narrow minded and leading view of history

Rating: 5/10 (26 April 2009)

"Many saw evil. They dared to stop it" as a tag line to accompany a movie that presumes to be historically correct and surely attempts to portray a historical event, can not be correct. And it isn't.
And it's the same old story of the winner of a war that still is the moral winner too. How can US citizens claim any 'good' with the history it has? With the committed genocide, with political or military involvement in basically any region in the world? With acts of cruelty against even its own citizens? Who are they to judge? Evil? Look at yourself before you judge.
Tom Cruise, who i loved so much in The Last Samurai; my favorite movie showing the relativism of cultures, flops to the total opposite here, taking on this role. And his acting is just so so here. Overall acting; fair.
Stupid suggestive accent of for instance Hitler, who of course needs to look bad, so gets -psychology- a retarded depiction, with accent and Cruise - the good guy- not. It's funny, these psy ops.
Music first half hour... irritating drums, overdone.
It's watchable and i would have given it an 7, but i deduct 2 for historical incorrectness and (mis)leading moral and political stupidity: 5
