Best Scene From Valkyrie

A very well shot scene from the 2008 film Valkyrie. The camera placement and editing is very well done. Bryan Singer's directing skills are awesome. This is the best film on the July 20 plot to assassinate Hitler and the portrayal of Stauffenberg by Tom Cruise was a great performance.

Scene-ruining flaw #2: Hitler cites Goering's assurance that the invasion situation is well under control. But by 1944 Goering was discredited and humiliated; defeated over Britain, failed to supply Stalingrad, and failed to stop the crushing Allied bombing of German cities. In 1944 Hitler would never have cited Goering as a credibility-boosting endorser of anything. Besides, Goering wasn't in charge of defending against the Allied invasion: Rommel & Rundstedt were.

"When the music stops, I'd be obliged if Keitel found himself without a chair." Love that line.

Don't worry, steiner attack will make everything under control

The way this scene was shot is brilliant. The light makes everyone appear mildly corpse like, particularly Cruise. It's as though Stauffenberg was dead as soon as Hitler signed the amended copy of Valkyrie.

If anyone of you doubts Tom Cruise's skills as an actor, watch this movie and Collateral! He was beyond perfection there!!!

The actor portraying Himmler @3:06 just nails it with that stare.

There was one line in the movie that was funny. The Home Guard was unwittingly being used by the plotters to arrest the SS under the pretense that the SS was fermenting a coup. The head of the guard finally realized it and confronted Himmler who called HItler and let him know Himmler was still loyal.

Afterwards the commander of the Guard ordered his men to stand down and his aid said “What about the coup”? He replied “You idiot we ARE the coup!”

I thought that line was humorous in the middle of a very serious movie.

This movie changed my life. It taught me to be more brave.

1:28 I love how Goering gives this look like "yep, I did say that".

The best depiction of Hitler's inner circle I've seen. They didn't overdo it with the sinisterness, yet I've never seen them made more intimidating. I especially like Goebbels looking pissed off at Goering, that's a nice historical touch. David Bamber also nailed the way Hitler would attempt to charm people, which is something he did a lot but it's rarely shown.

"Choosing who will live, and who will die. Sparing the most heroic from an agonizing death." - Hitler voicing Stauffenberg's thinking

Hitler never wore civilian clothes once the war broke out. He stated as much during his first wartime speech on Sept. 1, 1939. He said he would not take off his military style tunic until the war was won 'or I will not survive the outcome'. Aside from this mistake, this scene is especially good when it shows Goebbels lower his eyes in disappointment and angst when Hitler says Goering has everything 'under control'. By this time, Goebbels despised Goering, his self-indulgence, his neglect of his duties and his overall incompetence and the fact that Hitler still insisted on taking Goering seriously at this late date in the war was something that really riled Goebbels.

What’s interesting is the portrayal of Hitler with a deeper voice. He spoke like this in private and with a higher voice in public, so it’s actually really accurate.

[HAUEhuaheau]

I love when after hearing about Normandy landing, how uncomfortable Goebbels is with the assurances of Goering. Goering was an absolute joke.

Me: I'm not quite understanding what Hitler is muttering as he looks at Operation Valkyrie. I'll turn on English sub-titles.
Hitler: you know your vagina colonel

[legendario]

I was in the same sailing school as the stauffenbergs and shared a optimist with the great-great-son of the officer depicted here by tom cruise. Really nice down to earth family even though they still have some kind of royal status.

“You’ve sacrificed so much for Germany. I wish more of my men could be like you.” Tell that to the men on the Eastern Front.

I really appreciated the historical photo and information at the end of this video.
