Very credible

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2011)

It is clear from this movie that Hitler's secretary, who was a normal girl and no brainwashed Nazi, liked Hitler. And Hitler could be warm and respectful to her while at the same time being responsible and perfectly conscious of millions of deaths. This presents the viewer with a very tough dilemma: why the German people did not see the monster we know Hitler is. What this movie does not show is the bigger mystery, how could Hitler embark the German nation in his enterprise to the gates of Hell. I would like to see a movie by the same director about the rise of Hitler someday. It's a tall order. The directing is excellent and the acting is superb, except for Goebbels but I suppose it is hard to find an actor that is so smart.
