The best war movie I've ever seen!

Downfall, the last 12 days in Hitler's bunker. Much better than Letters From Iwo Jima, the director of Downfall made no effort to "humanize" the enemy. The image of Goebbel's wife poisoning her six children, because she did not want to live in a world without Hitler and National Socialism, will live with me forever. There is no need to know anything else about her. I don't care if she was highly educated, or played the violin, or visited America and neither did the filmmakers. The bitch supported a monstrous regime and she murdered her own children, what more is there to say about such a person?

Based on the experience of Hitler's secretary this film is a fascinating view of what went on during the fall of the Third Reich as the Russians entered Berlin. Himmler and others were desperately trying to make contact and surrender to the Americans because they knew that the Russians would not cut them any slack.

As for Hitler's ideological resemblance to the left wing in this country it was startling. His desire to steal from the rich property and business owners (Jews in this case, often true in America as well) and redistribute funds and properties confiscated from them. His antisemitism. His vegetarianism. His love of animals over humans. His worship of art, and in particular architecture, (the only people I know who are enamoured of architecture are leftists) all mirror the current social positions and interests of those on the left. He believed that you could entirely recreate society through social welfare programs and the deliberate reconstruction and engineering of public spaces. Euthanasia of the weak and unfit. Medical experimentation. A devotion to science and technology.

At the end, before his suicide, Hitler bemoans the decadent West and it's inferiority to the discipline of the East. The horror of what Hitler subjected Europe to, the complete starvation and utter degradation of his own people and he still blamed them for not being good enough.

Good point! All non_Americans are NOT human. Shame on Clint for trying to show the Japs as people too. He should be shot for treason.

I'm not surprised that you like the boy buggering Spartans.

Obviously you did not read my review of 300. The Japs weren't people too, sorry to say.

How right you are. You know who else isn't human? The people in the Blue States!

I say kill everyone who isn't exactly like me and who didn't grow up in my home town of Podunk, West Virginia.

How dare people be different from me?!

Grrrrrr!!!!
