Hilariously bad and undermines all of the film's built-up intensity to that point

@@jjrod2988no, there was one policy approved by Stalin which allowed the commissars to execute cowards and panic starters, but it was meant for the officers only, deserters were forced to the frontlines again and only shot if they refused. The policy of mass charge as a desperate attempt was discarded after the civil war since it was no longer needed, the red army was better supplied during WW2. The army was full of volunteers due to patriotic fervor and there was not a single account of soldiers being forced to charge the enemy without weapons. Don't get me wrong, Stalin was a monster but he had a pretty reasonable conduct during the war

Most people don't realize how huge WW2 was. Stalingrad wasn't alone: the Battles of Leningrad (between the Soviets and the Germans) and Shanghai (between the Chinese and Japanese) each involved 2 million soldiers engaged, as did the Russian invasion of Japanese-held Manchuria. During the battle of Kursk, the Soviets deployed 3,000 tanks in one 15-hour attack (about as many tanks as the US manufactured during the entire war). The US Army Air Force launched three strikes into Germany that involved more than 1,000 B-17 and B-24 bombers escorted by 700-900 fighters. During the invasion of Okinawa, 404 Allied ships (including 120 landing craft) were sunk or damaged. Just mind-boggling. No Hollywood movie could ever hope to properly show the sheer scale of these operations.

I doubt that only 40,000 civilians were killed. The population of about 500,000 was not evacuated (on purpose) and had to stay in the city, starving through a harsh winter, and endure the bombing, shelling, and general fighting. That would be less than 10% of the civilian population dead. Other estimates are as high as 70,000 - I guess the truth is somewhere in the middle, as there are simply no accurate reports, only rough estimates.

On November 23, German troops were surrounded in the city of Stalingrad. Adolf Hitler will order to hold the city and stay and wait for help, but all attempts by the German army to break through to the surrounded German troops in the city will fail. On February 2, 1943, the remaining 90 thousand German soldiers and officers will surrender. The Battle of Stalingrad was the bloodiest in history WW2.

18:20 - WRITER'S JEALOUSY OF SNIPER - 'Flash' is correct. The writer's need for recognition gives him an 'air of superiority' over those around him including the sniper. Earlier, he told the sniper that 'he' did all the hard work which, of course, is untrue. Already he is becoming jealous of the 'sniper's emerging notoriety. Soon after, the writer immediately 'falls' for the 'woman' and offers her a position that would bring her closer to him. However, the 'woman' prefers to remain with the 'real' fighters' including the 'sniper'. Her growing admiration for the 'sniper' increases the writer's jealousy. Because the writer's reports have 'made' the sniper famous, he feels he is no less important, perhaps even more so.

This sadly is one of those Hollywood "historical" movies that can barely even be described as "loosely inspired by historical figures and events". It's a decent movie but what is depicted has next to nothing to do with actual events either at Stalingrad or regarding the characters like Zaitsev; it's fictionalised beyond recognition. If you want to watch a really good movie that is actually reasonably accurate when describing the Battle watch the German movie Stalingrad from 1993; it's brilliant and well worth a watch.

The thing about movies like this is that they might be inaccurate in the immediate sense, but in the ultimate/overall sense they are. Like IIRC, the Russians never shot their own retreating soldiers in Stalingrad, BUT they did do so several times during the war. Same with them sending in soldiers with only one rifle for every two of them, IIRC there were several battles where they did this out of desperation, but again, just not during the battle for Stalingrad. There are a TON of little things like this, where yes, they might not have happened at Stalingrad specifically, but they are things that happened during WWII.

@@AllCatsAreBlack I did just reply but I am not sure if the comment was deleted or not due to me posting links. But regardless just typing into a search engine Russian Human Wave tactics in Ukraine will bring up countless articles detailing first hand accounts of that happening. I have also SEEN footage that I am sure I can not post on youtube of Russian teams staggering drunk across an open field unarmed and getting annihilated.

Joseph Fiennes is Ralphs brother. He plays the Russian propaganda officer. He is fabulous as a Roman Centurion in the movie Risen.

11:28 Russians weren’t classed as bad in WW2, sadly it’s very rarely spoken about but during the war Russia lost more military and civilians than all the other ally countries combined fighting Nazi Germany…and today as a write this it’s the anniversary of the Russian’s liberating Auschwitz in Poland

Horner is the composer, but the prominent theme is inspired by/ripped off from Sergei Prokoviev's score for the Soviet film _Alexander Nevsky_ about another Teutonic invasion of Russia hundreds of years earlier; specifically the 'Crusaders in Pskov' theme. Horner seems to have admired Prokofiev because he borrowed a few bars here and there in his 1980s Star Trek movie scores.

The story told in the movie is a complete fabrication but most of the individual bits are supported by the historical record. The guys in the cattle truck at the beginning represents a "penal battalion" which was a real thing and these guys were pretty much used as cannon fodder, there is no evidence that they were present in Stalingrad. The historical Zeitzev was a already an accomplished sailor in the Soviet Navy when he volunteered to transfer to an infantry unit and go fight in Stalingrad. The number of things that are "off" are too numerous to list but overall it gives a pretty good idea of what sniper teams did during the battle.

Fun fact. During this war Stalin didn’t let civilians evacuate the cities to escape the Germans because he believed it would make the troops fight harder to defend them.

This movie is very, very, very loosely based on historical fact. Basically they take a name, use a couple of famous cities, and include a war involving countries. That's about it. But dammit I still love this damn movie so much. That fountain scene is one of my favorite scenes in a war movie. The acting in this is a bit annoying because the accents (or lack thereof) are really distracting, but this is still a great movie. I love the cat & mouse aspect.
