![]() ![]() This is where this movie falls a little short, because it shows Stauffenberg and others simply talking freely about their plans and their convictions. And you could never be sure who you could trust or who might be a spy or simply rat you out for personal gain. Organizing a conspiracy meant risking not only your life, but the life of everyone even remotely associated with you. ![]() So much as cracking a joke about the Fuehrer was reason enough to be imprisoned, investigated and executed. Once Hitler was able to turn Germany into a dictatorship, it was extremely difficult to form any resistance. Though this made his party the leading one, he could only gain power because the politicians of the other parties thought they could control him. ![]() As a matter of fact, he only received 36,8 % of the votes in the election. ![]() But Americans, who in general don't really have much understanding of history, fail to realize that Hitler wasn't voted into power by the people. Personally I think he was after all not a bad choice for this part and all in all I am very happy that there is an American movie that shows the different side of Germany and Germans in the Third Reich (there was a time when in every Hollywood Movie the villain were always Germans). I was curious about this movie since it had caused so much controversy with Tom Cruise in the main role. ![]()
