This is almost off-topic, but anyway: I'm german, and I actually LIKE "american accents" in english-speaking films about nazi germany - or about any other non english culture. To me, it always seems *silly* when a film about non-english-speakers employs their countries (supposed) accents. After all, those films are supposed to take place from the viewpoint of native speakers of that foreign language - so let them speak standard english, and everyone else with an accent.
Probably one of the best World War II movies ever. Although there are fantastic World War 2 films by Andrzej Wajda and the classics from the 50s-60s, Downfall is definitely hands down one of the greatest WWII in the recent history, if not the history of cinema. The depiction of Hitler was so accurate and we got to see the side not a lot of people got to see, which was his "human" side, because people perceive Hitler to be this psychopath, when he does have feelings like everyone.
@tradathegreat Absolutely mate! This was a very important film to understand how Hitler could have any followers. Very good movie and i am glad you liked it too! Have a great day Tay and thanks for the great comment!
Fantastic review of fantastic film Adam :) Definitely a great film and great performance from Bruno Ganz!! I'm so happy my friend gave me Downfall 2-disc steelbook special edition as a gift :D
@rondontori13 Thank you my friend :) Glad you enjoyed the review and you like the film. Very important film for everyone to see. Bruno Ganz was amazing in it! Two disc edition is definitely the way to go! Thanks for checking the review out mate :)
@jaythestingray Yep, i did. Just in case you are wondering, it wasnt because of what some dropkicks have been saying. It was just due for a cut, hahahaha ... it gets annoying to wash and comb it after a while. Anyway, i loved this film and i am glad you did too :) By the way, your package arrived :) Will be doing a review of Baby Blood some time in the future. Take it easy my friend!
Yes I have seen this film and it was great it did have a very authentic feel the acting was fantastic. I have seen a few of these parody things. Good review.
@lastalot Yep, i get lazy and it gets to be a huge mop after a while, but its like a trademark of mine. I am noticed on the sport field from the huge head of hair! hahaha ... wont be long before it starts growing again
@81oakridgSTF Uwe Bolls standard has risen since Rampage, so i look forward to that one. I just cant see any War Film topping this one though. Doesnt glorify War, its just such a down beat depressing experience, which is what a War Film should be about. Glad you liked this one mate, because its a film thats very important in my opinion.
Das Experiment is one very good film and I also like his hollywood movies. Very talented director I've been wanting to check out this movie for a long time it's just looks so depressing! I'm glad you like it! I like my human humanize too this childlish vision that hollywood shows of the world is quite annoying sometimes.
@BambuProductions Yes i am so sick of Hollywood. Foreign Cinema is leading the way right now, which is why i love it! This is definitely an incredible film. If you liked Das Experiment and you are a fan of Oliver, then this one is a must, because its his best film. Very depressing, very powerful and very well made. Thanks for the comment my friend :) have a great day!
I would rather go for the Norwegian subs rather than English... lol ;)
Der Untergang is indeed on my list of films to watch. Heard so many good things about it. We kept the original title here, even though Norwegian and German isn't at all the same language. ;)
@ANDREWBALLINA Thanks mate, i am glad you enjoy watching my reviews and i appreciate the nice words :) If you keep on watching, i'll keep on reviewing :) This film can be summed up in one word. BRILLIANT!
@SpannersGerm669 .. Your welcome. Are you into mainstream horror? Like Halloween, Friday the 13th etc? I don't own many foreign film's, but I love them and plan to get some more. Have you seen Pan's Labyrinth, The Orphanage, The White Ribbon and Battle Royale?
@ANDREWBALLINA I do watch some mainstream horror from time to time. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Pan's Labyrinth and The Orphanage. I own both of them. I havent seen The White Ribbon, but have heard good things and i have only seen a bit of Battle Royale.
