Stalingrad (1993)

Mustanaamio7's Movie Diary 2025 (38 movies items)

"22.1. 2025 3.5 million young German men are sent to the front, but only a small number return home. The war is presented in "Stalingrad" as harsh and abstract as it truly is. "Stalingrad" might be hard to watch for casual viewers because it doesn't offer any likable characters they could identify with. The film avoids glorifying the war, which is easy to appreciate, and it also shows how war only breaks people as the young men are used as pawns for tyrannical leaders."

"Jan 6th WW2 from a German perspective and their war with Russia centering on Stalingrad. Not particularly laudable for its action scenes but more for its exploration of soldiers at war. Questions of sacrifice,duty,humanity and survival are most salient. Overall rating 6.8. "
