War and Peace

To be honest, as far back as I can remember, although I understand that war will bring cruelty and blood and tears, in fact, I have no clear impression of the so-called war. In the 1990s, the war was so far away from us that we could only understand it from the so-called anti-Japanese dramas on TV, and only a few words in the article, so when I faced those bloody fears in this movie, I was afraid.
Blood will bring fear and disaster. This is a fact that I have always believed. When the film depicts cruel wars, pure love, dirty politics and complex human nature from a unique perspective, rational, calm and objective, I am even more certain. The so-called war in my mind, when the protagonist is in a predicament in the face of the jealousy of his rival, and faces a difficult confrontation with the enemy, I deeply feel the despair and pain brought by the war, and the death within reach. , the elusive bullet, and the lover who came to help in the crisis. When life and death are at stake, the victory of the protagonist is even more thrilling and exciting. Perhaps, restoring the essence of war and shaping the real hero on the front line of life and death is the purpose of this film.

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.
