Valkyrie (PG-13, 2008)

One thing I might be conserned about is that little kids might be confoused on a man disobaying his country.

Personally, I like anything that deals with WWII. And this is on my list of most favorite movies set in the WWII years. This is perfect for anyone who likes a movie based on historical fact mixed with suspense and a terrific plot with diving depth, which, as CSM suggested, can open up a lot of good discussions. There are things to watch out for, though. The violence is very realistic, as is the plot, and the effect will vary from kid to kid. The language isn't frequent but the sort you often find, sadly, in movies these days. Some of the messages could be misinterpreted by younger kids and would be good for them when they are old enough to decipher right from wrong and good guy from bad guy. Same goes for role models. Overall, this was an admirably done movie. For any history loving kids, hopefully there still are, and for those who savor the realism, this is your match. I never really comprehended, before seeing this movie, that people in Germany did try to assassinate Hitler and bring an end to his ruthless Reich. Which also brings to mind this is a good history lesson. I can also say that this might give teens and young viewers and different and clearer view of injustice, violence, and doing what is right. Merry Good Discussions to you!

Very interesting movie. I enjoyed the historical aspect of it. The violence was a little harsh, but overall, I enjoyed it.

I thought this was a great movie. I easily understood it, but i'm a WWII buff. Might be little hard to understand if you don't know very much about WWII. If only Oberst Claus von Stauffenberg could have actuall killed Hitler.......

Except for some violence and one use of f---ing this powerful film is pretty clean.

Not as violent as said to be. Only 3 or 4 swears. Can't critize excessive smoking, because back then smoking was a part of daily lives. On a scale on Valkyries historical accuracy: 9/10.

As you probably know already, Adolf Hitler was an evil and despicable man who killed millions to get power. What you may not know is that some of his soliders (nazis) tried to kill him during his awful reign. There plan was to blow him up at a buisness meeting, but they failed and were executed. There gripping story is told in this movie, Valkyrie. After seeing previews for it, I immediatley knew I wanted to see it. After I did, I camed up with this conclusion: It was a jarring and tense look at WWII heroes, but it was not for kids. Valkyrie contains a shocking use of the f-word, some bullet-ridden bodies, and mature elements. While this is a great film, I recommend it mainly to teens who can take a bad ending, and adults who are into WWII. Like I said, Valkyrie is an excellent film with good characters and a spellbinding plot, it's just not for kids.
