Review of Hitler

Hitler (1962)
An awful film ...

Warning: Spoilers
This film is an extremely poor saga of Hitler. If it was portrayed as a fictionalization of him then I would provide a higher rating albeit marginally so. Hitler is much more complex character than the film, and possibly any film, can provide. It's embarrassing to actually watch this awful film given the historical inaccuracies. I understand the need to take liberties for sake of piecing a film together and making the characters more believable. However, those who have studied the lives of Hitler and his closest political/economic/social/military advisers, find this film completely avoidable.

The film "Downfall" (2004) is much more historically accurate and captures the essential core of Hitler as the man he was. I highly recommend Downfall knowing it only shows the last few days of Hitler and his Third Reich.
