Downfall (2004)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

About – Spoilers:
The final days of Hitler in his Berlin bunker. This is a German take on the events, a couple of decades after the American 1981 movie, Bunker.

As Germany faces defeat with the Russians closing in, some Nazis start planning for the future while other stay, unwavered by the futility of it all.

Bruno Ganz as Hitler is the standout here. You know you’re in for a great performance early on, when you see Hitler polite and respectful to the women queueing up for a secretarial job with an eye for exactly who he wants and bored by the others, and then shortly after, exploding with passion and rage when with his officers. And the performance only gets better as Hitler constantly swings between despondency and delusional optimism as he feels betrayed by the Nazis he considers close to him.

Random:
Downfall is the source of the Hitler meme videos that were once popular, a decade and a half back.

Non vado matta per i film a tema guerra ma questo assieme a Full Metal Jacket fanno eccezione. L’interpretazione di Bruno Ganz é stratosferica.

This movie is an excellent portrayal of the sort of embarrassing madness that comes when you disavow the dignity of your fellow humans and seek absolute power. Hitler lacked courage, mental fortitude, and was completely and pathetically unmoored from reality. His descent into cruelty and insanity stained an entire country.

Notice the similarity to modern-day America. Just like Hitler in this movie, America’s current leadership doesn’t concern itself with truth or facts. Trump is sucking the blood from America and its people, shitting in our wounds, and telling us every step of the way he’s helping us. Thank God he’ll be senile or dead soon.

Americans – let this movie be a dark warning to you. Our country is entering a period of intense hardship entirely ushered in by Trump. He doesn’t care about you and he doesn’t care about me. Just like Hitler, he only cares about his own glorification.

Brilliant film. Superb production. Probably about as close as you can get to what happened in the final days, even though told through a German perspective. This is a 5 star film.

After the Russians took over Germany, they beat, raped and murdered as many German civilians as they could get their hands on. Then the Americans came in and did the same, then the British, then the French and so on. German military personal were rounded up by the Russians and sent first by railway and then marched through the snow for miles in sub zero temperatures while on starvation diets to Russian gulags. German concentration camps were like holiday retreats compared to the Russian gulags. The Russians were mighty pissed off at the Germans after the war and they treated them accordingly. Torture, daily beatings, standing outside in 30 degrees below zero temperatures while Russians dump buckets of ice water over Germans until they die, etc. were common practice. A good film about the treatment of German prisoners in Russian gulags is “As Far as My Feet Will Carry Me” (2001). It will almost make you feel sorry for the Nazis.

If Nancy Pelosi’s slimy and demonic rat fuck nephew Gavin Newsom becomes president of the USA in 2028 it is more than likely that history will repeat itself and the final days of a Newsom presidency will be very similar to what happens in “Downfall.”

i believe the problem with misogyny in the gaming space is generalization. think about it like this; if a man acts like a kike while streaming he becomes an independent laughing stock, a lolcow. while if a woman acts like that than its not just her, its ALL women. retarded men are basically given celebrity status. so whats the solution? easy. turn men into a sustainable food source. that way they make a positive impact on the environment. anyway any of you guys played any good games lately? i’ve been playing new vegas and am very much enjoying it

There is a theory that Hitler got syphilis from a Jewish whore and his health deteriated including the most noxious flatulence. You have to wonder how that affected the people around him in the last days. Bunckers were hardly welll ventilated.

Hitler escaped to Argentina, probably the only country sympathetic to Germany’s downfall that wasn’t destroyed in the war. There’s old photos of him at dinner parties in the mountains without his mustache. Plus multiple eye witness testimonies from locals as heard in the documentary Grey Wolf here on EUM. Hitler died in Argentina from natural causes not too long after JFK was murdered. They buried him under a tree on a hill over looking the river, with pinecones all around… probably. I dunno. Fuck do you care

I’m glad this one is on here. Its very interesting and quite touching the see the war from the perspective of the top brass of the Third Reich in their final days along with a few select soldiers and in particular the secretary Junge. Bruno Ganz gave an incredible performance in the movie as well. No other Hitlers came close, in my opinion. Its sad but also quite funny because those parody videos is actually what got me to watch this movie.
