Why is this movie controversial?

[Cyclops08]

Cruise ruined “War of the World’s” and the Mission Impossible Movies.

methinks I will be skipping this one.

Kenneth Branaugh is awesome. Cruise is a dork, though. I probably won’t watch it. I can’t stand anything that he’s in.

Europe pinglist ping.

Maybe some German freepers can give some enlightenment as to why this movie is considered controversial.

Uh oh... directed by Bryan Singer (X-Men, X-Men 2, Superman Return), an openly gay director whose movie usually has some gay overtone... I have a feeling since this is about resistance against Hitler, the movie’s plot will have a strong innuendo about how Bush is doing similar thing today...

A stolen copy of the script shows that the story line has been changed to show Hitler being “cleared” of evil alien spirits by a Scientologist. Hitler then cries over his crimes, surrenders, and pays reparations to concentration camp inmates.

Yesterday's NY Post had a short article on the film, but more important, he mentioned a new book that is being sent around to prospective publishers. It looks pretty interesting. It's title for now is "13 Steps" and is about the lives of 150 of the Nazis executed as a result of the Nuremburg Trials. It's contents are based on the recollections of Major Joe Williams, now 90, who oversaw the hangings and firing squad executions at Bavaria's Landsberg Prison. It's supposed to be pretty brutal in its discussion of the atrocities perpetrated by those put to death. I'm making a note of the books authors and title so I can keep a track on it publication. Sounds like a good read to me. Here's the link to the Page Six article in the NY Post:

New Book Details Nazi Horrors

Any movie where at the end he’s put up against a wall and shot. Cant be all bad.

If “The Last Samurai” is any indication, this movie will jump the shark from docu-drama to Cult of Cruise fantasy by the second reel.

Any want to post the animated GIF where he fries Oprah with his Scientological powers?

It’s about time this story be told to a wider audience. The men who were with him are true heroes. It’s interesting to note that if Stauffenberg had succeeded Erwin Rommel would have assumed the top post. Rommel was a tough but honorable opponent in war but was someone that even Winston Churchill could speak well of as an honorable man during the war in front of the House of Commons. It’s possible Rommel could have ended the war in the summer of 1944 with the saving of countless lives.

Stauffenberg is a lesson I hope our own military takes to heart. Because when the time comes to defend the American people from it’s own criminal government (and yes that day is coming) I hope there will be soldiers brave enough to take care of the people like the Pelossis, the Reids, the Kennedys, the Lotts, and the Bushes. We can only hope.

Cruise is without a doubt, your standard Hollyweird
personality.

But, he is a great actor.
