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 HopkinsI 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.D
