What a tragic farce

It's a wonderful feeling to watch a movie that you already know the end of, because you know where the point of the road is, and even if the road is full of ramifications, in the end it's just futile, and everything will come to nothing. The doomed ending has been waiting at the end from the beginning of the film, even before the filming started. Because history is irreversible. This is destined to have many tragic stories staged.
In the latter part of "Action Target Hitler", it focuses on describing the history of Stauffenberg returning to Berlin and starting the "Valkyrie" project with others after the assassination of Hitler. Under the "deception" of false orders, the reserves outside the city began to capture Berlin and arrest SS officers and men. In cities other than Berlin and even the whole of Europe, there are frequent reports of good news. Hitler's cronies are constantly being arrested, and the Nazis are disintegrating little by little. News of the assassination of Hitler, the German leader, spread in various ways. All of this is proceeding in an orderly manner, as planned by Stauffenberg et al.
Sitting in the movie theater, watching the handsome Tommy Staufenberg on the big screen and other handsome old and young men in military uniforms commanding the frontline battle nervously and heroically, everyone's faces appeared. The complex expression of excitement, excitement and some trembling before dawn was about to arrive, and my heart was very uncomfortable. I actually have a feeling that this scene in front of me is like a funny farce, even like a child playing a house. No matter how fierce the people in front of them are, they will eventually come to nothing, because we all know that Adolf Hitler is not dead, and Stauffenberg's assassination failed. So everything he did after he got back to Berlin was just a vain dream.
This is a sad story. We sat in the movie theater for two hours, following a story. Witnessed the story from beginning to end, as if history were repeating itself. However, just as the climax of this story arrived, a voice appeared in my consciousness that made my emotions unable to boil with the climax, that is: "Hitler is not dead, and the Valkyrie project will eventually end in failure." This is a kind of gap. I feel that between the irreversible history and the heroic story unfolding in front of us, everyone is so helpless and heartache.
It was also a doomed ending before the movie started. Stauffenberg and others were finally executed for "treason". He was only 36 when he died. The 36-year-old young colonel had already lost a right hand, a right eye and two fingers of his left hand due to the European battlefield.
There are so many movies about the Nazi war in Germany that never leave our sights. In recent years, most of the themes of such films have begun to describe various stories of ordinary people in the context of the war, and then reflect on the Nazi war in Germany from different perspectives. However, at this time, Tommy led a group of young and old handsome men to kill a carbine, and once again told us an old-fashioned but so true tragic heroic story.
At the end of the film, when the four are shot, Stauffenberg tells Olbricht, who is about to be executed: "Look up into their glasses, and the people will remember you." What makes a hero a hero is that Because he is always fearless, even in the face of death.
The third person to go to the execution ground was Stauffenberg, his chest straight, and he looked fearlessly at the executioner ahead. However, at this moment, a person rushed up to stand in front of Stauffenberg, and that person was his adjutant. I still remember the appearance of the adjutant. As soon as the newly promoted adjutant saw his new boss, Colonel Stauffenberg, he was told that he would carry out the plan to "assassinate Hitler", and the first sentence the adjutant said was: "I Follow you with your life pledge." At the end of the film, the adjutant delivers on his promise with his actual actions, without even saying a word. At this point, I couldn't hold back the tears any longer. Although I knew that there were quite a few interpretations in it, I was moved by being moved. The plot might be fake, but I was absolutely moved.
Stauffenberg was the last to be shot, so quickly, so let's end it!
