Review:

Hitler, a human? what about all the people around him? nothing but spawns of Satan with no feelings. I do not deney that Nazi Germany was evil and wrong, and that the Nazi leadership were insane murderers, but not all Nazis were evil. The potrail of Hitlers sectretary Traudl Jungeand seeing the last days of the elite through here eyes was an unique portrait. THe most dusturbing part was wathing the Goebbels kill their children in their sleep. Such inocents in them, then the shells were raining down, they belived it was thunder. Such innocents in a time where inocents did not exist. Some of the officers truely human and simpathetic traped in a nightmare of scenarios. A dream where one could not wake up from. One of the most enjoyable aspects of this movie was the lack of focus on the war, on the killing in masses. Each death that did occure felt personal, even of high ranking Nazi officials when you should have been detached. The movie focues on the humanity, even when you didn’t expect there to be any. War is hell, total war such as this is unimaginable and we as human beings should never experience it. I cannot imagine what it was like for my grandparents and great-grandparents being there, trampled by Geran boots, but then trying to reconsile that they were human, they are loved by someone, they are homesick and just want to be home. Over all, great movie, and highly recommended.

One interesting Person I find is Speer, the architec.
