CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Fromm (Tom Wilkinson) reprimands Stauffenberg (Tom Cruise) for going over his head, then forces him to salute Hitler.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
At the absolute height of World War II, German generals hatch a daring plan to assassinate Adolf Hitler and effectively render the German war machine impotent. Directed by Bryan Singer, Valkyrie stars Tom Cruise as Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, the real-life mastermind behind the elaborate plot known as Project Valkyrie: a plan to assassinate Hitler and overthrow his government from the inside. Stauffenberg has been a loyal soldier and an asset to the Reich for his entire military career, but after losing an eye, a hand, and three fingers in an Allied bombing, he reaches a breaking point. The destructive madness that his country is unleashing on the world has become too terrible for the colonel to stand silent. He joins the resistance movement -- a treasonous act, punishable by death -- and risks his life and the life of his family for the chance to change history. Comprised of high-ranking officials working in secret, the German Resistance has access to the inner workings of the government and military, putting them in the perfect position to dispatch the dictator and then use his own official contingency plan to seize power -

Cruise’s most overlooked role (aside from no attempted accent for his character), and one of cinema’s most overlooked movies!

[@tsdobbi]

Eh. What bugs me about the history of this is these guys were regarded as heroes. They were opportunists. They didn't try to overthrow Hitler until the writing was on the wall for the 3rd reich and it was evident defeat was only a matter of time. Where were their high minded ideals when everything was going Germany's way in 39-41? They wanted to overthrow Hitler to bring the allies to the peace table to sign an armistice, which they felt the allies would agree to as opposed to unconditional surrender with Hitler gone, where all of the conspirators would of course occupy the highest positions in the new German government. While yes, they likely wanted to spare Germany the destruction it would face, they also likely knew they would end up at the end of a noose by the Allies at the end of the war anyway.

[@ComedyBros5]

@@tsdobbi Well said, and I agree with all you stated. However, I still enjoy the movie, and still view the men as heroes, or at the least, braver than most. Yes, they only moved when it appeared Hitler was on the end of his ropes. But, they still did it knowing good and well that they would likely lose their lives.

That was pretty common on July 20.

[@leonards9381]

Ya know, I said something to my friend in a text message about this movie and never searched for it. Now I'm seeing it in all my adds or something with Cruise. Tracking spiders at their best !

[@EGoWhittier]

So many comments about Tom Cruise cutting off his hand for this role. What is more amazing was that he only had 6 months to grow it back for his next movie.

[@earthhound]

1:14 When your friend says Merry Christmas but you won't say Merry Christmas back.

[@q-anon3600]

1:34 "I'LL HIT!" LOL

[@Spoonmancometogether]

Such an amazing yet simple scene

[@coldbeyond]

This scene was such a chilling and giving-goosebumps moment really 😮😶

[@joward2589]

He was actually shouting “Hell hitler” then giving them invisible middle finger

[@dontfearthereaper2887]

or a big giant middle finger

[@parrisprice5892]

I liked Valkyrie, great casting,well timed climax. Good acting. Brannagh n Nighy n the rest3.5 stars

[@darkrichard]

General Fromm he's saluting to was one of the main reasons why Valkyrie failed. I just came back from his office in Berlin where I filmed the whole story on Stauffenberg

[@turjo97]

I just love this movie... ❤ masterpiece and one of the best of Tom.

[@HopliteWarlord]

If this really happened Staffenburg was a legendary badass. Very powerful scene!!!

[@bennieboi7114]

Luckily with the magic of Scientology Tom was able to regenerate a new hand after filming.

[@WadeWilson-]

"Anyone have a question? Can I see any hands?" 1:29 "Very funny"

[@baneblackguard584]

i love the way the general looks uncomfortable when it happens. the statement was not lost on him.

[@zachhoward9099]

Major Remer was actually promoted to Colonel after the Valkyrie Incident as a reward for putting down the insurrection, by the end of the war he was a General (a Major General I believe) though from what I've read he wasn't very well liked by his men. You can see an interview with him in the amazing WW2 1973 Documentary The World At War

[@Doody2010]

Man I love Tom Wilkinson!

[@foolst0p]

InThroughHere Tom Cruise

[@Doody2010]

Tom Wilkinson is the actor who plays General Fromm.

[@brandondaniels9471]

He was born to play great 'asshole' roles just like J.T. Walsh, Jon Voight, James Woods, Cole Hauser, and Gene Hackman. LOL!

[@brandondaniels9471]

Wilkinson is one of the best character actors/movie bad guys of all time _(along with Chris Cooper and JT Walsh)._

[@faisuhaneef5951]

Another reason to love Tom cruise

[@adelabdulwahid3408]

one of the best scene in Valkyrie movie

[@IsaiahRichards692]

Lord Cornwallis was fired by King George III for surrendering at Yorktown. Now he has a new job!

[@RoanLarsen3D]

I guess you could say that was pretty... underhanded.

[@ekathe85]

*shades on* *rock music plays*

[@honeygalal1712]

Fabulous scene is telling everything with one gesture

[@peteranserin3708]

The lengths actors go to, to secure movie roles is astounding.

[@user-so9co5vx3l]

Tavington, damn him damn that man

[@rolandch.4281]

He’s actually going 👌

[@ivan-to2zy]

You can't see it but Tom cruise was actually flipping that guy off when he did the salute

[@ThunderAppeal]

It was a very good movie, extremely underrated.

[@A-VeryJudgemental-Guy]

Ok now that I’ve finally watched this, KZbin can you please stop recommending it to me

[@TheGrenadier97]

Davy Jones and General Cornwallis

[@lewisandrew8127]

Colonel Stauffenburg cut his own hand off as a silent act of Deffiance Wow what a hero.

[@mcdonaldtrump228]

Man i just love this movie

[@fatherofdragons4880]

Such a good actor is Tom. You can feel his hate.

[@nikospaleologos3907]

Decent movie, definitely watchable. I like all the apparent cinema connoisseurs in the comments, so much wasted talent spent judging everyone and everything.

[@gregariouswoodworks1270]

Wow Tom really took stunts to a whole new level by chopping his arm..glad it grew back so he could fly at +Mach 10

[@John-pr6sw]

Tom cruise is so renown for doing his one stunts that he cutout his eye and cut off his hand for this role
