Downfall (2005)

Wartime Drama - German language with English subtitles. Close look at Adolf Hitler and his dream of National Socialism as it collapses to the Russians during the invasion of Berlin. Most of the film is shot inside a bunker, with occasional graphic looks at wartime casualties. Hitler commits suicide with his closest secretary and wife, and the body is burned to ashes. Others devoted to the Nazi cause follow suit. Excellent performance by Swiss actor Bruno Ganz as Hitler, screaming, pounding, and straining for the remains of control as the armies around him are destroyed. A long 2 hours and 30 minutes of violence and destruction, I found it tedious to watch. But very real.
