Valkyrie: Tom Cruise Das German

Posted in Movies on Sunday, May 24th, 2009

I’m not sure if I’m getting soft in my age or if all these movies I’ve been watching lately are actually good, but I sure have been loving all these Hollywood flicks. Even through numerous pee breaks (dad’s issues with age), snack breaks, phone calls, etc. I still was pulled into the suspenseful roller coaster of Valkyrie. Even though we all knew how it would end, I still clenched, cried and managed to get past Tom Cruise as the one-eyed-one-handed-German-treasonist.
I didn’t think I would like this movie either (I’m such a pessimist when it comes to Hollywood, and for good reason), but for what they did in the first minute of the movie, changing text and talking from German to English, I was sold and bought right into the Nazi rule in WWII.
