The End of a true life horror of dictation

Rating: 8/10 (28 August 2005)

DOWNFALL is very well produced, and is truly the depiction behind the secretary of the greatest feared dictator in the 20th century. This film is graphic and surreal in its ability to depict the awful dilemma that faced the German people as they plead their allegiance to the 3rd Reich, and faced the loss of their own personal lives for the sake of it's leader. This film also show the believed nature and psyche of Adolf Hitler and his lack to care even for his own followers. The film shows the tragedies of the results that ended the Germans in their battle of WWII. The film is harsh in its graphics, and yet real to show the hazards of allegiance to a mentally unhealthy ruler. A great film to depict another view of our world history in WWII. A film that can also teach lessons for people now to consider the gravity involved in following a group not allowing compromise in its position.
