DOWNFALL (dir. Oliver Hirschbiegel, 2004):
So long. And honestly, unimpressive. It was well put together and all. Bruno Ganz's Hitler was all I found interesting, and once he was dead I had nothing to look forward to. Yet the film kept going. and going. and going. It followed everyone who the camera was paying attention to when you weren't focusing on Hitler. And it was boring. Apparently I was supposed to identify with Hitler's secretary. But I didn't, at all. Just...disappointing. If I ever get the guts to give it another look, I'll be sure to elaborate. But I want to keep it short, just like Downfall should have.
Final Grade: C-
