RE: Film Review: Downfall (Der Untergang, 2004)
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
In the end, Downfall is a film that has become as much a part of popular culture as it is a historical document. It is a film that has been both celebrated and mocked, a product of its time and its place in the digital age. It is a film that has etched itself into the collective memory of the 21st century, a reminder that history is not just a record of the past, but a reflection of the present. And in that reflection, we see the enduring power of Downfall as a film that defied history’s grasp.
Dear @drax !
Do you think the people of today can choose a new Hitler?

It really depends on the proper definition of "Hitler". If you use that word in a manner political hyper-partisans are using it today, you might find that this thing has already happened many times in past 80 years. If you use it in the way serious historians do - as representative of very specific ideology and mindset - the answer is more likely to be "no".
