Went to see Downfall last night...It's the last days of Adolf Hitler, April 1945, and Hitler's personal secretary Traudl Junge finds herself in the Der Fuhrer's bunker. Facing inevitable defeat, Hilter's moods range from defiance to fight or flee, remain loyal or opt for self-preservation. Eva Braun parties while Magda Goebbels kills her children. The movie goes on to show how Hitler and Eva lived their last hours in the Bunker...stolen from IMDB.
It was good, but toward the end seemed to drag on a bit...It was intersting to see Hitler losing control of everything around him...As all of his once trusted generals and advisors left he would launch into tyrades about how, "This is the WORST betrayal EVER!!!" Also interesting, even though the Russians were just outside the Berlin city limits shelling constantly, those around Hitler were convinced that he would find a way to victory.
And Hitler = Mo from the Three Stooges...I kept waiting for someone to whack him on the melon with a hammer or something...or maybe give one of the Generals the old eye poke.
