F...ing thick wooden leg table! (Screen)

The 3 days History student is very pleased by this movie and remembers why I have chosen this education at first before taking a Law course:
History makes me become one with the world: my little life becomes nothing in comparison of the thousands, and help me delete my false conceptions for the truth.
I heard about this attack in my class book and without any more data, I imagined that Stauffenberg was an individual but courageous lunatic. I never guessed that the coup was much bigger and there were so much involved in top levels. It's dramatic to see how those men evolved from shyness to dedication to kill the Furher at any cost, because with the end coming, they must have to try anything to avoid their heroism to remain unknown for ever.
Maybe because Third Reich means pure evil, his seduction is heavy and Singer helps it: sets, wardrobe are beautiful all the more this movie was actually shot in Germany. The only flaw is the Fuhrer portraying which lacks of charisma! I have seen Z-movies about WWII with more daunting Fuhrer.
I would finish by wondering why we have to wait so long for such a story? Why my french cinema which considers itself for the best of the world, didn't adapt it so far? And I stick with my "Iwo Jima" feeling, that if American movies show that their past adversaries have dignity, I am still waiting for a American war movie saying that they have behave shamefully!
