These allegations are not without basis. Bruno Ganz is not the toga-clad, Wagner-spouting F??hrer of Hans Jurgen Syberberg’s 1977 epic. He is not always clearly monstrous. Shortly before her death, Eichinger’s Eva Braun speaks with Traudl of the difference between Hitler when he’s husband and employer and Hitler “when he’s the F??hrer.” Which is to make the dangerous suggestion that there is a human Hitler after...
Although he is to sputter with psycho-delusional rage against foreigners, Jews, bankers, and his top-ranking officers as the hopelessness of his situation becomes increasingly clear, the F??hrer first appears on screen kindly introducing himself to prospective secretaries, coddling Blondi, his German shepherd, and consoling a nervous Traudl over her typing errors...
...F??hrer is even creepier when he succumbs to whispery-voiced, almost catatonic self-pity as he tries to relate to courtiers. Half of them are (as he is) contemplating suicide, while the rest are plotting desperate escapes. There has been some criticism of director Oliver Hirschbiegel's Oscar-nominated film for humanizing Hitler and his gang, but that's nonsense. Because, of course, they were human. The world has since known dictators just as insane. And we can be sure their acolytes exhibited the same range of ugly behavior (denial, cynicism, narcissism) shown in this film. The inclusion...
...perfectly mustachioed F??hrer awaits in Berlin—where, though he is significantly less plausible than Bruno Ganz in the Academy Award-nominated Downfall (or even the toga-clad Heinz Schubert in the 1978 film Our Hitler), he delivers a spluttering invective against the “low races,” and proceeds to bestow upon Bose a toy model of the boat that will carry the latter around Africa “like Vasco da Gama”—and furnish ample opportunity, in turn, to bond with the spice-starved German crew over...
