	Review: Stalingrad (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Stalingrad, a 1993 German/Swedish co-production from Guenter Rohrbach, the producer of Das Boot, is such a picture.
		Stalingrad faithfully re-creates the principal historical aspects of the battle while telling a more intimate tale through the eyes of a small group of German characters.
		Stalingrad is packed with tension, and the battle sequences are startlingly realistic, but it's the inescapable message that lingers.

		Stalingrad is turned into a hell of rubble and flame as the Red Army fights for survival, fall 1942.
		Stalingrad was not the Holocaust, but its scale, its bleakness, its challenge to morality, to faith in a meaningful universe, demands an act of memory.
		The battle of Stalingrad lasted more than six months, from the August aerial assault that began to turn the city on the Volga into rubble (and provided the Russian troops with ready-made defensive positions, as well as severely limiting the use of German armor) to Nazi Field Marshal Paulus' surrender on Feb. 2.

	Stalingrad (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stalingrad is a 1993 film by Joseph Vilsmaier, similar to Apocalypse Now and Platoon in its approach to depicting the horrors of war in a realistic and unromanticized fashion.
		The movie follows a platoon of German Heer soldiers as they are transferred from Italy and their recent experiences in North Africa, to Russia and ultimately find themselves unwilling participants in the Battle of Stalingrad.
		The scenes in the city attempt to capture the nature of combat in Stalingrad.

	Metroactive Arts \| Stalingrad
		A few interesting skirmishes highlight Stalingrad, among them a skirmish with your sense of disbelief when the film implies that the Germans were the injured party and were not such bad fellows after all--they even try to rescue a little boy who is basically a Russian version of comics kid Dondi.
		Stalingrad sometimes sustains, but mostly loses, that chill in set piece after set piece: a battle in a wrecked factory; a suspenseful scene of a human tank trap made of a prison battalion; and a hellish slaughterhouse of a military hospital.
		Stalingrad is the work of a German company with German stars, and maybe the film's most insoluble problem is this German perspective.

	STALINGRAD (3) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)*
		* The movie STALINGRAD, as its title indicates, is a narrative about the battle of Stalingrad, the confrontation between the German Wehrmacht and the Red Army from the late summer of 1942 to early 1943 that resulted in the destruction of the entire German 6th Army.
		STALINGRAD is a fictionalized portrayal of the battle.
		Finally, STALINGRAD is about two and a half hours long, and I think it would have had more impact and would have lost little if they had trimmed about a half hour out of it.

	Battle of Stalingrad
		After the Stalingrad debacle, Hitler understood that his days were numbered and decided to resolve the "Jewish problem" once and for all.
		German director Joseph Vilsmaier's 1993 "Stalingrad" is a powerful antiwar film that focuses on the disintegration of the German army under the combined forces of the Soviet army and the brutal Russian winter.
		Stalingrad is expected to open in London in late spring.

	Movie Review - Stalingrad
		Stalingrad, from the producers of the classic Das Boot, is nearly unique.
		The battle of Stalingrad, well known to historians, was one of the most viscous and bloody battles in the history of warfare.
		The end of the movie has a strong anti-war theme, but it is well stated within the context of the subject matter.

	Stalingrad Movie Discussion
		The movie was pretty good, with the actors speaking in german and with subtitles in english, otherwise...
		These German soldiers' struggle to survive in such a desperate and hopeless situation for the first time after countless victories by their armies exhibits the reality of war that there is always a fine line between victory and defeat.
		Stalingrad is a sinonim for horific suffering of the people that were under german army siege for almost 3 years and also a sinonim for inhuman and irrational behaveour of german army.

		Stalingrad surveys the misery of the battle of Stalingrad, the winter siege that cost the lives of almost one and a half million people, Russian defenders and German invaders alike.
		This movie has surpassed any previous depiction of the stress and hardship's that the common soldier and civilian alike faced in WW2 that I have ever seen and I felt this is also the first war movie to take the glory out of battle and replace it with the truth "war is hell".
		Of all his works Stalingrad stands out as on of those films that are enjoyable to watch if u are into "realistic war movies" (realistic compared to hollywood) but which fall short when it comes to story telling and depth of the subject.

		This movie starts slowly in a very nice place and ends slowly in a very bad place, without hope or feeling that the characters have achieved something by their heroic actions.
		It is first a movie about lost causes in the world of war, and only secondly a war movie which takes place in Stalingrad.

		The Battle for Stalingrad was one of the bloodiest and most crucial battles of that campaign.
		With this brilliant atmosphere one would believe that the movie would be beautifully scored and have heart pounding music.
		What sets this film apart other war films is that instead of following the larger battle that is the battle of Stalingrad this film chooses to follow the intimate carnage between two well trained men fighting for their country.

		The battle of Stalingrad (August 1942 - February 1943) was the death of Hitler's dream of the conquest of Europe and is probably the most famous battle in history.
		There are two well-known videos available: (1) The 1993 German movie Stalingrad (made for the 50th anniversary of the battle) and (2) The 2001 US movie Enemy at the Gates.
		The US movie shows matters from the Russian side, taking great liberties with the famous story of the duel between the top Russian snipper Vassili Zaitsev and his German counterpart while using up half the screen time with a fatuous and shallow love story in Hollywood soap opera fashion.

