Very best movie i ever watch

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Having seen Downfall, the later film, first, this looks like a re-make of it in many respects. But there are key differences, this takes a moral view on Hitler, whereas Downfall is more matter of fact, this film is almost exclusively in the Bunker, whereas Downfall shows a bit more of what is happening outside, and some of the details they focus on are different - perhaps reflecting the 30 years additional research since this film was made. If you liked Downfall, you'll find this interesting, but there isn't that much new or different here.

Even before Oliver Hirschbiegel's 'Der Untergang' (2004) became in most people's minds the definitive big screen treatment of the last days of Hitler, this 1973 version was already overshadowed by G.W.Pabst's 'Der Letzte Akt' (1955) with Albin Skoda as Hitler. That said, it's still a reasonably accurate breeze through the known facts of Hitler's final days enlivened throughout by the succession of familiar British faces ranging from Diane Cilento's strapping aviatrix Hanna Reitsch (who in reality was a tiny, elfin little woman) to Andrew Sachs as the notary summoned to the bunker to officiate at Hitler's wedding; all to the accompaniment of an incongruously jolly Viennese score by Mischa Spoliansky.Sir Alec, bless him, is marginally less unbelievable casting as Hitler than Liberace or Jerry Lewis might have been. The Führer's legendary, carpet-chewing tantrums, for example, are wholly beyond him. Like all fictional depictions of the final days in the bunker this film fails utterly to accurately depict the doped-up, trembling, rheumy-eyed physical wreck that Hitler by then was (the famous moustache, for example, had gone completely grey); but Guinness's frequent ramblings convey extremely well the opinionated, self-absorbed bore described, for example, by Alfred Speer in 'Inside the Third Reich'.Occasionally the film can't resist putting words into the Führer's mouth (Guinness actually uses the word "exterminate" with reference to the Jews, when in reality Hitler just left such tedious details entirely to subordinates like Himmler who actually did his dirty work and were painstakingly careful to avoid explicitly stating such things); and the final scene between Hitler and Eva Braun is particularly unbelievable. But its still worth a look.

In June 2012, "Hitler: The Last Ten Days" was released on DVD in Brazil and I have just watched it. I found it boring and weird, with Adolf Hitler and his high command speaking British English. Alec Guinness is kind of histrionic and seems to be in a theater in London instead of in a German bunker. Eva Braun, performed by Doris Kunstmann, looks like a dull soap opera actress. Maybe the greatest problem is that I have seen this dated movie after watching the magnificent "Der Untergang". My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Hitler - Os Últimos 10 Dias" ("Hitler: The Last Ten Days")

Many inaccuracies. First, Hitler and his bunker crew were German and spoke German. The actors in this film were British and Italian speaking English. The layout of the bunker is way off; it was more cramped. The entire final scene where Eva Braun and Hitler kill themselves is complete and reckless conjecture. How does anyone know what transpired between them in their final moments? Much of this film seemed to about giving a history lesson, what with some characters unnaturally giving historical background while engaged in conversations with one another. It was also awkward to have Hitler discussing the map situation, then the camera cut to a map with subtitles giving the date and how far from Berlin the Russians were — obviously not what Hitler was looking at on the table before him. The film makes Hitler out to be a bad guy, which is as it should be, but make him out to be a bad guy accurately!
