      You can't just be a good person

      2009 old works

      I went to the cinema to watch the movie last night. It has been released for several weeks. I have been waiting for the English version, but there are only translations and productions. Listening to Uncle Tang talking about German is a bit cold...

      To be honest, I didn't watch this movie as a Hollywood drama. I have to say that I may not have a high level of consciousness. I have been thinking about how to evaluate the last of the 15 assassinations of Hitler? But...

      The Assassination of Hitler and the Vampire's Counterattack

      The plot is okay and the production is well done, but it just looks awkward. In fact, every ethnic group has its own unique spiritual temperament. Just like the Japanese devils in Chinese TV dramas can't get the devilish flavor, the Americans can't get the German flavor. Maybe they look similar, but if you put Americans, Germans, British, French, and Italians together, you can definitely tell them apart within five minutes by looking at their words and deeds. It's the same with Chinese,...

      a mess

      The film is limited in time, and the beginning is hurriedly explained, "Audiences, please remember that Stauffenberg is the embodiment of justice, please share his joy and sorrow with him", so don't care why Bill Nighy is so quick to catch up with Tom Kerr Ruth, and worship him as a god; and don't worry about Tom Cruise when he is looking for a comrade, because the gang first shouts a few words, and then obediently goes to prepare for the assassination. One is because this is historical fact,...

      Assassinate Hitler

      On Saturday, I had a fever all day, and suddenly recovered in the afternoon, so I got up and watched this movie with my parents. I still don’t know if my brain is burnt out or if it’s the truth. I keep saying that there are so many loopholes in this plan that there is no even the most basic way out. How do these people get out once they fail, no one seems to have thought about it. There is not even a single step to confirm whether the bomb hit Hitler or not.
      I kept saying it was so stupid....

      Overall okay

      A movie without any suspense can still catch the audience's attention under the background that people on earth know that Hitler committed suicide, and it can be judged as a success. The tension preset by the conspiracy and the compactness of the climax of the action can still make the audience a little nervous in this impossible task.
      As for the actors, Liangtang's performance is quite satisfactory, but a lot of old-fashioned green leaves are very spectacular. Our lovely Bernard Hill was...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The reason why Tom Cruise was attracted to this role was that he saw the photo of Stauffenberg and found that he was very similar to himself in profile.
    Tom Cruise is also the producer of the film while starring in the film.
    Tobias Moretti was originally scheduled to play Adolf Hitler in the film, but eventually withdrew due to schedule....

    Straightforward narrative influence perception

    The whole movie is too flat and straightforward, and the slow pace brought by the straightforward narrative affects the perception. Because the climax of the entire assassination activity is just a momentary explosion, a lot of space is spent on the process of preparing for the assassination, although there are two "dress rehearsals" in the middle. The assassinations, but they all happened in a flash, so audiences accustomed to...
