Der Untergang

Amango (like netflix) finally sent us Der Untergang (which I ordered, among other things, because of [livejournal.com profile] selenak's review), and for several weeks hubby and I didn't muster the courage to actually watch it. Today we did, and now I feel utterly numb. Just when you think the insanity has reached the absolute zenith, you're proven wrong. The way the Nazis faced the end was so utterly bizarre... I was reminded of the Masks of the Red Death, only this was far far worse, and far more insane. What could possibly inspire this lunatic kind of faith? Words fail me.
The movie should be compulsory viewing.
How am I supposed to go to sleep now?

Sorry to have robbed you of your sleep, but yes to all your comments.

The fate of the children... Corinna Harfouch was chillingly good as Magda Goebbels. *shudders* As a mother I can only shake my head.
No need to apologize, I'm glad I saw it.
