I just wanted to watch a war movie, because the "Führer's Wrath" series was chosen because of its admiration. In fact, at the beginning, I could only feel a long depression. For example, Hitler refused to withdraw from Berlin, officers and ladies danced indulgently in the bunker, and their officers found their own way out. But after seeing the stories that I had heard a little about, I joined them one by one. For example, the so-called "People's Resistance Committee" organized by the official organization actually organized the civilians to resist stubbornly, and forced the elderly and children to cover the soldiers. The Goebbels died in the bunker along with several children. The children's singing is as beautiful as the chorus in The Sound of Music. But they eventually became pale and stiff under their mother's hands. If I said that I was holding a curiosity to understand the details of Hitler's final failure, I really felt sick and scared when I saw this scene. Moreover, the film does not shy away from the humanity of Goebbels and Eva. In the end, Eva wanted the heroine to escape from the bunker, and Goebbels was loyal to Hitler to the end. Even if Berlin was about to be broken, most of the officers still had loyalty and trust in Hitler, and from them you could experience the deep delusions of Nazism. It even feels like a hero's end to see them shoot themselves at the end. But thinking about what they've done, I think it's better that they die as soon as possible.

    The loser is the bandit, this history is the most powerful proof.

    The film restores Hitler to an ordinary person, instead of letting the so-called "devil" act as a scapegoat for human conscience.

Downfall quotes

  • Adolf Hitler: The war is lost... But if you think that I'll leave Berlin for that, you are sadly mistaken. I'd prefer to put a bullet in my head.

  • [first lines]

    Traudl Junge: I've got the feeling that I should be angry with this child, this young and oblivious girl. Or that I'm not allowed to forgive her for not seeing the nature of that monster. That she didn't realise what she was doing. And mostly because I've gone so obliviously. Because I wasn't a fanatic Nazi. I could have said in Berlin, "No, I'm not doing that. I don't want to go the Führer's headquarters." But I didn't do that. I was too curious. I didn't realise that fate would lead me somewhere I didn't want to be. But still, I find it hard to forgive myself.
