DVD Reviews of The BunkerDVD Review: incredible performance by hopkins Summary: 4 StarsAnthony hopkins pulls out all the stops in this performance as the evil genius Adolph HItler in his last squalid days in the smelly bunker in berlin. The only movie that has done this better is 'downfall' but this one is almost as good due to the tight performances from the entire cast and it is an excellent interpetation of the terrible true story. Even if you have seen 'downfall' this movie is well worth seeing and thinking over. Hitler was a human man driven by many factors and he was not insane but he was merciless and evil. He was also power mad and in this movie we see the shell of a man near the end of his life as his cruel dreams of empire are finally destroyed. This is a great movie and is well worth owning. It deserves a blu ray release just as 'downfall' does as well.
DVD Review: Pretty Credible Job: Hopkins is Hitler Summary: 4 StarsHistory's arch-demon is shown decliniing into suicide with a retinue of true believers that are still left in an underground bunker/pre-crypt. Hopkins always does good work, and has such amzing range. From my admittedly limited personal knowledge of the subject, it seemed to realistically capture yet another instance of the Beast going down and returning to dust. His Soul? Gehenna is my best guess. Hitler, his blushing bride, and the entire Goebbels family all stay to perish with their demi-god and they give their tragically trappped children cyanide, like most of the other poor souls caught in Hitler's personal psychotic flame-out. It's not terribly intense or rippping at all, just a whimpering end to history's most exptreme abuse of political power, and our closest call to being ruled by the devil. Only passing references to the Holocaust.
DVD Review: Life in The Bunker Summary: 5 StarsBefore Downfall, there was The Bunker. Nearly the entire movie is watching and listening to Hitler speak about the events at the end of the war. He goes from joy to dispair to suicide in only a few days. It is interesting to see a historical figure in such a situation, with many of his actual words being quoted. We know much about what Hitler did and said near the end because so many of those who were with him were extensively interviewed by Allied intelligence. Not an action adventure, not even much of a war movie, but an excellent portrayl of the events leading up to the end of the war in Europe.
DVD Review: You feel like you were there Summary: 4 StarsThe Bunker is one of those movies it seems everyone would find fascinating. Anthony Hopkins, as always, is excellent. I can find nothing to criticize about the movie, because the settings and characters seem authentic, the script intelligent and realistic, the (true) story fascinating, and no noticeable flaws distracting the viewer from the plot. I think the actress who played Eva Braun was considerably prettier than the real person, otherwise, could find nothing that did not ring true. Watch Adolph unravel along with the 1000-year Reich. See Speer sag as he tries to thwart Hitler's most deadly plans. It is a great movie.
DVD Review: Hitler portrayed as pathetic Summary: 4 StarsThis film was powerful in depicting the final days of Hitler. Eva Braun was not what I had an envisioned. She was classy and appeared to love Hitler very much. She came to the bunker for the purpose of dying with him as did the family of one of his top aides. That was hard to watch. As usual Anthony Hopkins gave a great performance, and appeared to have studied films of Hitler to portray his body language, etc. At times when he was in a rage, it was hard to understand what he was saying. The problem I had with the film was that Hitler was portrayed as a pathetic figure who had not accomplished his goal of destroying the Jews and world domination. One finds oneself almost pitying him and forgetting the monster that he was. The film was well worth watching, and gave some interesting insight into Hitler's last days, and the manner of his death.
Description of The BunkerAnthony Hopkins gives an Emmy Award-winning performance as Adolf Hitler over the 105 days of his decline. With the Third Reich crumbling around him, Hitler rages as he faces the final hours before a choice must be made between suicide and surrender.
