No, he's just found out that no reinforcements can relieve the besieged city of Berlin--a last attempt by one of his generals has failed to affect the Russian advance. He is in Berlin, in his bunker, below the Reich's Chancellery. The movie--"Downfall" in English, is a grim hyper-real recounting of his last days. Not exactly a date movie. Well, I guess it depends on who you date...
Great performance by Bruno Ganz, but I wasn't keen on feeing even one iota of sympathy or anything for those fuckers. Go Zhukov!
Oh, and that was hilarious!
