Re: The Downfall
The nearest cinema to me showing it is in Edinburgh. So no. Although I would like to.

Re: The Downfall
Yeah I have. It's very good although it doesn't really show you didn't already know from the half a million of so documentaries on the subject. But that wasn't it's purpose so I suppose it doesn't matter.
Anyway : I'd recommend it if you're looking for something mildly thoughtful. It's not exactly a barrel of laughs though (who'd have thought the Hun getting a pasting from the Red Army wouldn't be hilarious?)

Re: The Downfall
Is it based on Anthony Beevor's book? I'd be quite interested in seeing it if so, not heard anything about it though :|

Re: The Downfall
I think the two titles are merely coincidental. Although I could be wrong.

Re: The Downfall
It's based on two books according to the end of the movie. One was co-written by one of the characters in the movie (Hitler's secretary), I can't remember the other one.

Re: The Downfall
Yeah, Dante was pretty spot on there. If your on the lookout for good new films, Maria Full Of Grace is your best bet. It has strange parallels with Downfall actually, psychological battles within Adolf in Downfall & Maria herself in MFOG and both show different perspectives of situations and stories* we all know about.
*not the best word to describe either movie really.

Yes, It's a comedy. My favourite bit is when the local MP tries to explain why the flood defences didn't work, then they lynch the fat wanker