		This movie occasionally decides to have some dramatic combat scenes in it, but they are usually cover for a hideous plot to get the girl back on screen.
		The old war movie Battle of the Bulge is a big steaming pile of crap as far as history goes, but this is actually worse.
		Finally, only the stars are left, so you know the movie is grinding to a close and you'll just have to endure some pontificating by guys with fake blood coming out of their brave, brave little Hollywood mouths.

	All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: Stalingrad
		STALINGRAD by director Joseph Vilsmaier is an effective anti-war film that has more in common with ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT than with any other film.
		In contrast, STALINGRAD is an ensemble piece (Fritz Reiser (Dominique Horwitz), Hans von Witzland (Thomas Kretschmann), Manfred "Rollo" Rohleder (Jochen Nickel), GeGe (Sebastian Rudolph), Irina (Dana Vavrova), General Hentz (Martin Benrath) and Otto (Sylvester Groth)) where we don't really know any one soldier as much as we get into their collective psyche.
		STALINGRAD, as you may will have guessed, tells the story of one of the bloodiest battles of World War II, the German siege of Stalingrad.

		Unlimited movies can be made about World War II and it possible that every single one can be good, but it is unlikely.
		I think the most interesting of the three stories is the Battle of Stalingrad as a whole, yet that is the one given the least attention.
		In fact, the movie seems to make fun of and criticize Russian propaganda at several times, especially in the cheesy scenes between Law and Fiennes (as mentioned in my 'Boring' section) where Fiennes explains to Law how he is holding the city on his shoulders alone.

	Stalingrad: Interview -- Strategy Informer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Petr Prohorenko: Stalingrad is a military-historical real-time strategy which covers the whole period of the battle for Stalingrad paying as much attention to details as possible.
		When we started developing Stalingrad we knowingly aimed an unoccupied niche of a “documentary” game, which thoroughly and precisely reconstructs of the battles of WW II.
		From the viewpoint of technologies used in Stalingrad, these two games are very alike and despite the fact that buildings and units in Stalingrad have much more details, minimum system requirements are the same.

		The movie takes a great true story and adds drama and action, but its still a good movie.
		A great battle scene for a factory is found in the movie, along with sewer fighting.

	Enemy at the Gates DVD review on AudioRevolution.com
		Then we're thrust into a nightmarish scene of adult Vassili crossing the Volga to Stalingrad, while being bombed, shelled and strafed by the Germans who are trying to take over the city: bodies spurt blood and tumble into the river; fleeing soldiers are gunned down by their officers.
		If the movie had focused more intently on the duel between Zaitsev and Konig, it would have been a stronger, more exciting film, and ultimately more believable.
		Krushchev really was a hero of Stalingrad; knowledge of how he behaved later undoubtedly colored the writing, but probably not for the better.

	Metroactive Movies \| 'Enemy at the Gates'
		In most accounts of a war, these sharpshooters are the most hated of soldiers--though their solitude and high-angle telescopic views of battle are all dynamically right for the movies.
		In the German-made movie Stalingrad, the tendency to make the war a German tragedy was dubious enough.
		Stalingrad wasn't just the place where the Soviets slammed the Nazi menace to a halt; it was also a taste of the Mad Max-style wars of the future, in house-to-house fighting in post-apocalyptic weather.

		Refreshing to see a movie where the German Army was the main theme.
		Although the ending,in truth, was a bad ending for the Germans, it would have been nice to see one of the hero's escape back to the homeland.
		You will not find a better movie that combines the facts of the battle and brings forth the raw, powerful emotions all in one package.

		Without doubt Stalingrad except this time it would be made properly, without the nonsense love triangle and the serious (and insulting to the Russians) inaccuracies seen in Enemy at the Gates.
		I would like to see a movie made with the main charaters as german soldiers so people could see what it was like for them and not just are guys.
		Likewise, movies from the squad level like "Big Red One" are also crap since they don't really show any reality at grunt level.

		During World War II at the battle of Stalingrad an extraordinary Russian sniper named Vassili Zaitsev was stalked because of his popularity and exploits as a sniper.
		Their battle became a personal battle of survival between the two as the war raged on in the city around them.
		Another movie came out in the early nineties about the contemporary sniper character.

	FILM REVIEW -- German Film Takes Harsh View of War
		As grim a depiction of war as we're likely to find in the movies, the stunning and depressing new film ``Stalingrad'' presents a point-blank look at one of the bloodiest battles of World War II -- from a German army vantage point.
		For anyone interested in war movies, this one, from the producer of ``Das Boot,'' is likely to be a classic.
		Two of the men, an idealistic young lieutenant named Hans (Thomas Kreischmann) and a gung-ho noncom named Rollo (Jochen Nickel), soon are part of a herd of troops dispatched to Russia to fight in what was to become a decisive World War II battle, and the first major defeat for Hitler's Third Reich.
