    • Trivia
      Geli's lines when she is smoking with the driver, just after being told her uncle is "a good man", ("he's a monster... you can't imagine what he asks of me") are Geli Raubal's actual words, taken directly from her journal. Allegedly, Adolf Hitler drew a series of pornographic sketches of her, titled "Miss Raubal in close-ups and angles to which any professional model would decline posing for."
    • Goofs
      Adolf Hitler did not beat his dog out of frustration at the trenches, the dog was actually a beloved pet who Hitler called a 'Proper circus dog'. Hitler was also a huge supporter of animal rights in Nazi Germany and even tried to make the whole of Germany vegetarian.

    a portrait
    The first surprise was Robert Carlyle in the lead role. his performance. and his science to escape from comfortable cliches. the second - the subject. after remarkable films about Hitler, another one could be only "an another". but the film works. as good introduction to the universe of a significant dictator. as portrait of a time. and as lesson about less recent history but about the essence of humankind. the historical accuracy and the effort of Robert Carlyle to give more a decent performance are the two admirable pillars of the film.
