Right when the movie starts November 1942 is the beginning of the end of Hitler's regime. At that same time the 6th army was starting to freeze in Stalingrad when the winter kicked in and by late December they had no chance of breaking out. Hitler also refused to allow them to break out and promoted Paulus the commander to field marshal. Paulus was not promoted for his command of the 6th army but because no German field marshal in history has ever surrendered. It was pressure to have Paulus kill himself or fight to the end but he did not expect Paulus to surrender. This movie is very important for understanding evil. During World War 1 the Kaiser did not want to abdicate but did and in the end Germany surrendered when the Allies broke through their lines in November of 1918. Kaiser Wilhelm was not a good man but he wasn't evil. He did not want to see his country completely obliterated. Germany was punished severely after World War 1 but if they kept fighting it would have been worse. Their whole country would have been destroyed. After the Kaiser saw Hitler's reign he said for the first time in his life he was ashamed to be German. He didn't live to see Germany's destruction. Hitler refused to ever retreat even it was tactically advantageous. In his eyes even one step back from the battle was considered cowardice. He would sacrifice every last German for his own ego. The scene with him discussing the Nero decree with Speer was very accurate. This was a decree to destroy all German infrastructure including hospitals, farms, factories. Speer was horrified and told Hitler Germany needed them after the war. Hitler told him that the true Germans have died and all that remain are weak and should be destroyed. This is what Hitler thought of Germany in his last days. He never took responsibility and never admitted he was wrong. To him the German people failed him not the other way around. Hitler was one of the most evil men in history but also the biggest narcissist in human history. Not even Stalin was as narcissistic as him. Stalin made a giant mistake purging many good Soviet generals in the 1930s. During World War 2 he largely backed off and let his generals plan where Hitler acted like a military genius and would force his generals to make stupid moves. Speer disobeyed the order and told Hitler himself as in the movie. Hitler for some reason did not have him killed. This was the only reason Speer was spared from the death penalty at Nuremberg. He was one of the few top nazis that was not executed. However even though he wasn't evil he wasn't a good man either. Speer knew about concentration camp prisoners being forced to build projects he was working on. Speer used slave labor. The Himmler scenes are also very historically accurate. Himmler attempted to contact the Allies accepting the war was lost weeks before Hitler did. It shows you how narcissistic and delusional Himmler was that he somehow thought that Eisenhower would negotiate with him. This man was the architect of the Holocaust and killed millions of people. You have to be a really delusional man to think the Allies would negotiate with you. He killed himself after he realized the Allies wouldn't negotiate with him. Lastly that scene at 59:18 is very historically accurate. Hitler was obsessed with Frederick the Great which he considered one of Germany's greatest heroes. Frederick the Great fought a war against Russia and Austria during the Seven Years War and it was a disaster. Russia was invading Prussia and about to take Berlin. At the last moment Elizabeth the Tsar of Russia died and her nephew Peter III took power. He wished to end the war with Prussia and did not invade Berlin saving Frederick. Hitler so delusional thought this history was repeating after FDR died and thought for some reason Truman would negotiate with him. This movie is a perfect example of what happens when you don't surrender when you have lost a war. Your entire country is destroyed but Hitler would rather see Germany burned to the ground and every German dead then accept defeat.

Bruno Ganz should’ve won an Oscar and every accolade in the world for his portrayal of Hitler. You almost forget you’re watching a movie at times. One of the best performances in any movie ever.

沒有正確的社會人人關係意識與正常的宗教信仰造成的社會悲劇。

 

in English: 影片講述了希特勒人生中最後的12天，其中包括蘇聯紅軍攻克柏林，希特勒同新婚妻子愛娃·布勞恩自殺於地下掩體的情景。 1.該片在德國甫一公映便引發爭論。在媒體熱炒的影響之下，短短一個月內有300萬人被勸進了電影院。當月，《漢堡周刊》為這部影片做了17頁的專題報道；德國曆史學家第45屆大會上甚至同意專為該片舉行一天辯論；德國前總理科爾也斬釘截鐵地說，這部電影拍得很值，希望有更多的人能看到。 2.“元首的憤怒”：指本片中希特勒聽到史坦納將軍沒有發動進攻時，憤怒地咆哮，這一段常被網友借用，借“元首之口”，配上字幕進行惡搞。 3.特勞德·瓊格逃離地堡後，並不是簡簡單單穿過蘇軍隊伍，然後騎上自行車逃到安全地點。真實情況是，她被強j了數次，並被作為特殊高級納粹官員關押。https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2XyOEmepcg

The film depicts the last 12 days of Hitler's life, including the Soviet Red Army's capture of Berlin and the scene of Hitler and his newlywed wife Eva Braun committing suicide in an underground bunker.

1. The film sparked controversy in Germany immediately upon its release. Fueled by media hype, within just one month, 3 million people were persuaded to go to the theaters. In that month, "Hamburg Weekly" dedicated 17 pages to this film; even at the 45th conference of German historians, there was agreement to hold a day-long debate specifically about the film; former German Chancellor Kohl also unequivocally stated that the film was well made and hoped that more people would see it.

2. "The Führer's Anger": This refers to a scene in the film where Hitler angrily roars upon hearing that General Steiner did not launch an attack. This particular segment is often used by netizens, who manipulate it with subtitles, mimicking "the Führer's voice" for humorous purposes.

3. Traudl Junge's escape from the bunker wasn't as simple as depicted in the film, where she is shown to merely pass through the Soviet lines and ride a bicycle to safety. In reality, she was subjected to assault multiple times and was detained as a special high-ranking Nazi official.

