In my impression, this should be the third time I have watched this movie. The first time was when I was studying at university, the second time was after work, and the third time was in a small hotel in Guanghai, Taishan, watching the film list and finally choosing. "The Soldiers Are Coming to the City".

There is no doubt that many people like sniper movies. In my mind, when a sniper is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is that Varisy, followed by Shunliuha.

Like a stone, hiding in the jungle, killing enemies thousands of miles away, is much more exciting than a simple melee charge. I think every boy who picks up a straight wooden stick and imagines it as a peerless sword will imagine a sniper rifle when he is tired of playing.

I found that different movies have different feelings every time I watch a movie. I always thought this movie was made by the Soviets, but later I found out that it was made by the French, so it is not surprising that some of the plots in it make people look Like the black Soviet Union. I don't want to discuss history, but the film portrays Vasily more like a complete person, from an unknown boy to a hero admired by thousands of people, to losing himself after encountering a powerful enemy, and finally finding himself. It's more of a story about growing up independently as a man.

However, the death of the colonel in the end was indeed a bit abrupt. If it could be changed to a more dramatic ending, it might be easier for people to accept it. After all, the bald colonel had a charming charm.

  • General Paulus: My army is not designed for this kind of fighting. Yesterday, yet again I had to promote 25 sergeants to replace the officers shot down by the sharpshooters. Those snipers are demoralizing my people. This city is no more than a heap of ruins, but the Fuhrer's persisting. We should trust the fuhrer's instinct, he always managed to lead us to victory. We shall be at home for Christmas. How are you going to go about finding this young Russian?
