The End of All Things

Rating: 10/10 (25 July 2019)

We are all heroes in our own stories, are we not? This is a unique and powerful story told from the perspective of those who have done great wrong, or if they themselves hadn't done anything terrible, they're culpable in that they helped a great wrong to come to fruition by their indifference to those they were hurting, and are suddenly forced to face that ugly sin. This is a movie wracked with guilt and shame. It's certainly not a fun watch, but it's important. How often do we get to see things from the Nazi perspective? From the perspective of Hitler himself even?
I feel like with a lot of WWII movies and fiction, German's have become heartless, faceless evil storm troopers that kill without mercy and enjoy doing it, but we have to remember that these were real people who really, wholeheartedly believed in the cause they were pursuing. They were tricked into following a madman; they simply ate up the rhetoric he was spewing without a second thought until it was too late to really do anything. (Take note, America; don't follow the crazy man with bad hair who hates people that aren't like him)
