Downfall

[摘要] Ian Balmforth's review1 captured the mood of Downfall/Der Untergang neatly, especially the coarsening of the German language used by the self-appointed cultured master race, and the banality of the cake-gobbling human wreck whose greatest regret was that he had been too conciliatory, compromising and kind. Safe in our democracy and living through less interesting times, we can see this film as a warning from history. I find working with a few individuals or enmeshed families seemingly trapped in a self-destructive fate hard enough, and facing it on a societal scale is barely thinkable.
