Stunning!!!

Rating: 10/10 (22 March 2005)

This was one of the most brilliant war films I have ever seen in my life. The description and portrayals of the Reich are one of absolute shocking madness, and what a performance by Bruno Ganz. It could be so easy to make a mockery, or comical, or over the top performance, but no. When you see Ganz up on screen you are literally staring into madness, you really think it's "him".
Amazingly executed, wonderfuly crafted, insanely scripted by the demons that only "der Fhurer" could provide, der Untergang is a flat out MASTERPIECE.
Nobody in this film is sympathetic, that is beyond obvious. The greatest thing this film shows (ecspecially those people who are it's detractors) how his followers so blindly led him and were gutless to stop anything, so much so that when Magda murders her 6 children it becomes the most powerful scene on film I have witnessed in many years.
A MUST SEE!!
