I have seen the Korean war movies, and I am deeply impressed by their reflections on the war. I have to say that the filming is wonderful. We may not feel anything when we were born in a peaceful age. Eastern films and Western films are always the same. It is different. The wars of Westerners always have a color of personal heroism. The United States made such a film "Soldiers in the City".

In the former Soviet Union, Vasily was recruited into the army. At that time, the Nazis had invaded Russian territory. Stalingrad would be a tough stop with the German army.

Some of them may still be students without any combat training. They are full of enthusiasm to destroy the invaders for the motherland, but they don't know how cruel this war is.

As soon as they got off the train, Vasily and his comrades were suddenly attacked by air strikes. They didn't know what was wrong. Many people were crowded on the boat and were used as living targets by the Nazi planes.

After the air raid, there were mourning and stumps everywhere, which was even more exciting and crueler than a domestic drama that killed a few devils with one blow.

The battle is about to start, and everyone has to get their guns and bullets. I don’t know why, but Vasily only got a few bullets. This is a war.

I don't know if the US made a movie to disgust the Soviet Union. At the beginning of the battle, no one is allowed to retreat. Violators will be executed.

The Nazis quickly occupied the city with their powerful firepower. Those soldiers who retreated were shot to death by their own people.

Because of the poor morale of the Soviet army, it was also one of the reasons why their own people shot, because the Nazis had already opened the door.

Vasily was also on the battlefield, and among the retreating crowd, he simply lied directly on the dead body and avoided this section by pretending to be dead.

It was also because of this feigning death that he achieved the title of a fighting hero. Soon after the Nazi tank left, several officers in German military uniforms rested not far from him.

But Vasily didn't die in the dead pile. Not far from it, there was Danny, a political commissar of literary and art propaganda. He was just pulling the bolt and aiming at them tremblingly, but there was no bullet in the gun.

Vasily climbed over, he had bullets, and hoped that he would take a gun to kill these officers. Vasily, the sharpshooter, did a good job. Under the cover of artillery fire, he shot and killed 12 officers.

Under the planning of Danny's propaganda political commissar, Vasili was advertised as a famous hero to promote him, and in turn boosted morale. Vasili also became a hot figure, and many comrades in arms asked him to teach marksmanship.

Behind the sharpshooter, a fierce sniper duel kicked off, and a bigger life-and-death war is still waiting for Vasily.

This World War II movie, shot by the Americans in the Soviet Union as the background, basically reproduced the brutal scenes of the war that year without taking pictures. For example, several regiments did not receive weapons, which was also possible at that time.

There are still some complaints in the movie. The scenes are not too many, the props are good, and the protagonist's makeup I can't understand. It's a period film, and it feels like a modern war.

With the appearance of the heroine Tania, there is a little love in this cruel movie. They are all attracted by Tania's appearance. Danny hopes to be transferred to his own department to work, without wasting Tania's talent, Danny still sees him every day, the best of both worlds.

Tania is also a persistent person. In order to avenge his mother, he still gave up the telegraph operator and took the initiative to fight in the front line, because that is a belief that drives him.

Tania doesn't actually like Danny, but likes a fighting hero like Vasily. Vasily's love is just buried deep in his heart. In fact, he knows that Danny likes Tania.

At this time, the German army invited a German major to deal with Vasily. In the battle, Vasily knew that the opponent was too powerful, and the powerful was scary.

In the contests, Tania and Vasily walked together slowly. In this complex emotion, Danny was jealous of Vasily, and used his own propaganda political commissars to create fakes for Vasily. News, anger, anger, intertwined.

In the confrontation of life and death, Danny thought that Tania was killed by a grenade. In desperation, in order to let Vasily find the enemy, he used himself as a target to attract the enemy.

Before leaving, Danny said that we have created an equal society so hard, where you don't have to envy your neighbors, but there is always something to envy, a friendship and a smile.

We have worked so hard, just to make us live better, to make us take a step forward, just such a small hope, in the age of war, peace and love, friendship, always so narrow and miserable , none of this happened, they will have a gridded life, with their own ideals, people they like, and people who like you. In the era of peace, we should cherish our current life more, no matter how good we are in the future. Only by living can you be worthy of the person you love, the smile of your loved ones, and the friendship.

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.
