Movie #446 "Downfall" was a chore to get through --- took me three days. Not that it was boring --- it was too heavy to watch --- too many people committing suicide, shooting dogs, shooting each other, taking poison pills, watching Hitler going nuts with his military, them rolling their eyes at his orders, people still following his stupid orders, it went on and on..........if you are at all interested in the downfall of the third reich, this is the movie to see --- it is all delineated here, and told through the eyes of his secretary. I would never see it again, but I feel better informed on the subject, and it didn't leave me with a lot of questions --- it was quite inclusive. In fact, that's a fault it has ---- too many names to follow --- got lost remembering who was who at times.
I rate it 3 stars.
