Downfall (2004)

In 7 words or less: Hitler loses the plot in Berlin bunker.

Best bits? Felt really insightful watching Hitlers last days play out, all unravelling in his terrifying, secret bunker. Never really seen anybody act properly as Hitler before, this chap does an incredible job! The way he slowly shows Hitler's demise on screen is furiously compelling stuff.

You really feel like you're stuck in that bloody bunker with the third reich too! When you do finally get a glimpse of the outside world it's like coming up for air after being underwater! Take a deep breath because these moments are rare.

Did it make you think thoughts? The overall intensity of this film is pretty nuts! I treated it as hard fact too! It was like learning a new bit of history that had only just surfaced Why has this story been left relatively untouched?

Don't think I've ever seen so many suicides committed to celluloid in all my days. My god it gets bleak towards the end.

Would you watch it again? Yeah. It's pretty fascinating.

Rating (out of 100%): 80% Powerful stuff!
