Oct 2, 2023 · The biggest strength of Downfall is Bruno Ganz’s portrayal of Adolf Hitler. In the film, he looks like an exact replica of Hitler. Ganz prepared for this role for over four months watching thoroughly the Hitler and Mannerheim recording.
I expected a stereotypical portrayal of Hitler, yelling and being loud and complaining about inferior races. But that wasn't what I saw at all, at least for most of the film. I saw Hitler as a human being, full of emotion and actually caring for others (those who were on his side, of course).
Jun 1, 2020 · The 2004 film Der Untergang (Downfall) represents a departure from the cinematic norms of both the allied nations and Germany. Downfall portrays Hitler as neither a monster, nor a clown, nor an authoritarian ruler who is often doubted by those below him. Downfall shows Hitler as a human being.
One of the most notable aspects of Downfall is its portrayal of the characters surrounding Hitler, from loyal followers like Joseph Goebbels to disillusioned figures like Hermann Fegelein.
