Outstanding reconstruction of the Third Reich

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2012)

First thing, Bruno Ganz's performance is just the most realistic and only performance that is just like the real Hitler. Everyone in that entire movie, looked so much like their real-life version in the film. Movies like this that focus on making it realistic and accurate as possible seems impossible to do--but Downfall made it possible for any filming crew to search and want these pieces for making a brilliant movie. It also feels more authentic than the other movies about Hitler due to the natural German language. I'm actually glad there's no English dub as they usually would do for foreign language movies--I prefer subtitles over a dub! There are some things that are inaccurate. For instance, Fegelein was a Gruppenfuehrer in real-life during the last days, but in the movie he was a Brigadefuehrer. Those minor inaccuracies don't bother me, but if it's only I'm focusing on another character.
Furthermore, Downfall has to be the most brilliant World War II movie on the final days of the Fuehrer I have ever seen.
