Downfall re-enacted

Fabulous: Brandon Hardesty re-enacts the whole infamous bunker scene from the movie Downfall (which has become a major internet meme, as reported before here and here), and yes it is hilarious.

I don't get this: so the movie company of Downfall is now ordering DMCA takedowns of all videos that contain footage from the movie from Youtube and other video sites. Why on Earth should they fight a meme that has brought their film so much attention, especially internationally? Of course, we didn't have to wait long for the answer, i. e. a Downfall in which Hitler himself orders the takedown.

The Downfall meme

Bernd Eichinger, German director and producer of the movie Downfall, has commented on the prevalence of the Downfall internet meme, where geeks around the world take the famous "rant" scene from the movie and put subtitles on it, using any topic from Michael Jackson's death to the financial crisis. Eichinger notes that he finds these mashups hilarious and that he is happy the film and the scene in particular is firing people's imaginations.
