I just watched a rather spectalur little film called Der Untergang, or "Downfall" in English. It's about the last ten days or so of Nazi Reign over Germany, focusing around Hitler's secretary, Traudl. It's won a few awards, and really surprised me about how they were able to portray many of the people whom we try to have shown as soulless monsters so fairly. They're still horrible, yes, but you also feel for them. It's all in German and with a little bit of Russian (the last bit, being a rather short conversation), but it did nothing to detract from the film (obviously enough). I would recommend it, but I would also like to hear the forum's opinion on the movie.

Only reason I even know of this movie is because of all of the parodies of Hitler's outburst, my favorite of which being this one.

I haven't actually seen it, although I can see why it wouldn't portray them as complete monsters, given everything I've learned about the people committing these horrible acts.

I'll have to check out this movie if you recommend it Retro. Like Marx, I've only seen the Hitler parodies.

Damn, now I want to play Fire Emblem on my Wii. When are they gonna make a new one for DS?

Hey, that's just the kind of bullshit that always happens to me. I feel his pain there.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm missing some all important truth in the world. At that point I usually grab some chips and watch the people who have apparently found it tear each other apart in the super market over the now last bag of chips...

I've seen this movie. It's really, really good. I'm all about any film that shows Hitler as a person, and that scene where the mother poisons all her children in their sleep? Classic.
