About a month after the assination attempt, Hitler called von Stauffenberg a selfish coward. If he had really wanted to save Germany from Hitler , he could have shot Hitler with his service pistol. (General Halder wanted to do the same thing in 1940, but was too afraid.) Of course, the guards would then have killed von Stauffenberg. The fact that he made sure he survived proved he wanted power for himself. An interesting interpretation of von Stauffenberg's motives. . .
I can't stand how Hollywood generally does history - its disgusting. Of course Tom Cruise - the Scientology Git - what a fucking loser he is. I'd rather read subtitles thank you. The Downfall was fantastic. The attention to historical detail was phenomenal. This story will have as much scientific fact as the Last Samurai - close to none. Tom Cruse will get a nice Nazi uniform to frolic around in with his gay lovers but that's another story!
Tom doesn't even have a German accent in this. I mean seriously, how crap is that. I hate it when they do films set in other countries, and they just have American accents. Seriously guys, put a bit of effort into it.
Im going to enjoy this movie and its got nothing to do with supporting scientology its a history piece. everyone should know what went on in WW2 its a learning tool.
I'm not here to trash your religion clayliving, you can believe whatever you want. But there are concerns about practices and abuses that have websites and forums springing up all over the internet. Please do your own research outside of scientology websites. This many people can't be lying.
Look up the video from the Berlin reporter that went undercover. Stern did that one. The guy was undercover for five months and had to leave for all the pressure they put on him.

Go watch Jason Beghe's interview on YouTube. Go to EXSCIENTOLOGYKIDSdotCOM. There are current scientologists posting there anonymously too. Go to XENUTVdotCOM and watch the videos there of scientologists treating people like dirt. I'm not naive, I'm worried. People's lives are being damaged. Maybe you can turn a blind eye to the mountains of info and testimonies but I think that is training, not common sense
I'm a Scientologist. You're so naïve. Do you seriously believe everything that mainstream media tells you, or everything you read on the internet? ACTUALLY WALK INTO one of our churches and find out for yourself what it is by reading one of Ron's books. Are you just going to go along with what the media wants you to think?? Or are you going to OBSERVE for yourself?? You're a product of social engineering. Sorry to say.
It's so funny to me that people keep coming here and adding negative ratings to my comments. Do you people even know anything about scientology? Or are you just 12yr old girls upset that someone as cute as Tom C. is getting picked on?
There are very good reasons his career has nose dived & why this movie is doomed. There are also very good reasons why people are boycotting his movies - so they aren't putting money in scientology's coiffers.
This movie will probably end up going right to DVD. It had a chance before they picked Cruise to star in it but after that it was good as done for. Just like Tom Cruise's career is about done for. Every time you hear his name now it's followed by a joke. Maybe if he hadn't tried to be the self righteous scientology poster boy he'd still be a big star but his arrogance blew it for him. I liked him once. Maybe one day I can again if he leaves the cult. Stranger things have happened.
This movie is a dead stick. It's already doomed to flop. Pushed back three times into next year into a low competition release slot doesn't look very hopeful. They should have picked someone to play the lead wasn't the joke of Hollywood. Even Oprah can't save Tom Cruise's career.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Stauffenberg was over 6 feet tall & yet they picked a scientologist MIDGET to play him. The director, Bryan Singer, is a homosexual Jew. I doubt he'll give a balanced picture of Germans from that era. However I could be wrong, it remains to be seen.
Oh come on - with Tom Cruise at leats people will want to watch it. (though I concur Stauffenberg was more of a man and more handsome to boot). When we made a movie out of it in Germany in 2004 or so nobody cared about it...
None of these people sound German retard. They are all British and American. Would you rather have the film entirely in German and with German actors and no budget and no one watches it and it makes 1 million at the box office?
its a good thing that germans did not do this movie - no offense to the germans. doing it this way makes it more real to ppl that this part of history could happen again in any country or could have happened in any country. good way to reflect on the kind of society we live in.
funny you all assume i am canadian..can any of you fucks take a joke? who gives a shit about scientology..obviously no one here cares about the fucked up shit the US pres. has done.
Hitler had a manic obsession with Germany dominating Europe and creating a superrace. It was either that or total destruction. More rational people would have not taken such risk, whether they were admirable people or not.
I really hate to agree with a anti-American Canadian Bush basher, but I have to get the Devil his due regarding the Scientologists persuing a political and recruiting agenda in he casting of Cruise in this movie.
Im Canadian, but somehow seeing this, an insult to intelligence and common sence, i feel i must appologize to all German people for this abomination. Its a childish retaliation against the $cientology ban review in Germany. This is as offensive, i can only imagine, as Bush playing as Jesus, Or someone bastardizing the buddhist faith to sell jewelery. Kim Jong-Il as George Washington? Fuck you Tom. Fuck you in the ass with a big rubber dick.
hey, wait, you mean Bush IS NOT Jesus? Shit. HA HAHAHAH
Are the writers/directors etc scientologists as well? Why arent they as concerned about the US government...Bush is a war criminal...and cheney...who would play Cheney?
I agree, germans can make these movies so much better when its a story of there own people, i can only expect to much glamour to much english and to much fancy walking or cruise here with some romantic in it i guess... take pearl harbor as example i guess, and in that movie you didnt even have the problem of germans speaking english wich i allways hate the most.
tom cruise does not fit his role....

Dear Tom,
Why does Scientology have Teams of lawyers, Detectives, Thugs and internet Trolls to defend Scientology?
What is Scientology afraid of?
Why is Scientology afraid of people learning what it does to people that criticise it?
Why not start clean, admit the criminal things it does to people?
Why does Scientology charge over $250,000 to learn it's Truths?
Why would they charge anything if it is a Religion and it is tax exempt?
