I just saw THE DOWNFALL... best WW2 movie ever.

06-04-2005, 10:10 PM

I just finished The Downfall

http://www.downfallthefilm.com/
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0363163/

And i can say without hesitation it's one of the best ww2 historic film i ever saw. Amazing acting, specially Bruno Ganz as Hitler as well as unbelievable wardrobe, they reproduced to the minimal detail everything related to the deployed wehrmacht, SS, SA, luftwaffe, HJ units in Berlin, april 1945.

If you like history (specially ww2) a must see.

This one it's new, from late 2004... it's shocking because it's the first movie about Hitler made by Germany, and a quite objective one. Also, since it's spoken in german the atmosfere of the time it's greatly improved.

Saw it a few months ago in the theatre....

Worth every minute.

But those looking for the John Wayne USA Rules war movie, well it is not about the USA but about the final days of the 3rd Reich...So you better wait for the movoie " Operation Freedom " soon playing near you.

I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !

But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....

The Downfall shows what it is like to lose a war and your own nation because of one sick, dumb, mean and crazy fuck.

Crappy movie. The story is too long-winded in all the wrong places and the acting is mediocre and unconvincing. Overall, it's simplistic and dull.

mmm, acting it's not mediocre, and for christ sake, unconvincing? Right... im sure it was going to be more convincing if Hitler spoke in english right? Give me a brake... the atmosphere was exactly the same as in that time, not even mention the fact of spoken german. If you pay attention and if you know a thing or two about history, you will notice the filmmakers even reproduced the exact front of the german Chancellory... quite amazing if you consider the actual building was demolished in 1945...

The problem with most people is that they see too few good movies to understand that the mere facts that a movie is in another language than English and that it happens to give a view of events that isn't entirely black and white are enough to make you believe the movie is a good one.
I do not consider this movie a bad one because it tries to give a somewhat balanced view and attempts to be historically accurate, but rather because it fails in its attempts to bring the situation to life in a believable way.

In Der Untergang the acting is wooden, for the most part. The people act like they are acting, not like they are really living. The actor playing Hitler, for example, loses himself in - admittedly accurate - detail and thereby loses the life of the character.

Or look at Traudl. Der Untergang takes her memories as entirely true and correct, not biased in any way. It fails to take into account the obvious fact that the memories of a woman in her early twenties in such a time and place will be greatly distorted afterwards.

Ultimately, this movie fails to achieve its goal because WWII is still too fresh, too near to depict in an objective, vivid way. Historical accuracy and detail are not enough to create a good movie, and depicting Hitler as a man instead of a pure monster is little more significant than pointing out that grass is green.

i saw this one too, though its not as intense as der untergang.
Its also in english, maybe thats why it doesnt give the realistic feeling of der untergang, plus it displays hitler too much as an caricature. But it was a good flick.
