What is that movie actually about?

Rating: 3/10 (12 January 2009)

I understand, a lot of work has been done on the details, the setting, costumes and props of that movie. Now, attention to all this fine detail is fine and recommendable, but not at the expense of the story.
The actual Stauffenberg (and in fact all of the resistance) is not shown here. There is just no representation of the development of the actual resistance in Germany of that time. If you wanted to treat that accurately, you'd have to look at the broader developments from even before the coup that brought Hitler to power. You'd look at the conspirators of (and at) Kreisau, the White Rose's operations in Germany and parts of the complicated Prussian military.
Presenting the case of Stauffenberg without that context - even with all the attention to detail in the setting - is but shallow and misleading. Is it maybe the very idea of entertainment (and the funny infotainment) that gets in the way of actually dealing with serious questions?!
