horrors of WW2, such as Schindler's List, The Pianist, etc..

Some people have blasted this film for showing Hitler's human side. Well I have news for you, even though he was a monster, he still had a human side. He did love his dog. He did treat his personal secretary with respect. The film does show plenty of Hitler going insane, yelling at his generals and such, spewing his ideology, but if people were expecting him to run around, kicking his dog, raping women and killing children, sorry. This film is all about 100% accuracy.

10/10

Lots of people aren't into war movies. Without an interest in the regime it might be hard for someone to stay on course for the entire length. I thought it was interesting and I loved most of the acting (Goebbels was a nutcase), but I don't have a lot of stock invested in war movies. An 8 says a lot about that for sure - just because it wasn't a 10 doesn't mean it wasn't great.
