makes me wonder what i self would have done (or not done)

Rating: 10/10 (3 August 2008)

the message is clear. this picture shows us in one hit by a historical example, the almost unlimited extremity's the human race is capable of. under the right circumstances it can lead to fatal results. examples:
PSYCHOPATH (Hitler) not every psychopath becomes a Hitler, and there is more to it to become what he had become. but the extreme belief in himself without any self criticism or doubt and the lack of a conscious telling him wrong from right took away (in his mind) all responsibility of what he had caused.
INNOCENCE (traudle junge) at her age and unspoiled mind, she's incapable of imagining that the people she's surrounded with are capable of doing things she herself would not be capable of. it's life experience that teaches you these things.
FANATISM (mrs goebbels) being so obsessed in the believe in the regime and what it stands for, that life after the end of it is simply unthinkable. and because her children are a part of her, if she go's: they go with her.
GREED/POWER/WEAKNESS etc.... just to name a few "flaws" of the human race that can lead to disaster. people kept saying after the war: we should learn from it to prevent it from happening again. what i learned is that the human race hasn't changed (and probably never will) it's the circumstances that made and make it possible. the right people at the right time (or the wrong people so to say) will make it happen again.
back to the movie: we see masterfully filmed and acted how different people live and see things there own way. the fantasy world of eva braun was very impressive.
it's an overwhelming movie. i need to see it a few times more to capture it all. but the message is clear.
