Making a movie about Adolf Hitler is not a riskless task. No historic figure triggers as much emotion as the 20th-century dictator. Downfall, the story of Hitler's final days alive in a Berlin bunker, attempts to humanize Hitler in two separate ways. For the audience, Downfall humanizes Hitler on a personal level by showing his capacity for politeness. And for the characters surrounding the dictator, his god-like image crumbles, and their leader becomes just another delusional, bitter politician. In this analysis, I explore Hitler's final story and how it shows us the danger of believing in people who believe in nothing but themselves. Thanks for watching my video!
