Downfall

The other day I was bored enough to watch the movie Downfall. The movie was about the final days of Adolf Hitler and those that were around him before his death. The story is mainly focused on Hitler's secretary, and what she saw during the time in Adolf Hitler's bunker. I found the story interesting. I actually liked the movie and it made me feel pity for Hitler in his final days when he knew he was going to lose. I am saying I pity him, not supporting him; just making that clear. In the movie, the saddest scene to me was when this woman decided to kill her children when she realized Hitler was going to lose, she didn't want them living in a world without national socialism, or Nazism. She gave all her children medicine that would make them fall asleep, once they were asleep she put cyanide capsules into their mouth and closed their mouths causing it to break and kill them. I thought it was very sad, I wouldn't be able to kill my own kids... But eventually she and her husband killed herself as well. I believe the woman who killed her children was Eva Braun's sister, thus making her Hitler's sister in law. At the end of the movie, it switches to a present day interview with Hitler's secretary claiming she knew nothing about the concentration camps, and if she did she wouldn't have been his secretary.. I recommend this movie to those who like watching historical drama themed movies.
