Very impressive and outstanding cast

Rating: 9/10 (24 February 2010)

When I saw this film, I was very impressed by the role of Bruno Ganz playing Adolf Hitler. I think they're not many people who would like to play one of the most insane dictators of human history. But Bruno Ganz did a great job doing so. He played his role so convincing you might think Hitler was exactly like that. He was not just mad and insane all the time, but also showed human traits so now and then. To the end, the film becomes more and more dramatic and really gives you the feeling you are inside that bunker as an invisible spectator. You're experiencing the last desperate moments of Hitler and his military leaders finally resulting in their suicide. One of the scenes which struck me most, was the one in which Hitler thanked the Hitler-Jugend for their bravery and effort. I recently saw the original footage and it showed great accuracy and similarity with the film. Some believe this film is a tribute to the Nazis or a 'Hitler-glorification' which I myself fully disagree. This film simply shows the facts whether we like it or not but is at the same time very instructive.
