Very accurate

Rating: 9/10 (19 April 2005)

Being a history student and someone who has read a lot about WWII, this movie struck be as being very accurate. I think Ganz's depiction of Hitler is quick remarkable. Portraying the definition of evil while at the same time showing other emotions must have been quite a challenge. The directors choice of someone 10 years older than Hitler was at the time was also interesting. Also, both the Goebbles were chilling P.S. I did not find that the Nazi's were in anyway glorified or justified. The fact he did not give them horns or a pitch-fork tail does not lessen the message that Hirschbiegel wanted to deliver. The Nazi's were human, and they came from human conditions.
