    I'm not sure what the name of the movie is, but it's from a very well recieved flick about *surprise* Hitler and the fall of the Third Reich. But there's been an internet meme going around for a while where people post random rants in the subtitles. If you search "Hitler rant" in YouTube you'll find a bunch of them...

    It's a German movie called "Der Untergang" or "Downfall" in English.

    It's a German film called "Downfall" (English translation of the title). It's about the last week or so of Hitler's life, after the German forces had pretty much folded up. Hitler was convinced up until the last day or so that the German's HAD to win because his ideology was perfect! Anyway, the guy who plays Hitler, Bruno Ganz, is pretty amazing. Good rental if subtitles don't scare you.

    The best musical moment and perfomance imho.
    Everyone coming together at the end to sing We are the World and Heal the world was awesome but Mayer Kilt it with his rendition of human nature.

    I thought it was too.
    I also liked Ushers a lot.
    The other ones we good but John Mayer playing Human Nature gave me chills.

    i thought the same thing. sometimes an humble opinion should go unchallenged.

    it's not simply an opinion.. it's over the top.. and far from "humble".. in what was practically a saturation of moments.. and performances.. I couldn't possibly narrow it down to single "great" one.. least of all attempt to do so by selecting the most modest of them all.. it was good.. but to go as far as to say it "killed".. in other words defined the evening.. hardly..

    But you didn't go as far as to say that, someone else did.
    It's their opinion, not yours.

    What was the moment that did it for you, Hmm?

    Mine was the Jennifer Hudson performance.

    i answered the query.. that I couldn't provide one lone moment as the best.. several moments "did it" for me.. from Lionel Richie's performance.. the execution of "Will You Be there" with Jennifer Hudson.. Usher's moving "Gone too soon" while stepping down directly to the casket... Stevie Wonder's "Never dreamed you'd leave in summer" with the inclusion of Michael's name into the lyrics.. to say nothing of all the speeches.. it was all just extremely heartfelt.. and wonderfully done, said, and aptly performed..
