be a russian i want to say that many russian be offend by this movie . though it have some real stuff in it and many thing be stupid and even abusive . like russian soldier be bring to the front line in the sealed car with barred window like criminal or some sort of cattle . or soviet officer only drink vodka and shout around . how do they win the war only do that . a hollywood director sit in his cozy chair can not even imagine what be that war like . and i think he doesn not want to . in russia and we have be teach a little about the war . stalingrad have a long battle in the middle of a cold winter of the century . people be starve and freeze to death . and a red cheeked boy walk around in short ( at 40 . ) look like a stupid joke . so do a soldier woman with long paint nail put on her make up before the attack . so do the slogan in russian on the wall long live the socialism . do the director really think the russian be such maniac to write on the wall how they love the socialism . we will win . that a real slogan from that time . this movie have a lot more inaccuracy but i can not and do not want to enumerate them all . just . the director should be embarrass of his work .
