Of historical importance

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2005)

Very well made and acted. The downward spiral ends with Hitler. From his suicide onwards you can perceive the darkness begin to lift. In Hindsight what is amazing to see is that some of the NAZI refuse or cannot see it happening. For those sad souls, the death of Hitler is the end of the world. Most chilling is the extinction of the Goebbels family. The guilty also take away with them the innocent who are associated with them, such as the children and the dog. You also feel sorry for Hitler himself, he has made his pact with the devil, and he appears gone from us as a normal human being despite the attempts by Eva Braun to put some humanity back in. This is not just a historical film but also a study in psychology as well.
