The Last Day of Joseph Goebbels (2009 Video) User Reviews

Great production values and destined to audiences of morbid curiousity.

It's a quite interesting short film, not sure if the story has been told before in another movie but for a low-budget film it contains plenty of qualities. Obviously that following someone's murder or final moments are quite morbid but this particular story about Joseph Goebbels (Al Dineen) and his family final moments after Hitler's suicide in the bunker after losing the war brings some intense and shocking moments. If you know the minister of propaganda/future führer Goebbels story and his death and of his relatives, then you know exactly what you're gonna get and you can be very impressed on how things carried out; for non familiar with the man's story the shock will hit a lot harder due to some brutality. On one hand, I don't see much of a higher purpose or importance in just seeing an act of demise that is known in history. Maybe it's just sheer and morbid curiosity. But on another hand, the film have such interesting production values that it can't be denied the facts about its quality. I was impressed. 7/10.
