video: "Hillary's Downfall"

Many of you have probably seen this already, but I wanted to post it here because I think it's brilliantly funny.

For whatever reason it won't embed, so here's the direct link;

I netflixed the actual movie this came from after seeing this clip and a bevy of other similar clips using the same scene from it.

It's called "Downfall" (Der Untergang)

From a Historical stand point it's fascinating. But from a human stand point it's thoroughly depressing. That might sound odd considering it's about Hitler's final days but watching a bunch of people poison/shoot themselves tends to make everything feel kinda bleak. Still though, they paid close attention to detail and the mounting tension of the looming inevitable made it a good watch.

There are a few people you genuinely have pity for like Goebbels' Kids and Hitler's dog Blondi and a few others.

I did laugh out loud at one moment... Eva Braun was brushing her hair following a tense scene where there was the discussion of suicide. At her dresser was a menacing looking picture of Hitler. It made me laugh because it was there because that was her boyfriend....Hitler... the reality of his iconic evil image being in a place of genuine adoration made me chuckle.

Looks like they pulled all the parody videos per copyright...

still here, I laughed way too loud for an office setting. "I will fuck you in half!"

Though I have yet to see Downfall, I recognized it immediately when the Hillary video began. It just got funnier as I watched it.

I've heard Downfall is a seriously well done and gripping piece of work. It was recommended to me a few years ago. More Bruno Ganz, please. He was so good in Wings Of Desire and his turn as Hitler looks nothing short of brilliant.

Very funny.
Someone also did a similar spoof to this same
movie when the Giants beat the Patriots in
the Superbowl.
I watched this movie over Christmas break -
utterly depressing, disturbing, and somewhat
boring. These clips make it more tolerable.
