A history lesson to be watched

Rating: 9/10 (11 October 2005)

An outstanding movie. It was a little slow getting into it but ending up being a fast paced, action packed adventure into the mind of a mad man. Watching this movie and not knowing the history of Hitler and World War 2 you almost feel sorry for the guy. But to the families of the millions of people he ordered murdered, there is no sorrow for him. I found this movie very educational. It should be shown to high school students in all history classes. It starts by showing Hitler with a human side, then moves him to his delusional state that eventual shows him as a psychotic killer. The acting captured the mood when Hitler felt that his armies were coming to recapture Berlin and make everything right for, knowing very well that his armies were being defeated and there was no rescue. The way it was portrayed how Hitler turned on his biggest supporters when they realized all was lost and surrendered was bone chilling. His marriage to Eva Braun, a woman as nutty as he was, was also bone chilling on someone could love a man like Adolph Hitler. They both got what they deserve in the end although there still is doubt that they killed themselves and were burned. I still have beliefs that Hitler and Eva lived there lives out in Argentina, but I guess that story is for another movie. As long as you can stand the sub titles, I highly recommend this movie so that everyone can learn how this man nearly took over the world and maybe they will get an idea on how many other tyrants are out there is the modern world today.
