Der untergang/The fall : Controversy movie about the last days of A.Hitler :

�It was probably time to do this film,� Ganz told the �NZZ am Sonntag� newspaper. But he admits that his portrayal of Hitler may be hard for some to accept.

Oliver Hirschbiegel�s drama has possibly broken one of Germany�s last taboos, showing Hitler as something other than just a monster, and prompting criticism that the director has gone too far.

Hirschbiegel says the film was in no way intended to provoke sympathy for Hitler. �The movie set out to put an end to the simplistic way of depicting Hitler up to now. We only saw Hitler as a monster, as a mad psychopath � a cartoon kind of character.�

The film explores the dictator�s last days in his Berlin bunker, as the Soviet army closes in on the German capital, slowly reducing it to rubble.

Possibly one of the most repressed, self-loathing individuals in current history.
