Downfall

Wonderful, bleak, poignant film about the fall of Berlin and Hitler's death in the Bunker. I try and only watch one really withering film every three years. This gets me off the hook until either 2008, or when Miss Congeniality 3 comes out.

Not only does it manage to make Hitler understandable (without making him symapthetic), but it also inject him and Eva with character traits oddly like those of the President and Stockard Channing in the West Wing. Well, for about the first five scenes.

PS: Top news for gays: Only one sexy Nazi. And he doesn't do anything evil onscreen. Phew.
