Amazing Movie,,,there's no way around it

Rating: 10/10 (11 August 2009)

I enjoy War-type movies because they usually are based on true wars or stories and I am definitely into action. This movie was absolutely amazing, the only thing I might have changed was have all their accents the same - However,I like how it started out with Tom Cruise(Colonel Claus Von Stauffenberg) speaking German and then it shifting into English (like the Red October).
It was amazing how this movie got to not only me, but the people in the theater as well. You know from the start that they would die, since unfortunately no assassination attempts against Hitler prevailed, but it just gets to you every time when they are executed as "traitors" to Germany. It is astonishing how much courage these men had to stand up to Hitler and the Nazis, knowing death was basically it if they failed. And yet, when they were taken to be killed they all died honorably. When Haeften turned his back to the squad as an act of defiance and to show his respect for Stauffenberg, the audience in the theater I was in reacted emotionally. When you see a movie, you need something that will impact the audience and Valkyrie did. But when Colonel Stauffenberg cried "Long live Sacred Germany" before he was shot, I liked how his words got to the firing squad. His last act of defiance was telling them that it was not Hitler's Germany.
