Downfall, like any other modern WWII movie, is laced with anti-Nazi propaganda, such as depicting Hitler as a delusional tyrant at the end of the war, or making the nazis out to be heartless evolutionists who didnt care about morality or their own folk.

However, i will say that the movie does do a good job of illustrating the hopelessness of the situation inside the Fuhrerbunker in the final days of the war. Hitler having to put his dog down before taking his own life, Goebbels and his wife having to poison their children...

Watching it, I couldn't help but think about what must have went through Hitler's mind during those final hours, as he contemplated not only his suicide, but the suicides of all those he loved. The ultimate trial of faith.

Imagine experiencing the kingdom of heaven on earth for one sweet, brief decade, only to have it come crashing down on your head like a hellstorm. Hitler held out to the last second, praying Yahweh would work a miracle, but it never came. I understand that it was not time, that only Christ can crush the head of the serpent, but i cant help but relate Downfall to our own lives in the here and now.

Like Hitler, many of us are waiting on Yahweh to act as the walls are closing in around us. Or maybe im just waxing sentimental as i enjoy a good beer while watching it..

If anyone hasn't seen the film, id recommended it...
