i get to see the widely publicize in the west movie enemy at the gate and direct by jean jaques annaud . after save private ryan and which have leave an overall good impression and i hop that this hollywood product would turn out to be on the same level . but contrary to my expectation . well and let start from the beginning . from the first moment i be strike by the rosy and well fed face of the russian soldier go to the front . of course and i understand that life in the west be nice and sweet and but where be the makeup artist . all soviet soldier wear brand new greatcoat . throughout the entire movie i only saw well feed and not to say fat and face and and even danilov three day stubble ( incidentally and why do he walk around unshaven in the army . ) badly mask his well groom face . i think the director never even consider the fact that life on the soviet home front in 1942 wasn not sweet and mcdonalds restaurant just weren not there and and sausage do not get butter . i be also amuse about how people rid inside the freight rail car be stand . i think the director have never even try to imagine how it felt to ride in such a car and how it shake you from side to side and and far from anyone would manage to stay on his foot . meanwhile and the train arrive at some station and all the civilian be unloaded and soldier be herd inside and and . some men start lock the car . that right . it turn out that soviet soldier have to be padlock . why . i do not know . probably and the director believe that our grandfather fight only from fear and that if it be up to them and they would have run away and and nobody would have be leave to fight the valiant german army . meantime and the train arrive at the stalingrad station and the padlock be unlocked and and evil officer start drag the soldier out of the car . and another political officer stand nearby ( probably and the chief one and and a big bos above the other political officer ) and wave a red flag and and yell into a tin megaphone . i do not know how our western comrade see this picture and but it send me into a spasm of laughter . i haven not see such a silly scene even in the comedy series fitil ( fuse ) . but speak seriously and this be already an insult and and it more serious than it could seem in the beginning . russian soldier be show a dumb cattle and lead by the evil devil political officer . and incidentally and political officer be different . sht can occur anywhere and not just among the political officer and that why depict them in such perverted manner look extremely insulting . and that be exactly how they be depict . i specifically make several screen shot so that you could see that people with the most disgusting face be select for the role of political officer . i do not know and why jaques annaud feel personally slight by the political officer and maybe they steal his money or a cow and but his bitter hatred for our grandfather literally ooze from the screen . the scene where the soldier be unload from the train remind me of a mass escape from a psychiatric hospital and but not the red army . i do not know and perhaps the u army troop unload in just such a manner . the scene of an attack . i be simply shock by the fact that the attack begin at the whistle of a mad officer . who propose this nonsense to the director . or do he think really hard and and then couldn not come up with anything well . probably it what they call artistic license . the attack itself follow the best tradition of the western idea of how could the russian attack . in other word complete rubbish . soldier simply run as fast a they can at the machine gun and like a herd of cattle . machine gun fire long burst at them . this insulting stupidity and under the name of human wave and be invent in the west during the time of the cold war and and jaques annaud simply faithfully portray that fairy tale on the big screen .
