* Some portrayals of [[Adolf Hitler]] forget that he was still a ''man,'' not some kind of ultimate incarnation of evil. |

** In fact, Bruno Ganz got a lot of negative press for "humanizing" Hitler with his portrayal in ''[[Downfall (Film)|Downfall]]'' (this wouldn't of course count those that made the "Hitler Reacts" videos). |
