Bearcat Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Thanks for the reminder. I want to see this movie.
Mogster Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Hmmm, that trailer suggests the director's been playing a lot of Call of Duty.... No? The ooh, aaah its in 3D framing of the shots is distracting also, the depth of field effects, the fluttering bits of paper. Of course it's only a trailer
76SQN-FatherTed Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 .... the fluttering bits of paper.... What is it with Stalingrad and fluttering bits of paper? There's paper everywhere in RO2. Will we have to battle through storms of it in BoS?
Sethos Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Looks like a typical slow-motion pew-pew over the top action flick.
gavagai Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Don't they know the academy only gives oscars to foreign films that are intellectual and 3+ hours long? 1
dkoor Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Don't they know the academy only gives oscars to foreign films that are intellectual and 3+ hours long? ROFL I think this is nice (war) movie, has all neccessary ingredients it seems, Last one I watched (on this theme was Enemy at the gates, also a nice movie. Will watch it.
FlyingNutcase Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) I hope this comes West. IMDB only mentions a Russia release, October 10th. Nice timing for BOS~ Edited September 21, 2013 by FlyingNutcase
Freycinet Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 ..Made by the son of Sergei Bondarchuk no less... Sergei did some incredible "big set" movies, including "War and Peace" and "Waterloo" in the seventies... Final scene in the trailer, ten burning men jumping up and attacking the Germans, seems an over-the-top reference to the famous case in Stalingrad of a Russian soldier whose molotov cocktail had gone off in his hands throwing himself at a German tank... - Seems the rest of the movie is similarly over-the-top, which shouldn't really be necessary with a subject such as Stalingrad! The best Stalingrad movie will probably remain this one from 1993: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108211/ Hopefully the new movie will give a bit of free PR to BoS. :-)
Cybermat47 Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) Eh, I think I'll stick with Das Boot for depressing foreign WWII movies. Edited September 21, 2013 by Cybermat47
69th_chuter Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Oh, yeah. I remember checking this out, they used a Siebel 204 as a basis for a wrecked 111. I would really love to have a Siebel ... They did a fair job on the panzer IVs, although they used the yet to be developed skirts to hide the T55 road wheels. It might be worth checking out. PS. The greatest battle in history?
Heywooood Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 any battle that 'saves a nation' is bound to be called that...especially in that nation
Finkeren Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Don't they know the academy only gives oscars to foreign films that are intellectual and 3+ hours long? Except when they don't. Unless you define "intellectual" simply as "not dumb" there is hardly any basis for that stereotype anymore, even if there was some truth to it in the 70s.
Stray Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Judged by the trailer and PzIV Ausf H in it, I wish good luck to the producers. PzIV Ausf H was manufactured in 1943 so couldn't be in Stalingrad in 1942. I expect to see more of "historical facts" in the movie and will see it eventually, hopefully to be pleasantly surprised.
migmadmarine Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 The Oscars put much weight in the proper Ausf models. 2
Mingan Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Check out the mortar man in 2:00. In real life he would soon be one-handed.
6./ZG26_Emil Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Check out the mortar man in 2:00. In real life he would soon be one-handed.
The-Mysteron Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Check this Russian made film out one of my favs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owXQuvUNhZQ If the new Stalingrad is as good as this i will be pleased
Zak Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 What is it with Stalingrad and fluttering bits of paper? There's paper everywhere in RO2. Will we have to battle through storms of it in BoS? No, no plans for unexplainable bits of matter foating in the air in BOS Lots of propaganda pamphlets? Could be, nice guess Looks like a typical slow-motion pew-pew over the top action flick. Yep, our film makers are still trying to shot a blockbuster. Making a WWII themed movie initially gives it a bonus for patriotism Don't they know the academy only gives oscars to foreign films that are intellectual and 3+ hours long? As for me there haven't been decent Ru candidates in this field for 10 years already ..Made by the son of Sergei Bondarchuk no less... Sergei did some incredible "big set" movies, including "War and Peace" and "Waterloo" in the seventies... Fyodor/Theodor (that's the name) did a pretty good work at "9th Company". It's war movie as well, it's about soviet troops in A-stan (IMDB). We'll see if "Stalingrad" is better..
Feathered_IV Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Is that our friend Freycinet having a cuddle at 1:36?
Lord_Haw-Haw Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Hmm I think I prefer the Stalingrad movie by Joseph Vilsmair: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzYE5dlY28o
kongxinga Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 The Russian Stalingrad seems like it would have a lot of flag waving Russian jingoism/nationalism/patriotism. For a good example watch Taras Bulba financed by Putin money like I like to joke. We have Cossacks yelling "long live the (moscow) Czar" what in hades? Cossacks were freedom loving and hated centralized authority. Yes I read the book, the movie was way over the top. The german Stalingrad was a subversion of war films, and one of my favourites. Depressing though. 1
Zak Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Cossacks were freedom loving and hated centralized authority. Yes I read the book, the movie was way over the top. Good point about the cossacks, just let's keep the forum free from political discussion. About the movies - here's a fresh fan-made music video made of previously released IL2BOS gameplay footage
Zmaj76 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) Dunno if the movie is any good but I like the atmosphere of the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAPmOrNzlPc Edited October 19, 2013 by Tvrdi
