Review of Valkyrie (2008) by Keithj — 24 Jan 2009
This movie is great if you're a history buff. Probably a little dull if you aren't. As for those complaining that it doesn't show the concentration camps, or make Hitler look evil enough .
.. a) we already know Hitler is evil, the movie's plot wouldn't make sense without that assumpion, the movie is about German officers trying to blow Hitler up in order to save Germany and Europe from ruinous war.
b) not every movie about Germany during WWII needs to focus on concentration camps, just like not every movie about America prior to the Civil War needs to focus on slavery. Giving a movie a different focus has nothing to do with denial or downplaying.
This movie simply has a different focus.
