This is a powerful movie. One of the best war movies i have ever seen. The hopelessness of the situation during those last 10 days of probably the most hated man in the history of the world is almost heartbreaking.
Bruno Ganz plays the part of Adolf Hitler perfectly. What we see is a broken man whose plans and dreams are shattered while he tries to hold on to them until the bitter end.
This movie is not pro-nazi nor does it depict them as the monsters everyone says they are. What we see is the war from their side, in utter realism. In the end they are all just people who by their own choice or by force were sucked into a horrible war.
What Traudl Junge (the secretary) said was really moving. Even though she was young and she didn't know better she could have. At the same age as her another German woman by the name Sophie Scholl was rebelling against what the Nazi's were doing. Years ago i found a single page comic that perfectly tells the story of that there is a line between standing up for yourself and what you believe in and going along with what everybody else is doing. I encourage everyone to read this comic.
