Valkyrie

Watched Valkyrie with Qy and Ys in the evening today. The synopsis and review are as follows.

Based on a true story, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg is a loyal officer who serves his country all the while hoping that someone will find a way to stop Hitler before Europe and Germany are destroyed. Realizing that time is running out, he decides that he must take action himself and joins the German resistance. Armed with a cunning strategy to use Hitler's own emergency plan - known as Operation Valkyrie - these men plot to assassinate the dictator and overthrow his Nazi government from the inside.

Valkyrie tells the story of an assassination attempt that is compelling and nailbiting from the 2nd hour. The 1st hour comprises of discussions of the details of the assassination as well as the preferred method to take over the country. The story works due to the historical accuracies and the cast does a relatively good job as the colonels and generals who were willing to sacrifice their lives for justice to be done.

Valkyrie celebrates the valiant effort of a group of distinguished and honourable colonels and generals who tried to save their country from all the mindless killings and occupation. The movie is a respectful attempt to glorify the brave men that had the guts to go against Hitler.
