Despair of the Führer, Twilight of the Empire

The despair of the head of state, the twilight of the empire, the wives and concubines, marshals, and politicians who follow the head of state, everyone has a different fate, the same despair, when the head of state committed suicide, everyone's belief collapsed, some followed and died, and some fled to survive. The whole movie is full of deep depression and despair, but this is what Hitler deserves. How many countries have been invaded and how many innocent Jews have been killed... The acting skills of the leading actors are too good, Hitler's suspicious, dogmatic, angry and desperate and unwilling to fail , as if this is Hitler himself... The movie is great, as real as a documentary, it truly records the psychological state of Hitler and everyone around him when Germany defeated the Soviet Union and counterattacked to Berlin. War is terrible, whether it is for the just or the unjust, it is terrible. 2005 Oscar nominee for Best Foreign Language Film.
