In the upcoming movie Valkyrie Tom Cruise plays a German officer in the Nazi army who hatches a plot to kill Hitler. I find it kind of amusing from the previews just how non German Cruise sounds. Why not get Pierce Brosnan, Hugh Jackman, and Kermit the frog to play the part. Then you have English German, Australian German, and Muppet Frog German. Without a trace of a German accent Cruise declares that we have got to kill Hitler. I think a guy whose character's name is Claus should at least be drinking a Beck's or listening to some David Hasselhoff techno song. Plus without subtitles or a German accent the task of killing Hitler using an American accent doesn't seem as urgent.
Claus: Bro we gotta kill Hitler. Hes such a dick.
English German: Go away I'm watching Abbot and Costello. I still have no idea who is on first.
Claus: Dude that can wait. I'll buy you a best of Abbot and Costello movie reel now lets shoot that bitch ass mustache wearer.
English German: Throw in a Chaplin movie reel.
Claus: Fine man but you got to make me my favorite German dish when we're done.
English German: Hot dogs and apple pie it is.
