�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.

It would be interesting to see. Is it due to be released anywhere in the states? I mean Hitler was a Monster there's absolutly no doubting that, but still He's Fascinating from a Psychological standpoint... Look a him, he was almost a complete opposite from what he Racially trying to create..
Possibly one of the most repressed, self-loathing individuals in current history.
