My Favorite Movie

     Valkyrie starring Tom Cruise, portrays the events that unfolded behind the scenes in World War II. A group of like-minded individuals decided that the führer Hitler needed to be eliminated. In order for this to be accomplished, a man whom goes by the name of Claus von Stauffenburg is set to lead this group. In order for him to push out Hitler of his rule, he needed to kill him. Ultimately it doesn’t go so well, and he is found out by Hitler’s high ranking officers and Claus along with all the men involved were sentenced to an unfortunate ending.
     Tom Cruise, being a well known actor, has done many well known movies. Ranging from Risky Business and the Mission Impossible series. Over the course of his career he has won a whopping total of 30 various awards and received 80 nominations.
     In choosing this movie, I feel that it has a historical aspect to it that many others like it tend to overlook. It was no just the Allies that despised Hitler, but his own men as well. If one is looking for historical accuracy in coexistence with a spy-like movie then this might be the one for you. The emotion shown throughout the movie by all characters seems fairly authentic and a very well thought out plot was laid out from the very beginning. The execution of the entire movie was precise and depicted a very intriguing tale.
