The Bunker (1981 film)

The Bunker is a 1981 CBS television film, TimeLife production based on the book The Bunker by James P. ODonnell.

The actors interpretations of the events differ in ways from the traditional accounts. For example, during the final meeting between Hitler and Albert Speer, Hopkins adopts a sarcastic tone and gestures including mock applause that suggest that Hitler was already aware of Speers betrayal, even though he uses the exact words recounted by the witnesses.citation needed This became a fairly controversial scene due to a perception in some circles that the resemblance to Jesus Christs legendary foreseeing of Judass betrayal was intentional. These accusations were consistently deniedby whom? , as were reports regarding a rumoured onset romance between Piper Laurie Magda Goebbels and Cliff Gorman Joseph Goebbels.Also, the film constantly shifts the pointofview character. This includes characters who are not known to have left their experiences on record. For example, Dr. Werner Haase is used in this manner, even though he was never interviewed having died in late 1950. Likewise, two scenes are written from the viewpoint of Hitlers cook, Constanze Manziarly, and in one scene, Manziarly actually has a flashback, remembering happier days. However, Manziarly disappeared while escaping from the bunker, so neither ODonnell nor any other person was able to interview her or get her viewpoint. ........
