And Speaking of Fascism . . .

Linda and I just finished watching Downfall on DVD. I believe it was the first post-war German film about Hitler, and it was very good. Bruno Ganz was excellent as Adolf Hilter. One scene reminded both Linda and me of Karl Rove and how he does things. I used to have a problem comprehending how a country like Nazi Germany could come into existence in the first place, but my last five years as an American citizen have given me a better understanding of the process involved, and watching Downfall added somewhat to that understanding. It is definitely worth checking out.
