:Downfall" - the Hitler's final days

The German film about last days of Hitler and his Reich is presented through the eys of his secretary. Bruno Ganz gives us yet another Hitler, and is convincing. Romanian born Alexandra Maria Lara plays the secretary... you might recall her in Dr. Zhivago, where she played Tonya.

Films like that should not be analyzed using standard movies measures. For their subject matter is so significant that it propells them towards glorious fiish, even if your typical attributes leave something to be desired.

The movie gives a plausible presentation of the last days, and as such it immediately occupies the spot among recommended history films.

You could argue about some episodes, but that is hardly important, as the overall package is strong.

If you love history, or if you want your children to learn and most importantly FEEL the pulse of that era, this is a good movie to spend three hours.
