Loved that movie, it's so deep, and gives a better understanding of Hitler's character. Amazing acting by Bruno Ganz, terrific and touching movie, and it actually made me respect the Nazi leaders for the way they believed in their beliefs. I hate their beliefs, but this makes you see that it really was their belief, not just an excuse.
BTW, I recommend watching Valkyrie as well, another great move. Not as good as Downfall, but really interesting story. What interested me in that movie was the (scary) similarities between the Nazi oath to serve Hitler and what the troops and government members here have, the oath for the supreme leader.
