The good guys spoke quietly, the bad guys shouted. It was all about quiet dignity and having right on your side.
Nicely said. I found the judge to be particularly terrifying.
I kept catching myself hoping she would get out of it, that she would convince them she was innocent, that they would all be all right. All the while knowing it wouldn't. This wavering back and forth between hope and reality was very effective; affective, even. It made it possible to watch it without being drained of energy in the face of certain doom.
I felt exactly the same way.
There have been a few films lately in which the resistance to Hitler in Germany has been the main focus. I'd wager much that this one is better than Valkyrie.
I haven't seen Valkyrie yet, but there was a critically acclaimed mini series here a few years ago that dealt with Stauffenberg, so it will have to stand up against that one.
I haven't seen Downfall yet, either. I think that was the same studio?

Regardless of the quality of the film, the quality of the resistance is definitely inferior
