On Downfall...

Went to see this with Greg, and it has haunted me ever since. I am reminded if it, since it just coming out on dvd.

Outrageously well wrought, with a feverish intensity that I found often painful to view. Life in the bunker was infused with a sort of psychotic sensibility. Hitler seeming kind to his contemporaries, and often charismatic, while displaying signs of falling apart. An excellent effort was made towards making the characters sympathetic and likable.

This film reminded me, how human an invention the concept of evil is. How it can spring from the mind of man, and is often nourished by those who embrace it.

Now, I am fully aware and will happily admit, I am still pondering this months later, is the summer selection of movies, has been sucking in matter with the avidity of a black hole. It is so depressing, going to yahoo movies to check my local theatres, and finding them all vying for the same drech.
