In fact, neither "Assassination of Hitler", which was circulated when it was just introduced, nor "Action Target Hitler", which was named when it was released, are not very accurate, and "Valkyrie" (Valkyrie) is the original name of the film. And "assassination" or "target of action" are only part of the action, and the ultimate goal of "Valkyrie Plan" is not only to assassinate Hitler, but to overthrow the entire Hitler regime and establish a new Germany. Perhaps compared to Chinese audiences, "Assassination of Hitler" is more direct. Such a major figure and event, coupled with Tom's box office appeal, is more likely to attract attention. And the word "assassination" is too discordant, so I came up with a "target of action" in a gentle manner.
Conspiracy, yes, all secret plans can be called conspiracy by the other party, and you can call it an uprising plan or a more high-sounding name, but there is no conspiracy. , rely on the brain. This is also a film that succeeds by relying on the brain. It seems to know that people are gradually losing their original enthusiasm for war films, and use suspenseful methods and psychological tactics to catch the audience's attention. Although you will know the result from the beginning, human curiosity will always make us eager to know, why does it happen? How did it happen? Is this really the case? Why it came out like this? Will there be no miracles?
On the premise of knowing the result, how to make a suspense film well depends on the director's skill. Fortunately, Brian Singer did not let us down. He used the image and sound effects perfectly to let us in Beats to his beat for two hours. The plot of the film is compact. Although there is no major war scene, the tension of the plot itself is enough to attract our attention, not to mention that Brian Singer makes the timely use of sound effects so wonderful, not many, but every time it makes our The most fatal blow to the bottom of my heart.
At the same time, Tom's performance in this film is enough to challenge the previous controversy over his role in this role. In the film, Tom used the facts to prove to the fans that even if he was blind in one eye and broke one hand and the other was only left with three fingers, without relying on his handsome face and naked body, I could still Good role play. Witty, decisive, but immature. I don't know the age of Captain Klaus von Stauffenberg in the facts, but the feeling of Captain Stauffenberg in the film is completely in line with a strong man with a thriving career. .
Klaus von Stauffenberg represents a group of German officers who have awakened conscience. He is not only completing a political task and saving Germany from hell, but also a personal reflection, a self. redemption. Of course, from the "eyeballs" that appear countless times in the film, we can also understand it as Staffenberg's personal revenge. As long as he is a thinking human being, we can fully understand the hatred for his own injury. We don't need to be tall, big, and full, as long as the interpretation is realistic, let us believe that this is what we really want.
At the same time, some actors in the film also aroused my curiosity. The actress who played Captain Staffenberg's wife turned out to be Carice van Houten, the heroine of the "Black Book" just released in China. ; There is also a German general of the uprising, whose name is too long to remember (the English name is Police Chief Wolf-Heinrich von Helldorfq), Waldemar of Franken who played the Nazi officer in "Black Book" Kobus Waldemar Kobus. Both films are about World War II and German Nazis, and it's no wonder that the actors are partly the same. The biggest difference between the two should be that one is a conspiracy and the other is a spy.
