This film shows all and explains nothing
The Downfall describes the ten days leading up to Hitler's bunker suicide on April 30th, 1945. The tattered German Army surrendered a week later. It is the first significant film about Hitler made by a German film company. That Germans had to wait 60 years to confront their leader's demise is an...

So Real, So Chilling
Not since Das Boot have we watched a movie so "REAL". It truly was like you were there watching the real people back in history. We found the dinner table discussion on the principles of Darwin to be especially disturbing knowing that Hitler had read his writings.

Stunning Achievement
I have read "The Last 100 Days", "The Last Battle", as well as other accounts of the last days of Hitler. I had watched a couple of cinematic accounts of those final days and I generally came away with the sense that the films were excessive. Admittedly, it's hard to be excessive about this...

Gripping!
This is a film that WWII history buffs must own. The acting, uniforms, weapons, and sets are frighteningly authentic, so much so that one thinks that it is actually Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler, etc., that is before our eyes. The film is obviously about Hitler's final days in the bunker. But I...

A Masterpiece of Historical Cinematography
A superb dramatic production, Downfall (Der Untergang) has set the standard of excellence for historical films. Based on Inside Hitler's Bunker: The Last Days of the Third Reich by Joachim Fest, Until the Final Hour: Hitler's Last Secretary by Traudl Junge and Melissa Müller, and the memoirs of...

3.5 stars out of 4
The Bottom Line:An exceptionally well-acted and well-made war film, Downfall transcends any controversy about its point of view by portraying the last few days of the Third Reich as an observer without any sympathy; the film is a must see to history buffs or anyone interested in good films.

Best movie I've seen in a long time
This movie is quite possibly the best I've seen in a long time... at least since Schindlers List in 1998. The movie does introduce the characters rather abruptly and anyone who is not somewhat familiar with the high ranks of the Nazi regime may feel a bit confused at first. With that said,...

Amazing
DOWNFALL recreates the last days of Adolph Hitler as World War II, and the holocaust, come to a close. The film begins a bit earlier than the "downfall", about 1942 to show Hitler meeting his secretary, from which the story is told. The movie, as is many, is based on Joachim Fest's book, Inside...

Of Lost Causes
Those who go on fighting in lost positions deserve our admiration. This movie is about honour, insanity, anguish, despair, vain hopes, and the aesthetics of death. Those who seek to derive some concrete historical lessons from this movie, have completely missed the point. For "Der Untergang"...
