Notes et avis

What makes some people so uncomfortable in this movie is exactly what made it fascinating and great. It humanized the Monster. Most feel comfortable thinking of the Nazis as inhuman monsters, unfeeling and capable of great evil. This movie illustrates beautifully the loyalty, the blind devotion that these people had to Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party. The premise itself is a very heavy and challenging topic to address, but all of the actors nailed their performances. Bruno Ganz, in particular, is incredible.

This is one of the best WWII movies I have ever seen. I am a fan of all war movies but especially WWII. All actors were top notch and very believable in their lines and mannerisms. It's not so much about the fighting with this movie. Yes there is some shooting and explosions but this movie gives what I think is a believable peek at Hitler and some the top Nazis final days. I never sympathize with Nazis but some were very "innocent" people who just were caught up. I am glad some lived to be old.

Brutal and inyaface portrayal of a very human albeit irrational and maniacal person who WAS VERY flesh & blood. Feeling pity for genocidal murderer was the intention of this movie and the director. Well done and probably THE closest we will ever get to witness regarding this evil dictator who advocated total war against his own people and the annihilation of what he has termed, 'international jewry'.
