I am starting to dislike war movies. There has been too many realistic war movies lately and most of them show the same "look at how much suffering war causes" view. Someone should add something to the genre.
Der Untergang excels at doing that. It is good to see different points of view of WW II and this movie presents the theme very objectively. Many previous movies have presented the suffering of the Jews and of the American soldiers but this movie presents the life of German civilians and soldiers in the last days of the war. It shows really well the thoughts of the German nation when they decided to follow Hitler.
Also, I asked wikipedia for some information about Hitler and I am impressed by how well it illustrates his madness.
