      The actor playing Hitler has blue eyes, as you can see when he uses a magnifying glass at the start of the film. The real Hitler had brown eyes.

    an artistic look at a horrible reality
    This movie makes Hitler look remorseful but we know he wasn't. It is interesting because of what Hitler was to the 20th century. He and the other dictators of that century showed that Karl Marx, a Jew, was wrong in considering dictatorship of the proletariat as a stepping stone to full communism. Dictators will destroy a world before giving up their power. Using Freud, another famous and genius Jew, as his analyst showed Hitler's deceit in trying to appear innocent. It shows him surrounded by rural children both in actual footage and live in the bunker. Hitler was the first big media politician and you see in this movie how much of a lie politics can be. I enjoyed the artistic feel of this movie. I would give it 3 out of 4 stars.
