Sorry, but I cannot watch any further. The Downfall spoiled me. There was a movie! When you hear nazis with plummy Brit accents, it just loses it for me.
@MrStig691 Who the hell are you? True Brits are Anglo Saxon! My own ancestry goes back to the tribal system. By USA Speak I was implying the murder of some beautiful European languages when spoken with an America accent. Am I allowed that opinion?
@hoipiepeloiification I agree, I dont know why they cant make movies where the germans speak german, the russian speak russian and the american speak english.
I can't believe that anyone could criticise Hopkins' performance here. He's an actor recreating a human being - a monster, but a human being. He gives every role he ever plays absolute clarity and a totally convincing inner life. He does exactly that here, even when the task's almost impossible. He's not doing an impression or an impersonation, he's breathing life into a character, in this case a tormented, psychotic fanatic, and he's totally credible. He never disappoints. Ever!
Haven't seen this one but there was a series on cable tv that was an all German made production about Hitler's last days. I thought it was really excellent especially the actor who played Hitler. Sorry I don't recall the name of the series.
Having said that, this is not how Speer told it. He said that the reason he could put his plan into action was practical: the filters were too high - like chimneys and certainly not on the ground - and he couldn't reach them without attracting attention. Personally, I think that even though he considered the plan to the point of securing the gas, he just wasn't the type to go through with it. Ironically perhaps, Albert Speer was no killer.
@46spoony you mean you vant zem to speak like zis? Nah, as much as Hitler with a Welsh accent annoys me, it'd be worse if you had a bunch of British actors hamming it up with German accents.
@TokioHotelAnti No, he doesn't. Finding a double for Hitler is more than slapping a Charlie Chaplin mustache on an actor. David Bammler in Valkyrie did a splendid job as Hitler. And the German actor in Der Untergang did the best job of all. it is very hard to find likenesses for people like Goering (however, Brian Cox looked and acted much like Goering in the 2000 TNT film "Nuremberg"). i have seen no one come as close to Goering as he. Rutger Hauer in "Inside the Third Reich" was a good Speer.
Sorry to burst your bubble but most so called 'history' is lies....and to base your knowlege on movies/TV is like basing your idea of food on tv dinners or music on MTV....truth is the zionists put Hitler in power and had the very same goals...
@rickk4art Well, if you say so, stranger on the internet, then I guess that I am fully convinced, and will now completely ignore all the other evidence and testimony to the contrary -- your mere assertion of your alternate point of view makes for a compelling argument. Oh, wait, it totally doesn't....
@rickk4art Put him in power?.....No. But the Nazis did cooperate with the zionist movement before and during the war, a fact covered up today. History is whatever the mass media says it is. And we know who owns the media.
Hiler was really an evil demented mad mind. If Col staufenberg the one eyed hero of Africa would have succeeded in his plot to kill this son of a bitch WWII could have ended in 1944. But the destiny of Germany was destruction only. One must watch Tom Cruises Operation Valkyrie and an earlier version of 1980s 'Plot to assasinate Hitler'. Not to forget the German versions of Bruno Ganz's 'Downfall' alongwith 'Stauffenberg'. The actor also acted in the dutch resistance movie 'the black book'.
Also watch Hilter the last 10 days of STAR WARS star sir Alec Guiness starring as Adolf Hitler. will someone please upload it on you tube for gods sakes. I am dying to watch it guys.............
@DesertLynx83 yes, it was more accurate because in 1981, there wasn't much to go on. All they had were statements from the Fuhrerbunker survivors-most of those statements were false because of faded memories. In the 1990's they had uncovered new evidence of what really went on there. The last living Bunker survivor, Rochus Misch, finally came forth with the truth.
The opening of the Russian Red October Archives has proven that Speer was a flat out liar. Present at Posen and well aware of his slave labourers. He should have been hung at Nuremburg,
They try to make him look like a hero or something in this movie. What rubbish. Devoted follower of Hitler more like it.
Any viewers who object to the cast coming from different countries with different English accents should remember that there would be just as great a range if they were talking German, especially as there is no prejudice against speaking with a regional accent in Germany, as is still often not the case in the UK, however high you may be in the social scale. Much better than fake German accents.
Historically this is absolute bullshit. Perpetuating Speer's discredited plan as told at Nuremberg to kill Hitler. I wonder also why Hitler's hand was not shaking.
@JSLegoMaster How the hell should a historical event get "copied". They are just 2 movies about the same topic. I like both, though i preferDer Untergang, cause im German and i like the german actors and the german point of view (lenguage authentical etc) more ( though the Actors in "the bunker" doing a great job!).
We Americans didnt do too well at this movie so far
