Downfall; April 1945, A nation awaits its downfall

During the time of my internship in L.V.Prasad Studio, Chennai. I got a chance to see this astounding movie. The movie has changed my thinking about Adolf Hitler. The movie is in German language. The way each character is drawn is simply amazing.

The movie is fully shot in limited locations which clearly depicts the crisis faced by the Nazis during the end of world war II. Oliver Hirshbiegel, the director of the movie has done an amazing job. This movie has undergone lots of controversies because this is one of those very rare movies which has showcased Hitler and his men as human being and not just as evil.

The whole story is about the last 12 days of Hitler narrated out of the sight of her young secretary, Traudl Junge. The movie clearly shows the tensions among the Nazis in those last 12 days. In April 1945, Germany faces serial attack by the Russian army. Even in that crisis, Adolf Hitler proclaims that Germany will achieve victory. As, Hitler finds that all his hopes are fading in smoke. Hitler still orders his men to keep fighting.

The movie amazes the patrons by some sequences, in which some men pledge to go to die with their Furhur. after watching this movie, you will admire Hitler in someways. Though he was inexorable, but still there are many things inside him which truely makes him a leader. The scenes of Hitler discussing with his men, about the fastest way to die will really stuns all ur emotions.

Bruno Ganz who played the role of Hitler has done a majestic job in the film. His body language in this movie simply amazing. The way the dialogues are written creates a greater impact on the character. The tone used in the film is very different from usual movie.

This movie has won many prestigious awards and has gained recognition world wide. Do watch this great movie and please come forward to place ur comments. Thank you!
