A German masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (19 September 2004)

I've just seen this movie, and I was surprised by an amazingly good acting. Bruno Ganz is for sure the "best" Adolf Hitler ever. The audience was laughing when he first entered the screen, but suddenly everybody was quiet and astonished. You might think that Hitler himself has played this role. Same for Ulrich Matthes as Goebbels, outstanding acting. You can really feel the atmosphere in the bunker and maybe understand deeds and actions that seemed unbelievable before. The plot was written by history, hence its even harder to keep the audience excited. But this movie just works. Another pro for this movie is that it doesn't judge anything, it trys to explain history. 8 out of 10.
