"Come to the City" is a film directed by French director Jean-Jacques Arnault, starring Jude Law and Ed Harris, released in 2001. The film is based on the 1973 non-fiction novel of the same name by author William Craig. The story is based on the battle of Stalingrad, telling the life and death contest between the legendary Soviet sniper Vasily and Germany's top sniper Major Konny. The Battle of Stalingrad can be called the most tragic battle in modern history. Although this film is about the Soviet battlefield, it is a real Hollywood film, so when the Soviets and Germans in the story speak authentic English, it will make people a little dramatic at first, but fortunately The intense and compact plot will gradually fade this feeling. Several sniper duels in this film can be called classics in film history. The atmosphere is very well rendered, and it can always capture the hearts of the audience, because life and death may be in an instant. However, this film also has the usual commerciality of Hollywood movies. The comedy elements and the emotional elements between the male and female protagonists are arranged very well. This design is actually perfect. 8.5 points.

Enemy at the Gates quotes

  • Vassili Zaitsev: On this day, September 20th 1942, a young shepherd boy from the Urals arrived in the city of Stalingrad on the banks of the Volga. His name is Vassilij Zaitzev. Like thousands before him he came to answer comrade Stalin's call. Armed only with a rifle, he quickly made the fascist invader realise that from now on he would be punished for every step he took in the motherland, that from here on the only way was back.

  • Vassili Zaitsev: Shouldn't we try and make the point that I'm not the only one fighting?

    Commisar Danilov: That's an excellent idea. We can take it even further though. Your battle for the production of coal is as worthy as mine. There's no 'k' in coal. Just one 'l'. Tell me if I'm going too fast.

    Vassili Zaitsev: No, you're not going too fast. Is there any other improvements?

    Mother Filipov: Why don't you get some rest? These letters can wait until tomorrow.

    Vassili Zaitsev: We should carry on. We're not tired. Thank you, Mrs. Filipov. These people took the trouble to write to us. Tomorrow we might not be around to write back.