辛苦了，為你點讚！但是結尾一句提到了守住規矩，想問，何謂規矩？誰定的？為何世人絕大部分都守不住，但仍然要守？

解說基本正確，但有好幾處錯誤，比如少年彼德參加的是民間人民衝鋒隊，不是黨衛隊，又，戈培爾當時是宣傳部長，不是首相，希特勒遺囑，自己死後任命戈培爾為總理。

這部電影顯示出一個人的邪惡不是在於他的野心，而是他為了「自己」的私心/計劃什麼的 根本不在乎人民的生命，視人命如草芥——是沒錯，人民選擇他作為領導者，但那是因為相信他會成功，而失敗發生時，明明有機會讓無辜的老弱婦孺撤退保命，卻用感人的智障邏輯讓人民做無謂的犧牲去陪葬？最可怕的是到最後，甚至到今天，都還有人相信並認同希特勒.....看完這部電影，我原本不明白為什麼那麼多人支持明顯有精神疾病的川普，但我現在恍然大悟了——所謂歷史一再重蹈覆轍原來是真的，人性當中那種莫名喪失理智的瘋狂偶像崇拜從來就沒有改變過，而且可怕的是往往也是這樣瘋狂的支持者堅稱自己是最清醒而且無比正確，任何人都撼動不了他們的「政治意識型態」，就像那個女秘書，一定要直到別人告訴她六百多萬猶太人被殘殺她才真正「清醒」過來...但想想有多少人根本沒有像她一樣的「機會」清醒過來，

納粹殺人無數 但不以殘忍而聞名，這一點比日本人好多了。日本人的別稱"東洋大盜"不是叫假的，日本人的兇殘不隻二戰的南京大屠殺還有太平洋戰場活生生的將歐美戰俘的下體割下再砍頭 然後將其下體放進頭的嘴裡，早在18-19世紀時 日本的殘忍已經聞名世界 甲午戰爭後的入侵朝鮮及台灣牡丹社事件和旅順大屠殺-英國人詹姆斯·艾倫（James Allan）在他的著作《在龍旗下——中日戰爭目擊記》中寫道：我第一次親眼看見日本兵追逐逃難的百姓，用刺刀對付所有的人，對跌倒的人更是兇狠地亂刺，在街道上行走，腳下到處踩著死屍。

天已經黑了，屠殺還在繼續進行著，絲亳沒有停息的跡象。呼喊聲、尖厲的叫聲和呻吟的聲音，到處迴蕩。街道上呈現出一幅可怕的景象：地上浸透了血水，遍地躺臥著肢體殘缺的屍體，有些小胡同簡直被死屍堵住了，死者大都是城裡人。我站在一處高地，離我不遠處有一個池塘，池塘邊站著好多日本兵，拚命將一群難民往池塘趕，不一會池塘裡便塞滿了人。隻見難民在水裡亂成一片。池塘裡斷頭的，斬腰的，穿胸的，破腹的，攪成一團，水變成通紅一片。

日本兵在一旁歡笑狂喊，快活得不得了。池塘裡少數活人，在死屍上爬來爬去，滿身血汙。其中一個女人，抱著一個小孩子，浮出水麵，朝日本兵發出淒婉的哀求。岸邊的日本兵竟拿刺刀來捅，當胸捅了個對穿。第二下又捅那個孩子，隻見刺刀一捅，小孩子被捅到刺刀上，他高高的挑起槍來，搖了幾搖，當作玩耍的東西，剛掙紮了一下，日本兵就將這個小孩子斬成幾段，那女人伏在地下，尚未捅死，用奄奄一息的力氣，想要起來看看那個孩子，見日本兵脫光她的衣服，將乳房割下，並食其乳房，此時那女人仍然活著，日本兵隨後合力將女人腰斬。

1942可不是二戰的末期。彼時軸心國正處於全盛期。 二戰轉折於1943年。
而是早就被自己的「偶像」活活「害死」了還自認為很「光榮」很「應該」......這就是政治最可悲最可怕之處......

最誅心的就是元首說，人民選擇了這條路，就得承受選擇帶來的結果。君王死社稷是本分，無論是世襲的還是人民選的，窮途末路兵敗身死，不能要求一個民族陪葬。

並不覺得結尾所說的正確，對個人而言不論是忠君愛國還是堅守信念都沒有錯，希特勒誓言死在柏林，也不能說是什麽惡行，問題在於納粹德國的方向性有問題，還有納粹德國終究還是戰敗了。 曆史由勝利者書寫不是簡簡單單一句話就可以表達的，勝利者決定了失敗者的一切，甚至價值觀，納粹德國人愛德國唉領袖，不行！美國人愛美國，行！不要忘了希特勒的種族清洗計劃本質上是翻版的美國清洗印第安人。 所以曆史沒有對錯，曆史更多的是勝負，看個16分鍾電影簡介就跳出來借題發揮的可以省一省，誰在上升誰在下降很明顯，不如學習下意大利人，至少能得個戰勝國的頭銜。

剛好這幾天看到推特上有人在尋找文革的答案：是M一個人的錯誤，還是整個民族共同製造的人間慘劇？影片最後的那段評論，感覺也很適合解說文革。

文革是說不清的。本來是為了打倒少數上層人物，後來怎麽就變成全國的，老百姓之間的鬥爭？誰挑動的群眾鬥群眾？當年毛的地位可是如日中天，還需要發動文革來打倒幾個人？

 寅  沒接受過教育的人是很容易被煽動的，不會威脅到獨裁者的地位，還能成為劊子手，那些知識分子才會威脅到獨裁者的地位，不然怎麽每次都是農民殺知識分子，因為這類人有思考能力，會反抗，不好控製，底層人民吃不飽穿不暖，所以隻有一個思維就是要吃飽穿好，不會去思考更深沉的東西，信息封閉，沒有思考能力，好控製，洗腦就會非常容易
