We iz not crazy we is superior! ……Wait we lost?
I have to say that Tom Cruise has done an amazing job Valkyrie. The movie actually encouraged me to read the true history of the German resistance to Hitler. Not sure why the media spoke negatively about Tom Cruise role. Everyone that I know have seen the movie really likes it. If you have not seen Valkyrie please go see it.
I saw it and really liked it too though it wasn’t phenomenal. Media reaction was about average I guess, look on rotten tomatoes. If you take out the people who just hate tom cruise then it gets a decent 70′s score which is about right.
Maybe because he could have at least tried to do an accent, if his ex could do it then anyone can. It’s like watching Tom Hanks play Tom Hanks in the Da Vinci Code, at least try to be who you’re playing cause movie ticket prices are such that I’d rather download…..
i loved valkyrie so this person rox
Very true
for the record: Staufenberg was no Nazi. He tried to kill Hitler.
Stauffenberg still was an officer in the German army…
Which doesn’t equate to being a Nazi…
The aristocratic officer corps of the Germany army was one of the big factors in German resistance to Hitler. It just took a hell of a lot for them to break their habit of obedience.
In fact, and amplifying your point, it was illegal for an officer in the German army to be a member of the Nazi party. You should recognize, though, that there was much more than a “habit” of obedience; there was an oath of obedience, and the German officer corps took that oath very seriously as a matter of personal integrity and high moral obligation. Which was one of many reasons why FDR’s demand for unconditional surrender was foolish and counterproductive: many German officers who may have been willing to undermine Hitler, to cooperate with the Allies, even to work for a surrender of German forces to the WESTERN allies (not the USSR) were put in an impossible position by this demand, because to unconditional surrender would mean to deliver Germany into the hands of enemies who reserved to themselves the power to impose any terms whatsoever, even terms that would destroy the nation, and that seemed to be in clear violation of their oaths. The Morgenthau Plan, for example, truly gave ample justification for these fears.
To amplify what Pheemz said: People today seem to think that “Nazi” means “any German alive between 1936 and 1945″, which is rubbish.
“Nazi” is a contraction of the name of the political party that Adolf Hitler rose to power in. Thus the literal meaning of “a Nazi” is “a member of the German Nationalist-Socialist party”.
Calling all German officers of the period “Nazis” is as incorrect as saying that all US armed forces officers were Republican from 2000 to 2008, just because their C-in-C was a Republican, and that they’ll all suddenly become Democrats after this year’s inauguration.
The SS, on the other hand, was a whole different kettle of fish. The SS was the Nazi party’s own private army, quite independent of the regular Wehrmacht. All SS members had to be Nazi Party members.
Actually the SS (even including the Miltary Wing of the SS – The Waffen SS) were actually under the control of the Reichs Ministry of Police, under the control of the Bavarian Chicken Farmer – Henrich Himmler. Sounds daft but hey, that’s Hitler’s Germany for you.
acutally, the german aristocratic officers helped hitler to get to power. after world war I, they kind of lost their pride and power, so hitler was the way to go. until some of the officers realised that war was fine with them, but killing innocent people wasnt… and that were, for example, stauffenberg and his buddies.
I like Tom Cruise.
He’s sulking. There were no couches on the set.
None of those cool bouncy castles either?
XD Nice one
Perhaps you should see a movie prior to making a poster about it? Never mind, that would make too much sense.
I don’t think it matters when it’s Tom Cruise. He hasn’t earned himself anything other than derision and dismissal later. I pity anyone else who’s hitched their wagon to his nuttiness since he’s become Scientology’s Jesus.
later = lately
me = genius
As American’s we are so anti anything other than Christianity. “In God We Trust” is printed on every dollar. If someone would suggest that it said “In Allah We Trust” that person would be ridiculed. I guess we forgot that America is founded on many different religious beliefs. So if Tom wants to believe in Aliens, then why should we judge him. Christians believe in a Virgin who gave birth? A man that turned water into wine? Jews don’t believe in Jesus. There is Judaism, Buddhism and many more.
Ugh, if it were just about believing in aliens there wouldn’t be a problem. As you point out, most religions seems to have some degree of absurdity going on. It’s more the systematic abuses and crimes of the cult that’s objected to, and anyone willing to make themselves a spokesperson for that… yeah. Not someone I’ll be queuing to see.
Well said. But, then, we seem to be notorious for forgetting the whole “separation of church and state” thing; anyone who was informed of the Proposition 8 campaign in California would probably know, since the vast majority of the people who were for it didn’t want same-sex couples to marry because it was against the Bible.
….coming from the same people who say “Thou shalt not kill” but have ridiculous numbers in the military (a VOLUNTEER organization).
But yeah, I agree; if you sum up each religion’s beliefs, they all sound pretty nuts. Though I think Buddhism isn’t a religion so much as a way of life.
To a degree, I think any religion could be considered a ‘way of life’, though I believe Buddhism is different from other followings, in that it doesn’t have a spiritual figurehead in the same sense as other religions do. (Jesus in Christianity, for example)
You know, I suspect this poster was intended as a humorous comment on Tom Cruise’s belief in Scientology, rather than a serious analysis of Claus von Stauffenberg’s political beliefs….
Nope, its all about Claus
Well, Pheemz, it isn’t humorous because it isn’t correct! So it’s just not funny no matter how you look at it.
No, he wanted to invoke Godwin’s Law from the start.
Wondered how long it would be before I saw that caption.
No just no, that is not right to mock the role that Tom Cruise plays in this movie. That was an important story taht needed to be told
*sigh*
Honestly, who do you really think is the target of the mockery? Claus von Stauffenberg, a German officer who’s been dead for 64 and a bit years, or Tom Cruise, the actor playing the role and a Scientologist?
Anybody want a cool read, try “Diary of a Man In Despair,” by a guy named Reck-Mallzenkof. He was a German aristocrat who was imprisoned and shot. He hated Hitler and what he was doing to the German people and the environment.
I always thought Tom Cruise looked like a crazed mormon.
But after seeing him in this movie… oh god the eyepatch…
Which just proves my theory that anyone, with the addition of some pirate garb, can be a sexy beast.
I guess 25 years of acting and making major Box office movies does not count him as successful. People love to talk negative about Tom Cruise and other actors or even athletes. We call them people who hate to see someone else successful, also known as “haters”. Congratulate people once in a while.
I love Tom Cruise as an actor. But he’s simply not very attractive to me. I hate how people think it’s socially acceptable to talk badly about him because he got a little excited on Oprah or because he’s a scientologist. Sure he’s a bit odd, But when it comes to his movies, he can do no wrong.
so tom cruise is going to plot to kill L. Ron Hubbard–who is already dead?
Someone said the word! Watch out for DWN!
The LOL has nothing to do with the movie. It’s funny because of the cult reference. Scientology = cult — Nazi = cult. Tom Cruize = promotional whore for Scientology and is known as much for jumping up and down on Oprah’s couch as he is for his acting. Imagine for a moment Paul Newman acting like that.
