This has been around all day and have just recovered the ability to type. Absolutely fantastic! Not laughed as much in a very long time. "Put it on e-bay"..... I'd have loved to have seen the ad. "Cut out the middle man"....

It's been everywhere already

And it's "translated" for dozens of 'versus' purposes, Xbox vs PlayStation game consoles even.

Wink Thanks for putting it here - might never have seen it otherwise!!
Well I have only just seen it, so I guess I should spend less time on this website!

Haven't laughed so much in a long, long time - nearly fell off the chair.

Did anyone notice that ****wit seemed to be the translation for Stalin?

Marvelous. I must have a look at some of the other "translations" for the X-box - that's not my thing really. However the whole bike translation seems to work brilliantly - pointing at the map and explaining what happened to the VFR on the ride out makes me wonder what was going on with the x-box.....

It was a good film that one too. We just don't get enough foreign language films in the UK.

Just watched it again: quite right about the translation, but what language is Herr Hitler speaking in anyway?


This has to be one of those films that has a new angle each time it is seen.
Proper tractor: that has to be a HD?!!


Now off to watch it again.

Not at all Mark: It's just that I understood hardly a single word ( Mein Furher ) - I thought I would recognise a few numbers for instance (the way you do when ordering a few s).
As it was "Downfall" (which I have never heard of) I guess I was not meant to understand!!

It's more than a good film, Tim. It is a brilliant one. Bruno Ganz, in particular, excels as Adolf Hitler with amazing attention to his mannerisms and accent.

The film also broke a taboo in Germany in that it portrays Hitler as 'human' with depth of character rather than a 'monster'.

You can see a trailer for it here to whet your appetite:
