In April of 1945, Germany stands at the brink of defeat with the Russian Army closing in from the east and the Allied Expeditionary Force attacking from the west. In Berlin, capital of the Third Reich, Adolf Hitler proclaims that Germany will still achieve victory and orders his generals and advisers to fight to the last man. When the end finally does come, and Hitler lies dead by his own hand, what is left of his military must find a way to end the killing that is the Battle of Berlin, and lay down their arms in surrender.

Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
nickboldrini Well acted and shot, this details the banality and surreal existence of the Fuhrer bunker in the closing days of the war. It shows the party-ing in desperation, compared to the fanatiscim of others, against the fantasy of control of the battles by Hitler, contrasted with scenes outside the bunker showing the reality of the collapse of the reich. Uncomfortable, but fascinating, viewing.
antoniocasaca123 Good film, good performances by most of the actors, it is excellent to be a German film and not from another country, with its privileged view of the historical events that occurred in his own country and that were caused by the same. I think the film could still be better, I think there was something to it, because it is one of the most remarkable events in the history of the twentieth century. As for the controversy that the film generated, I think it has no reason to be, I think even the film is not very controversial considering its theme, in this aspect I think it could have gone further. I do not agree with anyone who says that the film "humanizes" Hitler. I do not see anything in the film that strikes me as this sense or objective, because in several scenes Hitler refers to his pride in the "works" he has performed, among which the extermination of about 6 million Jews.
cinemajesty Movie Review: "Der Untergang - Downfall" (2004)The entire picture on one actor's shoulders, here in Bruno Ganz, who portrays the infamous historical figure of Adolf Hitler too such extent that this internationally-acclaimed motion picture directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel, who gets over-powered by producer Bernd Eichinger (1949-2011) to fulfill an honest attempt to recreate the final days of "World-War-2" Berlin-bunker-isolations of leading members of the National-socialist party."Downfall" begins with Hitler personally-recruiting the aftermath-book-writing real-life Traudl Junge (1920-2002), portrayed by innocent convictions-spreading, yet full-collaboration exposingly up-playing actress Alexandra Maria Lara, when emotionally-deep-striving demon confrontation seeking picture means to deliver accurate facts to dramatizing revelations in high peaking ultra-thrilling as devastating conclusions in propaganda ministry family of married with six children get drugged to death in a mid-night cyanide-raid by trauma-given performances ignited by match-making Corinna Harfouch & Ulrich Matthes as Magda & Joseph Goebbels, convincing even Hollywood's Finest that this motion picture prevails as being an important one to be revisited in any cinematic historical event on failing dictatorships.Producer Bernd Eichinger makes sure that in the end every film-making department looks toward utmost excellence in peaks of contemporary German cinema, which just faded since producer's heart-stroking death in Los Angeles, California at age 61 in this clearly-Hollywood-embracing audiovisual striking efforts through the producer's thirty years lasting career in now more globalizing motion picture event movie industries. © 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
