Re: Der Untergang

A few minutes ago I finished watching the second half of the movie and I must admit that I am still overawed.

This is a great film until the last second.

Apart from a good eye for detail and IMHO authenticity, they seem to have achieved the right mix. You know what will happen, yet somehow every second takes an age and events can still shock you as they finally happen.

Some characters are greater than life, yet never caricatures.

Even the end is perfect.

For those who haven't seen this film, I really recommend it.

IMHO a true classic.
