I went to the show early today with a gal pal of mine to see the movie Valkyrie. My GF went because she has a crush on Tom Cruise, I went because I love history. All in all, it was a pretty good movie and the popcorn and milk duds were great!
As seen in previews, it's a historical thriller set in Nazi Germany during World War II which tells of the 1944 plot by German officers to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Of course, there's more to it but I'm not writing this to give a synopsis of the movie.
The movie is pretty much historically accurate which was suprising since most movies love to add extras to make it more exciting. After the movie was over, my GF turns to me with an astonished look and says..."you mean Hitler didn't get assassinated?" For a moment I thought I was on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and it was a Jaywalking skit.
She was serious. Here I thought the average person on the street knew the circumstances of how Hitler died.
My GF went to college for 1 year and told me she never learned about world wars in school. I'm curious...if you don't major in history, do they not teach any history that's in the 20th century? I would think learning about 2 world wars would be pretty darned important
