The male protagonist in the film, Vasily Zaitsev, is undoubtedly the epitome of a propaganda model in the post-authoritarian era of the Soviet Union. No matter how good he is. After the Great Purge, 70% of the founding fathers were executed by Stalin for treason, and 13 commanders of 15 army groups were executed, including the founding fathers, inventors of the Katyusha artillery, jet rocket experts, physicists, natural scholars Waiting for a large number of outstanding talents, which led to the incompetence after the Great Purge, and the incompetent attack with Nazi Germany entered the staff planning. After the purge of the Soviet Red Army, no matter from the decision-making level or the grass-roots level, if there is a slightly prominent fighter, the decision-making level will greatly promote it.

    The scenes of the sniping are a bit attractive, in fact...it's not worth watching them all...sex is cool!

    It seems to be rebelling against fascism, but isn't it a ridiculous act in the black socialist camp? The Nazi officer played by Harris is so real that you have sympathy for him at certain moments. It is not easy to tell a good war story with just a few characters. The subject will appear unclear if the shots are too few, and it will become a blockbuster of personal heroism if there are more shots. This is pretty good at this point.

Enemy at the Gates quotes

  • Koulikov: Nobody gives a shit about the telephone guys. I mean it's like us with the Ukrainians.

  • Vassili Zaitsev: All these men here know they're going to die. So, each night when they make it back, it's a bonus. So, every cup of tea, every cigarette is like a little celebration. You just have to accept that.
