Note To Self: Hitler History
In addition to being a random dumping ground, I'm going to try to use this blog as nothing more than a nice place to remind myself to read/watch/whatever stuff that catches my eye. Anyhow...
Caught an article in the New Yorker about a movie called Downfall that got nominated for an academy award. It's about the last days in the bunker for Hitler. They listed a couple of others that sound interesting:
The Last Ten Days (1955)
The Last Ten Days (1973) starring Alec Guiness
The Bunker (1981) starring Anthony Hopkins
I just find it so interesting to watch these portrayals, though the critic apparently didn't like any of them. It's always the inflection points that I find to be the most intriguing. When something is just on its way up... when it's just over the peak ... and when people realize it's over.
