Tara and I enjoyed this film. Well, Tara enjoyed the beginning, and I enjoyed it all. Tara has no opinion on the end, I dare say, because she was asleep.
Downfall is an award-winning subtitled film about the last days of Hitler in his little Berlin hidey-hole. Of all WWII films, this one is probably the best actor-portrayal of the furher i've ever seen. Its also a really good movie. I mean, its not like you dont know how it ends (maybe he'll escape and have his brain embalmed in a jar?), but it keeps you watching, partly because the film was culled from the personal recollections of his secretary, and its really weird to see how it all 'went down' in the underground bunker. I'd put this one up there with Das Boot and Life is Beautiful in terms of 'great WWII movies', definitely a must-see, even though we've all seen 200 WWII movies within the last 10-15 days.
Returning to the pizzza-slice verification standard: 7/8 slices.
