A masterpiece that does not reveal its edge

After watching "Hitler's circle of evil" on Netflix, I finished "The Destruction of the Empire". The film more meticulously restores the internal relations of the power core within Hitler's bunker: including Goebbels, Himmler, Speer, Braun and others.

My favorite after watching the film turned out to be Speer. As the chief engineer, Speer portrayed in the film is a gentle and gentle image, with a gentle and gentle tone from beginning to end. Do tell. In his final scene with Hitler, his reaction is also difficult to connect with his real historical image.

Goebbels and his wife are the most portrayed of many henchmen. Goebbels persisted in all Hitler's orders, and Goebbels' wife poisoned all her own children by thinking that her children could not live in a world without Nazism.

In the final stages of Nazism, the exercise of power was hideous. The performance that the actor gave Hitler was also extremely explosive-his hunchback and often manic, all showed the fangs and claws of the empire's operation. And the performance of his lover, Eva, is another manifestation, either profoundly denying his doom or creating a temporary ecstasy for himself. It is a pity that this film is overly entertaining, and the research and expressiveness of the film are commendable.

    Even demons such as Hitler have returned to the world at the last moments of their demise. Sadly, since the moment the Third Reich collapsed, mankind has begun a new round of confrontation; after World War II, there is no Prussia and Germany without Prussia can only be another power. The gun makes justice? Sorry I can only tell you that history is just a Prostituierte, let the winner go

    Perhaps the only person who is beautified in the whole film is Traudl Junge. The film ignores her family's Nazi background, and finds the best beauty in German film Alexandra Maria Lara to play her when she was young. Full text: http://hou26.org/zeta/women1943.htm#Junge
