Well made film, but not entirely my cup of tea...

Rating: 6/10 (29 November 2019)

'Downfall' is indeed a very well made film, but I fear the film's appeal might be limited to those interested in history only - specifically Hitler. It was interesting to see a film about the powerful, ruthless Hitler's final moments, where he has lost all hope in winning the war.
Hitler is portrayed as an emotional person who even shows regret and compassion, and not the tyrant he was. Yes, he has his outbursts, but one might even feel sorry for him in this film (only if you're not familiar with his history, off course). Although he remained stubborn until the very end, this once powerful dictator - the devil himself - died cowardly by his own hand. May he rot in hell for all eternity! (Bruno Ganz was excellent as Adolf Hitler).
Ultimately, the film was too much of a talkie with very little action. Note, this is not a war movie in the true sense, and with a running time of 156 minutes, it was a bit of a drag.
