“Come children. If you finish your dinner you can come say goodnight to Uncle Hitler!”

“YAAAAAAY!!!”

Oh boy. Doesn’t Uncle Hitler just roll right off the tongue? I almost couldn’t believe that this was a line in the movie. But it was. This nonchalant approach to the most twisted man in history is one of the things that makes Downfall so great. It brings a personal and human element to the man that was responsible for millions of innocent deaths. Hitler is a man whose name sends chills down your spine and the very sight of him fills your head with images of hate, sadness, and torture. But what if he was at your dinner table? What if he was…

Just in case you're wondering, I am indeed at this moment uploading my 'Hitler Reacts To Steve Grzesiak Watching Downfall' video on YouTube.

Downfall really is the most unlikely film to have a scene taken from it and made far more famous than the actual film itself, even more so that it's through a long played-out internet meme.

Country: Germany

Downfall is an intriguing account of the last days of Adolf Hitler. It follows the people who stuck with Hitler till the very end and captures the fear and hopelessness of the situation perfectly as the Russians close in on Berlin and Hitler. Downfall features a powerful performance from Bruno Ganz as Hitler and you suspect that needed to be the case if the film were to succeed, Ganz plays Hitler brilliantly as he slips farther and farther away from the reality of the situation and starts second-guessing his closest associates. At 2 and a half hours long maybe it dragged a bit at the end, but just a…

Sere franco, Hitler me parece uno de los hombres mas interesantes de la historia, meterse en la mente del dictador debe ser un experiencia increíble y estoy esperando la película que me haga sentir como él. Exacto, 'El hundimiento' no hace justicia. En la obra se retrata la caída de Hitler y Alemania, centrándose en los personajes del gabinete del dictador. La dirección artística es soberbia, consigue meterte en la situación perfectamente solamente por lo visual. Que decir de Bruno Ganz, él es Hitler, consigue una actuación impecable que borra al actor para dejar paso al personaje. Las actuaciones secundarias también son francamente buenas ademas de los personajes muy bien construidos.

Toda la teoría esta perfecta, pero el enfoque llevado…
