(100% Not) Random Movie Mention: “DOWNFALL” (2004)
Previously, I Talked To Y’all About The Flick…
“DAS BOOT“
(http://youjivinmeturkey.com/2012/09/10/totally-not-random-blu-ray-movie-mention-das-boot-1981/)
…And How It’s One Of My All-Time Faves…
…And That It’s My Favorite Foreign Language Flick.
Period.
BUT…
…In Close Company Is…
“DOWNFALL“
…Starring…
BRUNO GANZ
…As…
“ADOLF HITLER”
…Showing Us The Final Days Of “The Third Reich” During World War II.
Honestly, My Peeps…
…This Flick Is A-MAZ-ING.
BRUNO GANZ
…Is Simply Mesmerizing.
He Takes On The Roll Few Folks Would Ever Want To Play…
…And He Plays It To Sick, Twisted Perfection.
Directed By…
OLIVER HIRSCHBIEGEL
…The Film Was Nominated For The ACADEMY AWARD For BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM.
It Really Is That Amazing Of A Flick, My Peeps.
It’s A 155-Minute Glimpse Into Berlin, Germany…
…And The Bunker Complex Of Hitler And His Closest Advisers, Associates, Etc Etc, During Those Final Days.
BRUNO GANZ
…Does Such A Bang-Up Job, We’re Able To See The Madness And The Horror That Was Hitler…
…And Just How Sick And Insane He Was.
I Don’t Know Many People Who Have Seen This Flick…
…But Those Who Have Were Very Much In Agreement That…
“DOWNFALL“
…Is A Flick Everyone Should Watch A Some Point.
It’s A History Lesson…
…And Everyone Should Take Note Of It.
I Actually Found The Flick Pretty Wild AND Disturbing.
In Fact, I Found Myself Uncomfortable In A Few Places.
It Really Is That Powerful Of A Flick.
It’s Not Something You Watch Over And Over Again, That’s Fo SHO.
Watch It.
Understand It.
Enjoy The Film-Makers Boldness In Telling The Story Of One Of The Darkest Chapters In Human History.
Then Decide If You Liked It Or Not.
I Shall Leave It At That, My Peeps…
…But I Sincerely Do Suggest You Check-It-Out If You Ever Get The Chance.
It’s Worth The Time Investment, Fo SHO.
