VHS Movie Reviews of Stalingrad

Movie Review: Good War Movie
Summary: 4 Stars

After having read a few books and scene numerous documentaries on the subject. The World at War series did a great job on this. I had to purchase this movie even knowing the reviews here were mixed. I agree with many reviews on both sides. Overall I would say this to be a good movie though. It was well made and acted. My only complaint is they tend to portray the german soldiers as cry babies, deserters, remorseful, disobedient, and un-tough. I'd say that's very far from the real truth. The german soldier was as good as he was because he wasn't any of those things. Obviously with so many german soldiers in this battle you would find some of these kinds of people but all together in one company? That's hard to believe. I'd say the majority of them were not remorseful at all. And they surely wouldn't have survived as long as they did had they been disobedient slackers. That was a little irritating. Still, on the whole this was very well done.

Summary of Stalingrad

It's tempting to call this harrowing picture a World War II version of All Quiet on the Western Front: both films take the perspective of ordinary German soldiers at ground level. 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. Not unlike Spielberg's approach to Saving Private Ryan, German director Joseph Vilsmaier rarely steps outside the action to comment on the higher purpose of the war, assuming the audience is aware of the evil of the Nazi regime. Instead, we simply follow a group of soldiers as they endure a series of gut-wrenching episodes, events which have the tang of authenticity and horror. Vilsmaier has a taste for symbolism and surreal touches, which only add to the unsettling sense of insanity this movie conjures up so well. --Robert Horton
