Evaluation

This is not a movie that describes the battle of Stalingrad from a macro perspective. Its protagonist is a group of German soldiers, telling their tragic experience on the battlefield. The movie allows us to see some scenes that are not seen in ordinary movies, but are not uncommon on the battlefield. These small scenes are indeed the result of the Germans' reflection on World War II.

As the film reveals, there is no winner on the battlefield, the Germans did not win, the Russians did not win, the soldiers at the bottom did not win, the generals did not win, the soldiers did not win, and the people did not win. War is the greatest tragedy in the world. Don't pay for the personal will and ambition of some sb politicians.

In addition, the soundtrack is good and the translation is bad (resource problem).

    The production can be quite rough, the war scenes, the sets, all reveal a small family atmosphere. There is also a big problem with the script. It seems that the whole screen is full of cowards who are scared by the war. I know that the theme of this film is to establish an anti-war stance by expressing people's fear, but this theme is clearly overstated. The actors are also pretty bad.

  • Otto: You know we don't stand a chance. Why not surrender?

    Capt. Hermann Musk: You know what would happen if we do.

    Otto: Do we deserve any better?

    Capt. Hermann Musk: Otto, I'm not a Nazi.

    Otto: No, you're worse. Lousy officers. You went along with it all, even though you knew who was in charge. Hermann...
