the film be about the battle of stalingrad . for those of you who do not know anything about it and it be the bad battle in the second world war . over 1 million people die in the course of the battle . this be the only film that i have see that seem to have actually capture how bad thing be in the war between russia and germany . what i really like about it be that the two ideology ( nazism and communism ) be nowhere in the film . unlike most american film and the german be not see a blood thirsty murderer and but what the average german foot soldier be and a person . the film revolve around four soldier fight in stalingrad . they be transfer there to try and take the city . the film follow these men from august of 1942 to early 1943. during this time and they learn about the horror of war and try to find a way out of the battle . through the entire film and one feel the desperation of the entire battle . unlike enemy at the gate the film maker do not try to put some sappy love story or dress up factual occurrence of the battle . this film may be fiction and but it convey what happen in the bloody battle in world war ii .
