AKA - The Downfall
Tagline: April 1945, a nation awaits its...
Dir - Oliver Hirschbiegel
Genre - Drama, War, History, Biography
Cast: - Bruno Ganz, Alexandra Maria Lara, Juliane Kohler, Heino Ferch
Production Budget - €13,500,000 ($20,270,000)
Downfall is a movie showcasing the end of the Hitler regime, including Hitler himself, in the perspective of his last secretary, Traudl Junge. The movie depicts the psychological state of the Fuhrer's mind during his last days, when it starts to dawn upon him that Germany is facing a downfall. Bruno Ganz (Hitler) performs brilliantly, one would not think that he is merely, acting as Hitler.
The rage, but at the same time, the helplessness that Hitler felt, when his own Generals ignored his orders is shown with immaculate perfection. The other characters, although supportive, dont shine out and only render help for the script to continue.
The war scenes are graphic and at par with Saving Private Ryan. The settings & scenes of the underground tunnel where Hitler and his Generals took shelter portray an authenticity to the whole canvas of the ongoing war.
Upsides: The authenticity that is conjured up by the combination of peformance, direction, screenplay & dialogues is something to look forward too.
Downsides: The movie somehwere loses the interest of the viewer when it moves away from the main character, i.e., Hitler. Moreover, the not-so-hot performances of the other characters add to this ordeal.
Trivia: (Pertaining to actual events) During the war, the majority of the cyanide capsules produced were made in the concentration camps, which made sabotage a real problem. This is one of the reasons why many Germans who committed suicide by cyanide also shot themselves to make sure they would die. This is also the reason why Hitler's beloved dog Blondi was poisoned; he wanted to make sure his batch of cyanide was not fake.
