@@zxbs_e no offense to the acting of sir Anthony Hopkins but i think he was not a good fit for playing adolf Hitler, the downfall actor nailed the role as adolf Hitler
@@muhammedubai6280 agreed I expected more from Hopkins. He’s a genius actor but this isn’t his finest moment. Bruno Ganz performance has put all the others to shame. After Ganz I also enjoyed Robert Carlyres portrayal of hitler in that 90s made for TV movie. But Bruno Ganz’s performance is by far the best
I know WE ALL CAN AGREE that Bruno Ganz made the BEST Adolf Hitler come to life bc he spoke REAL GERMAN but Anthony Hopkins wasn’t BAD in this film version. And Robert CarLyle was representing a younger Adolf Hitler in the 2003 around the time production for “Downfall” was probably being prepped
"I want nothing left to the enemy." It's strange that Hitler thought the enemy was going to take Germany like spoils of conquest. Granted, it was reasonable to expect Stalin to do that. But that didn't happen. The US spent billions on Europe to help them rebuild.
The Russians did take Germany. That's what East Germany was. They also looted tons of art and gold. It was a running inside joke between Zhukov and the rest of his military staff about how much German Artworks they looted.
If you read Hitler's transcripts (Hitler and His Generals book), his assumption was that the Germans would be destroyed, and Germany would no longer exist
cedil, thnaks from Lima Perú. For me, Anthony Hopkins portrays one of the best Hitlers of the history of movies & TV movies. Have you seen the BBC Tolstoy's "War and Peace" 1974, I think? Ther, Hopkins portrays Pierre Bezoukhoff role. Thanks again.
@@charlesvan13 It absolutely was in the overseas territories until it became unviable. I never said they invented it. The English are barely capable of inventing anything.
Well, Russian film director Alexander Sokurov made an art-house film about Hitler. All the Russian actors were dubbed by German actors, with Russian voice-over.
I don't care about people bitching about Anthony Hopkins as Hitler, or the fact that the movie is not in German, all I want to know is is the movie historically accurate?
I thought it was a very well done movie. I like the job that Anthony Hopkins did .I don,t care that the cast is speaking English(I don,t have much patience for subtitles anyway).
I agree that Downfall is much much better overall. It's still marvellous to see Anthony Hopkins playing that role back in 1981. The only thing that bothers me in Downfall is that the accounts of Hanna Reitch were not included in Downfall, but she and Greim had a more sombre perspective of reality entering the bunker and seeing how detached the individuals there were from reality, then what is made out in the film Downfall, where she is presented like a Führer cheerleader.
@JimmySmers Then read the memoirs comparatively, weather they were Nazi loyalists or not. Especially suggest the memoirs of one Albert Speer (very self serving and selective compilation). It is a pity that Speer's "viewpoint" seemed to get quite a weight in the movie Downfall. And just to add to that comparison, then the technical history book "The Rocket and the Reich: Peenemünde and the Coming of the Ballistic Missile Era" by Neufeld is a sobering read and therefor a must.
Speaking german after seeing downfall with actual german(well, swiss in the case of Bruno Ganz) actors you cannot help but cringe at all these movies with american actors ...
I find it interesting to see movies/videos like these which makes it seem like the Reich is still around in some form. As if it survived and exists today. Isn't there a movie or book about that?
Apart from that DOWNFALL did not touch on Hitler's hatred of the Jews. Bruno Ganz however looked every bit like Adolf Hitler and the other actors who played his inner circle, Goering, Goebbles, Himmler, and Keitel looked every bit like the real thing.
Oh yes, Indian Hitler (Eva, Magda, Goebbels, Speer etc.)... I watched it as an epic comedy. Still dissapointed that they weren't singing and dancing in the bunker, except Eva.
Jimmy, Downfall was great, yah they didn't spend much time on Communist crimes, but if you're waiting for the film industry to ever do that, you'll be waiting a long, long time.
Writing in 2023 and the war in Ukraine and proxy war with Russia we might see some change after all the Nazis have become tiresome we've heard it all before over and over again
Do they really think the german army was capable of destroying the places they left? They were already busy enough to hold stand... They might have destroyed some things but I think The anglo-american bombardements did 99% of that.
While that is interesting, it doesn't fit my theory, so I'm just going to ignore it and go with something like the Tower of Babel to support my claims! Internet science for the win!

@mccarrpo They do address his shaking hand in a later scene. Just FYI.
wtf he got an oscar for this? I found this out after Downfall and had to see.
Very good movie. Good acting. Good sets, direction.
Today's the 40th anniversary of the film.
Never seen this movie, but Downfall is much better
but how you know if you havent see it??lol
He’s right. Downfall shits on this.
Downfall is a masterpiece but for a TV movie this is pretty good.
Not many would agree with that.
I am sorry but I feel that this movie lacked the power and depth compared to "downfall" that movie was a true gem of German film productions.
Buy the DVD now.....
I remember this exact scene from Downfall!
I remember when this was broadcast. I totally forgot that Anthony Hopkins played Adolf Hitler.
I don't know how I missed it back in the day. I thought it was pretty good. I enjoyed it.
Evil never ceases , even to the destruction of ones self.
what is better this or der untergang (downfall)
What a strange mixture of British and American actors the Nazis were. You don't read about this in the history books.
Thousands dying while Hitler dreams of phantom armies and hopeless attacks. Madness, sheer madness. Great acting though, top notch.
Being Swiss helps the role. Speaking German helps - Hitler with a British accent is weird.
"...can I offer you some fava beans and a nice Chianti?..."

The British did the most to end slavery.
One of the few countries to spend money to stop the international slave trade.
They also implemented many types of slavery and the slave trade in the first place.
@@zephyr8072
Slavery was the norm. It wasn't invented by the English.
It wasn't "implemented"; It was the lowest caste in every society.
@@charlesvan13 It absolutely was in the overseas territories until it became unviable.
I never said they invented it. The English are barely capable of inventing anything.
@patlaborcrewman normal, they are german actors playing german roles .
What led you to believe that I wasn't making a light hearted joke, but some manner of serious statement?
Richard Jordan looks like Albert Speer and more than Heino Ferch.
Well, Russian film director Alexander Sokurov made an art-house film about Hitler. All the Russian actors were dubbed by German actors, with Russian voice-over.
Amazing how many Wehrmacht officers had studied acting at Cambridge.

Yeah, Brit's (who stood alone in 1940 and survived a German onslaught) will never been as impressive! Ah hem...

It's funny that Hitler had offered coffee to Speer in that circumstance... If you are surrounded with the Russkies

is that anthony hopkins as hitler??

The BEST portrayal of hitler I have seen is in the soviet movie Liberation and he speaks german, not actually Downfall.
