Valkyrie



  • Genre: Thriller / Drama
  • Theatrical release: 27 June 2008 (US)
  • Rated: TBA
  • Length: TBA
  • Plot outline:
    Quote:

    Superstar Tom Cruise heads an international cast as Col. Claus von Stauffenberg, the aristocratic German officer who led the heroic attempt to bring down the Nazi regime and end the war by planting a bomb in Hitler's bunker. The "July 20 Plot" on Hitler's life is one of the most heroic but least known episodes of World War Two. Severely wounded in combat, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg returns from Africa to join the German Resistance and help create Operation Valkyrie, the complex plan that will allow a shadow government to replace Hitler's once he is dead. But fate and circumstance conspire to thrust Stauffenberg from one of many in the plot to a double-edged central role. Not only must he lead the coup and seize control of his nation's government… He must kill Hitler himself.

all I had to read was that cruise is in it....like his last few movies, I predict an epic fail...could be wrong tho.

But look at the hype Lions For Lambs (or whatever the hell the title of that pile was called) and how it turned out....

Nazis speaking English? arghhh...


Squirrely: Now come on y'all. We can't waste time arguing. There could still be survivors out there. We need to hunt them down, and kill them.
Beary: How about we kill them, and then rape their bodies so we can use their blood as lubricant.

That guy from the small picture is SS-Gruppenführer Fegelein in Der Untergang. Sad to have him speaking english now as a Nazi in a new movie about Nazi Germany :/

I know im gonna watch it, but the whole speaking english is going to be a block around the leg for me, it just isnt authentic.

No i wouldnt want Tom Cruise to speak german. I would rather watch some german actors, or actor capable of speaking german in roles like this. Sure it might not be the whole hollywood cha-bang, but for me it would be way more authentic.

I bet you guys were among these idiots that complained the elvish languages portrayed in Lord of the Rings (Quenya and Sindarin) were badly spoken, hence not authentic enough... Rolling Eyes This is an American movie done by American actors primarily for American audience.

Hehe well i didnt even know there were more then one elvish language for the book/movie Smile

And sure its an American film primarily for the American audience, which somewhat even makes it more sad that they have to have "dumbed down" in english with their useual actors. Atleast you can hope they may even learn something ??

Whatever doesnt matter, i just expressed what i think would make this movies better. Just imagine Letters from Iwo Jima in english Cool

As usual it sucks when they insist on making non-english people from ww2 talk english instead of their native language.
Even worse is when they just give them an accent...

Imo there are good enough actors in every country in europe to make a proper ww2 movie where everyone speaks their own language. That would have rocked.

Even though im a die hard ww2 fan, I doubt I will like this movie Sad


shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.

Very Happy yeah, sad but true. Especially since literature at its best is the best form of entertainment there is. Guess it'll take Apple creating a device that uploads a novel directly into your brain to make books popular again.

Clint Eastwood designed each of the films for completely different audience (hence Letters being the much better).

You guys should watch

Die Stunde der Offiziere (2003)

ZDF LINK

and

Stauffenberg (2003)

ARD LINK

Both excellent GERMAN! productions about the assassination attempt on Hitler.
Ok they where both TV productions, but really good.
Especially "Die Stunde der Offiziere".

But I think that you will have problems finding subs for them. But if you speak German, see them.

I am sure they are 10 times better then TC's spectacle.

Please what? If all German is converted to English (i.e. everyone speak English instead of German) shouldn't bother anyone. Having everyone speak German but the main cast is awful though.

The "oh please" was for the QUOTE that I made, I just don't get who the fuck you where pointing at with your "elves and lord of the ring" bullshit. Seems you know more about that particular subject than me anyway. Ive got no problem with some fictional characters speaking some made up mumbo-jumbo, but actual German Nazis speaking English is a somewhat annoyance at first for me.

Thats an opinion and now move on.

The movie "Stauffenberg" was really awesome - i've got it on dvd. Hope Cruise makes for a good Stauffenberg as well.
I liked him in Tropic Thunder Very Happy
