Stalingrad The movie

[rOEN911]

That looks interesting

Wow! Looks good.

 

I really liked "Enemy at the Gate", mainly because it let me see a bit of history (movie style) that hasn't really been on screen too often. It's good to see things from another point of view.

I'm rather looking forward to this.  I hope it is very epic/very Russian if you know what I mean.

I hope it will be available in the US.

I'm getting into a lot of foreign movies lately, Exodus was pretty good (especially the Stuka scene! ) and I have Citadel on order. I have no problems with watching films with subtitles. In fact I prefer it to dubbing.

 Gotta have it it looks awesome/

...Citadel on order. I have no problems with watching films with subtitles.

 

"Months after a gang of feral children attack and kill his pregnant wife, agoraphobic young father Tommy is left to raise their daughter on his own. But his persistent visions of his late wife's attackers propel his phobia to menacing new heights?"

This is an awesome film. In spite of the fact that the visual impacts are shocking, the acting and characters will attract you and keep your consideration. This motion picture has all that you need - movement, cleverness, sentiment, and so on. I will most likely watch this a lot of people more times. The main negative is the interpretation. A portion of the subtitles will make you say Huh?

The best one about Stalingrad is really the original German movie despite some effects not aging too well.

[Bussard_x]

When will this be out on DVD?

[johncage]

a bit too hollywood, unrealistic effects. especially token love story thrown in. sex scenes with beautiful blond, haha

 

reminds me of michael bay's pearl harbor

I saw it in 3D here in Los Angeles a few weeks ago and enjoyed it for what it is. The set design was what I was mostly interested in, and that was very well done. I also think it conveyed well the brutality of that type of warfare.

 

While not subtle, it is more nuanced than a Michael Bay movie. As an American, I also was intrigued to see Russian film makers portray Russians as benevolent rescuers in the framing device. It reminded me of the patriosm we Americans often display without irony, since our news media often shows Americans as the rescuers in times of foreign tragedies.

 

Anyway, this movie focused on a smaller part of the battle than I expected, and it seems no one can make a movie about Stalingrad without prominently featuring that striking statue of the dancing children... but I'm still glad I saw it.

As I've said in other threads, the film's marred by the tiny scope it focuses on. The title "Stalingrad" implies that it's about a bit more than what it is. The day we see realistic tanks (and accurate placement of the children and crocodile fountain) is the day I've died and gone to (Stalingrad Movie) heaven.
