Downfall Blu Ray Sainsbury's Entertainment £5.00

ScozoScozo

Yes it's that film that spawned a bunch of videos on youtube.

But it's also a really good adaptation of the last days of Hitler.

Cheapest I could find on blu ray anywhere and overall a fiver well spent I believe.

    Fantastic film

    Funny that above.
    Great movie.
    Just read a book which claimed the above Hitler outside the bunker was one of his doubles, as Hitler and Eva had done a bunk by then.

    It's certainly possible I mean how many Nazis did you find being shot out to South America? I mean I certainly know Mengele was found out there.

    Apparently the audio on this blu ray is its downfall. Picture is great compared to the DVD but the audio is terrible in comparison. I am just going by a lot of reviews. But for a £5 I wouldn't be too concerned. Just letting everybody know.

    As the Op said a series of Youtube vids followed this - Great movie and Bruno Ganz should have got an oscar for this.

    This is a very good film, but it seems this Blu-ray edition is very poor, with poor sound and hard-coded subtitles. Read the reviews on Amazon.

    ike half of the top rank nazis were caught there, mainly Argentina. Caught by Mossad obviously.
    Watch 'Munich' and it was practically the same hunt straight after WWII.

    The whole Hitler suicide in Bunker is laughable.
    The "Hitler skull" has now been proved to be a WOMANS
    The Eva Braun's did not have her blood type (not dna either if they'd allowed it)
    All based on Hugh Trevor Roper's bullsh*t. Even the yanks didn't believe it. They let him get away and were left with egg on their faces.
    I have not the slightest doubt Herr Hitler snuffed it in Paraguay or Argentina. South America anyways.
    PhilK
    ....remember Hugh Trevor Roper said the Hitler Diaries were genuine.
    The man's a silver spoon in the mouth laughing stock. A fraud.
    Yet his tripe has been accepted as truth for 60+ years -
    Another thing - why was no-one allowed to talk to Rudolf Hess ?
    Theres very little truth been told about the war.

    and you base this assumptions on.... ?

    One thing's for sure. Hitler is certainly dead by now. Great film - bizarrely someone has just given me it on DVD this week.

    Don't expect blu ray quality, looks like it was done on a super8 camera

    Only film in which the hero dies... (_;)

    Jokes aside, George Bush Jnr's grandpa and many other US corporation funded the war machine in the early days from IBM systems for the coding of concentration camp prisoners to humvees.

    Though the British had their own concentration camps in Kenya and starved 2 million in India around the same time.

    It's true what they say, the victors always write history !. Strange you never hear the Russians complain about the way they were treated by the Germans. Mind you they did rape and murder their way up to Berlin so i guess that was revenge enough for them (in their eyes).

    A great film even for the ' i don't like films with subs' kind of people like myself.

    Is it dubbed?
    Scozo
    Eh the Russians also got to punish the east Germans and certain Slavic nations for fighting them for decades under the Warsaw pact.

    I believe Khrushchev mentioned he wished they'd wiped the Germans out at a meeting in the u.s with a west German rep.

    Loving the idiots who believe Hitler escaped and died in South America without any shred of evidence to back it up.

    Somewhere in Europe, May 1945........

    "Damn, Hitler's escaped"
    "How? He was surrounded. The Ruskies were only streets away"
    "A plane, I think. Flown by some SS guy"
    "So, where is he?"
    "South America, probably"
    "Then let's get after him. Won't be too hard to find. Short, bad-tempered little weasel with slice haircut, toothbrush moustache, one goolie, sleeps till two in the afternoon, vegetarian, and thinks (as a corporal) he knows better than a dozen field marshals & generals. Shouldn't be too hard to find"
    "Nah, let him be. Let's just concentrate on pretending he's dead, so we don't look like fools. That's our priority"
    "But a soothsayer told me, in 1961 the Israelis will hunt down Adolf Eichmann in South America, smuggle him back to Tel Aviv and rightfully execute him for crimes of mass murder. So, you see, it can be done. And Hitler won't be as hard to locate as Eichmann"
    ".........Nahhhh. I'd rather allow one of the most evil people in the history of mankind to get away scott-free, than for we Americans & British to be seen with egg on our faces"
    "But he caused the deaths of over FIFTY MILLION people!"
    "That's as maybe, but President Truman and Prime Minister Churchill have agreed to let Hitler live out his days in peace, while we all pick up the pieces of six years of his killing and butchery"
    ".........Yeah, you're right. What was I thinking? He's dead, alright. Committed suicide in the bunker with the missus. Wink, wink!"

    And there ends today's history lesson, kiddies. And don't let anyone tell you different!!!
