It was Saturday morning and I had some work in a Bank on the Airport Road. There was very little traffic and Bangalore did not feel like its usual self with vehicles spread all over its face. Then i called up my friend on Airport Road and went to meet him at his place. We talked about a lot of things and then decided to go for a movie. We knew that we would not get Delhi-6 ticket (I checked almost everywhere the same morning) and so we decided to go for Valkyrie. We had 2 hours to spend before the show. So we went to Shoppers Stop and were not in any mood to shop. But then the discounts as well the stock was mouth watering. We could not resist and both of us ended up buying 2 pair of Jeans each. And then it was time to go back in History and enjoy Valkyrie. Well, i would say it was not an entertaining film, but it was a really well made film. If you concentrate on the sets, the cinematography, the background sounds etc. in a movie, then you would definitely like it.
Tom Cruise played his part very well and did seem to overshadow a lot of the other characters. Hitler's role was very limited, which was right from the movie's perspective. But some parts of movie prove just how huge was Hitler's influence. I never liked Hitler but there was something about his leadership that made so many people obey his orders. The movie is about the last of the many unsuccessful assassination attempts on Hitler's life. The movie really takes you into the World War 2 era through its cinematography. Attention has been paid to the details and that is what might have got the movie some nominations. It makes you come back home and find out more about Colonel Stauffenberg, his associates in the plan, the situation at that time, other attempts at Hitler and more about the World War 2. Some things like these attempts are little known in History, but they do form an important part of it and this movie tries to make people more aware about such events. If you have time to pass, you can watch this movie.
