Der Untergang


Evil and death are ALWAYS fascinating.

Most of us grow up listening to urban legends of crimes and deaths of famous people. Great ones and ones loathed by eveyone, well almost everyone.

So this weekend, I finally got my hands on Der Untergang(The Downfall). A german movie about the last days of Hitler in his bunker. It is worth EVERY SECOND of it. The best part about the movie is its neutrality. It doesn't judge Hitler, his actions or any of his follower. It is shot in a "matter of fact" way of this is what happened.

If you have heard about Hitler escaping from his bunker via a tunnel, or the fact that he was caught alive. Watch this one. It is based upon the events as recalled by some of the survivours from that bunker.
