I just watched the trailer. Wow, looks good. I'm probably going to pick it up from the local vid shop.

Watched it a couple of weeks ago. Very good movie. They really tried to make it as realistic as possible. Great acting by all.

I specifcally liked the hot secretary..

She's gorgeous innocent looking, and damn hot in SS gear..

I saw it aswell and watched it a second time the next day.

I'm obsessed in her beauty..

Anyone know if she's single? I can learn german if need be..

Yes VERY good movie. No punches pulled, showed a very good example of pure insanity.

One of the top 5 movies i've seen ever - even despite subtitles. Had a German friend of mine who lives south of berlin about 2 hours who went to see it with me: she walked out of it and didn't speak for an hour.

Bruno Gantz deserves an Academy for his portrayal of Hitler. He did an AMAZING job imho.

I watched it a second time the next day too Hawk... in fact I burned a copy as well.

I really liked the fact that they showed scenes from the streets of Berlin, it made the thing so darn real.

Anyway...I'm glad it won an Academy for best foreign film...it was definately worthy.

Did you watch it the second time so you could watch Bruno Gantz facial expressions, good god he does deserve an award.

Just wish I could of seen more russian soldiers, I liked how they had 100's of them just following one another towards the SS.

Spoiler: Hitler dies!

I thought it was excellent, but it's one of those movies you watch once and then loan to all your friends and don't watch again for 5 years. It's emotionally draining, the desperation and delusion. Not to mention that just about everybody is killed. Never thought I could feel pity for a bunch of Nazis and least of all Hitler, but this movie does a good job of making you feel sorry for them as a human and then turning 180 and renewing your hate for the system they had invented and the actions that they had perpetrated.

Only pity I felt was for the children....

Emotinally draining?

Not in the slightest for me...

Does that mean I'm messedup?
