Now now, this is a movie to watch ! A week of rest really gives you a lot of free time. So I decided to watch this movie, since it was just lying in my collection for a long time but I never got down to watching it.
It is one good flick. Tom Cruise does a good job. One might not believe that he can actually act in such a movie, but he shines bright. His portrayal of Colonel Stauffenberg is perfect. And of course, he looks as handsome as ever, even with a few missing fingers, a partial hand and just one eye.
The film is based on a true story. A plot to kill Hitler. Better known as the July 20 plot. Oh, I was wishing throughout that it would actually happen ! But that son of a gun survived, obviously, how else would he have committed suicide 9 months later!!!
I wish I had brushed up on my German. I would have understood some of the dialogues better. Sadly there were no subtitles, so about 5% went above my head.
A great movie ! Makes you want to read more about the WWII and Hitler. Makes you want to visit Berlin ! Makes you wish you were alive in the 1940s ! I think I really do like historical films.
