The True Story Behind Valkyrie- a Spill.com Exclusive! - The Spill.com Movie Community

A tremendous movie... . but in case you don't know the Characters... . you need to have some War 2 Nazi History - to understand the main characters, like

Karl Adolf Eichmann
sometimes referred to as "the architect of the Holocaust", ... . He was convicted and hanged in 1962.

Adolf Eichmann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hermann Wilhelm Göring

Among many offices, he was Hitler's designated successor and commander of the Luftwaffe (German Air Force). He was sentenced to death by hanging, but committed suicide the night before he was due to be hanged.

Paul Joseph Goebbels

Way to much to cover - propoganda minister - In his final hours, in Hitler's private Bunker he allowed his wife, Magda, to kill their six young children. Shortly after, Goebbels and his wife both committed suicide.

Heinrich Luitpold Himmler

Sorry, just can't see tom cruise as a nazi.

Not crazy at all about Tom Cruise but I think the story line will be great hopefully close to history. I guess he was Maverick so that counts for a little something.

I just watched it on The History Channel last night. 2 hours of the real story, and no Tom Cruise.

2 reasons I wont bother: 1. I hate Tom Cruise, and 2, I know the ending.

Second THAT!!! Saw it a couple of days ago in a Stadium Seat theater. Definitely need to see it somewhere with a Big Screen and pro sound system.

*shaking head slowly*



1. This isn't typical Tom Cruise stuff. We're not talking about typical chest beating Top Gun Tom Cruise. It's a serious historical work.



2. It's not about the ENDING. It's about the story. It's about the suspense. It's about fear and courage. It's a valuable lesson for the younger generation on doing the right thing despite the possible consequences. It's about being willing to risk your life to save your country from an evil regime.



I am a history buff. Read it all the time. Didn't cause me to lose interest in watching historical drama productions because I knew the ending. Reading "Hunt for Red October" didn't make me want to avoid seeing the movie.

That's the whole point: HE didn't play a Nazi. He played a German noble (Graf=Count) who was a Wehrmacht Colonel (Regular Army, not SS) and a devout Roman Catholic who believed in a "Sacred Germany" that didn't correspond to Nazi ideology. Graf v Stauffenberg saw Nazism as antithetical to pretty much all the believed in, and he was an ardent German nationalist.

I know what you're saying about better sound systems. Saw Saving Pvt Ryan in three different theaters, and 3 totally different qualities soundwise. Barring that, 65" still isn't a "Big Screen. " I think the screen I saw it on was about 20 feet wide, maybe 30 or 40. Didn't measure it.

Wow

I think I know what you're trying to say BUT not wanting to watch a movie because you know the ending surely makes your movie watching pretty slim. . I mean I've watched some movies many many times - and no the ending didn't change. You get more out of a movie every time you watch it... ...

I watched Saving Private Ryan 8 times in 3 theaters. That's the ONLY movie I've ever seen more than once in a theater. I don't go to the movies all that often. The last time I saw it was at the Devon Theater in Attica, IN. It's an old pre-Motion Picture Theater that was renovated and reopened in the mid 1990s. They had a brand new Bose Professional Surround Sound system, and I could pick out things they were saying in it that I couldn't in the other two, plus I'd seen it so many times that I knew pretty well what I already could hear.
