Valkyrie

"Operation Valkyrie" is a truly historical film, one in which almost one hundred percent of the story is retold. Not interested? It's really interesting, I'll tell you. And the thing is, with what trepidation and diligence the creators approached the production of the film. Everything strictly corresponds to historical reality. And we don't need any finds from the director and screenwriter. Don't invent heroes who didn't exist, don't attribute things to people that they didn't do.

The plot is based entirely on the story of the assassination attempt on Hitler on July 20, 1944 (the last and most famous). At the same time, it cannot be said that the plot is boring and monotonous. The question is that the filmed story is interesting in itself. And the fact that the film captures from the first minute and holds the screen until the credits is the merit of the director. It should be noted that the film is superbly directed. Historical figures are written in the script at the highest level, and the actors who performed them gave their best. And this applies to all actors without exception. Even the episodic characters look incredibly authentic. The director and the actors perfectly managed to convey the characters and relationships of all the characters.

Von Staufenberg is, in my opinion, one of Tom Cruise's best roles in his entire film career.

At the same time, when watching a movie, you need to be aware that this is not a war film, but a historical drama.
