Der Untergang (2004)

One of the most questionable moments of the European history is described in this movie, the last days of Hitler and his empire. The story as it was recorded by the eyes of one of his secretaries. This is what led to me watch it. The spectator gets some information concerning the character of the "Führer", his arrogance  for example, due to the incredibly good performance of the main actor, Bruno Ganz. The conditions and the situation in Berlin in that last days are depicted by the nice direction of Oliver Hirschbiegel. No surprises, no real significant information, just some scarce "big words" from the most famous maniac of the modern German history. In fact, I didn't learn anything new by Frau Traudl Junge. It's neither the movie that you get too bored nor the one that you can't sleep afterwards.
