In my impression, this should be the third time I have watched this movie. The first time was when I was studying at university, the second time was after work, and the third time was in a small hotel in Guanghai, Taishan, watching the film list and finally choosing. "The Soldiers Are Coming to the City".

There is no doubt that many people like sniper movies. In my mind, when a sniper is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is that Varisy, followed by Shunliuha.

Like a stone, hiding in the jungle, killing enemies thousands of miles away, is much more exciting than a simple melee charge. I think every boy who picks up a straight wooden stick and imagines it as a peerless sword will imagine a sniper rifle when he is tired of playing.

I found that different movies have different feelings every time I watch a movie. I always thought this movie was made by the Soviets, but later I found out that it was made by the French, so it is not surprising that some of the plots in it make people look Like the black Soviet Union. I don't want to discuss history, but the film portrays Vasily more like a complete person, from an unknown boy to a hero admired by thousands of people, to losing himself after encountering a powerful enemy, and finally finding himself. It's more of a story about growing up independently as a man.

However, the death of the colonel in the end was indeed a bit abrupt. If it could be changed to a more dramatic ending, it might be easier for people to accept it. After all, the bald colonel had a charming charm.

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.
