“Valkyrie” is frustratingly stupid in this regard. Hitler is not frightening anymore.
Not a good way to make a movie about Nazis.

Actually, the cartoonish characture of Hitler as a constantly ranting lunatic is a diservice to historical accuracy and insight. Read Speer’s memoirs. I especially like the reaction of Speer’s father, a very successful architect, to Hilter and Speer’s plans for Berlin and on meeting Hitler personally.
