                        Yes crack. Another fantasy assassination scheme that never quite happened.

Dick, you really should do yourself a favor and do some research.  I know, looking things up tax your little mind but you can't increase your knowledge if you don't work out your brain.  All you have to do is look up German Chief of Staff Ludwig August Theodor Beck and read his history which details the operation to over throw Hitler.  You can dismiss it because it doesn't jive with what you believe but you can't dismiss the facts, though you will try your hardest to, ignorant people like you always do.

Though it does make one wonder if the operation to over throw Hitler would have succeeded if Chamberlain didn't lick Hitler's boots and cave in on Czechslovakia.  At the time in 1938, Hitler's power base and popularity wasn't completely assured, until after Czechslovakia, which caused his popularity amongst the German population to sky rocket and sadly spelled the doom for his planned over throw.  Amazing how a slight turn of event can have such a dramatic ripple effect.

So this is a nice discussion and all, but did anyone actually go see the movie?  And if so, how was it?

LOL i was thinking the same.
Reading the discussion, i think its all about Tom Cruise as an Actor and not much about Stauffenberg.
Looks like not many knew him before or know anything about him. Maybe its time to watch the Movie
and learn something. Just a hint. they are allready some movies made about Stauffenberg.

Everyone knows German officers in movies have British accents.




wrongway

Thats funny!!!!

Hmmm, speaking of actors using a German
accent when playing the part of a german officer..

Check out Marlon Brando in the movie,
"The Young Lions".. He did the accent very
convincingly, especially since he played along
side Maximillion Schell for most of the movie...
Tough act to follow...

Then again, Brando is Known for acting excellence...
He didn't need CG graphics to cover a weak performance..

And then we have the munchkin Tom Cruise..
Who became a star, by dancing in his tighty whities...

Its easy to be a star these days, people don't expect
very much... It must be a "generational thing"..

Personally, I think Heidi did that scene better.

you know, when in Germany the private TV stations came up (1984 +/-), first thing they did, was to show american TV produtions, which the German puplic television did not show. So my gerneration got in contact with "Knight Rider", "A-Team", "Airwolf", "Baywatch"...and yes with good old David H. I loved "Knight Rider", ´cause my parents watched "Denver clan" and "Dallas". Nobody told us that David should not be loved 

back to topic: well, I do not know, if I will watch the movie Valkyrie. But as far as I read and heard about it, its not that good.

Merry Christmas!

Tom Cruise doesn't even have a slight German accent in the movie......lol         Then again we are talking about a guy that prays to a mediocre science fiction writer and was never a good actor from the beginning.
