The Hitler portrayed in the film was not a despicable clown or a vicious careerist. Hitler in this film is a man of flesh and blood: he likes to eat chocolate cake, he likes to whisper with dogs, he can cry, he can kiss his lover, and he is gentle and refined to ladies. He is not a devil, but a man. Through the memory of characters and historical materials, the film will show the love of art, vegetarianism, and national fighting hero Hitler more profoundly. At the same time, it also shows the sentient beings and things of the last 12 days of the Empire. For the injured country, for the Jews, Hitler is a sinner who does all kinds of evil; for the non-Nazis in Germany, he is an incompetent leader, willing to sacrifice his own citizens for his unrealistic illusions; For Nazism, he was a trusted leader for followers who were bewitched by his language. "Even if the curtain ends, stand in the center of the stage." Like other delusional conquerors, he was desperate and unwilling to fail, and went to death in a mood intertwined with dignity and inferiority. Despair is the main theme of this film. The army was smashed into despair, the children were sent to the battlefield, the generals committed suicide one after another, the desperate people indulged in singing, and Mrs. Goebbels killed six children herself so that the children would not grow up in an environment without National Socialism. In the end, the empire truly perished.
