Excellent

Rating: 10/10 (26 March 2006)

This movie is a masterpiece. The acting is superb, and it is as close as possible to the actual events that took place in those last, insane days of the Third Reich. Whoever plays Hitler gives an excellent and noteworthy performance. For once Hitler is actually portrayed as a human being, capable of more than just being a fanatical megalomaniac (as he certainly was). What really strikes you in this movie are two things: a.) The total and absolute destruction of the German state Hitler has led his people into (as evidenced by the ongoing Battle of Berlin, fought by fanatical Hitler Youth and aging conscripts b.) The lunacy of the 3rd Reich, the grotesque, twisted mind of Hitler and the hard to comprehend complete obedience he demanded (and received) from his people.
All in all, a very good movie even if your not a history buff. If you are a history buff, let alone into WW II history, not seeing this movie is a mistake that needs to be rectified immediately. It will not disappoint.
