Very Well done

Rating: 9/10 (22 March 2012)

Der Untergang, or The Downnfall, was a very well scripted and depicted movie about the events that took place in Hitler's Berlin Bunker. The story is made better by the perspective from which it is told. It is about a young lady who becomes Hitler's secretary and how she views the events in the final days of the Third Reich. It is a very compelling and emotional movie but is not for the faint of heart as the movie can be graphic at times but aside from the grotesque scenes, the movie is fantastic.
9/10 and I highly recommend to anyone interested in WWII movies from the German perspective and how Nazi Germany really met its end. A bit on the long side is the only downside but if you can take the length then you will enjoy this movie immensely.
Other recommended titles (WWII based on true events): Schindler's List, Resistance, Redtails
