probably the best WW2 related movie i had ever seen!

Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2007)

forget about all second war movies you had ever seen... THIS IS IT! incredible photography, excellent main actor, great dressing and war customs and details. it's strong in the «history teaching side» but has also some technical nice aspects, like the character going deaf after an explosion...
this movie shows a lot that others war movies never showed... a insight vision from the people who suffered the most number of victims in the second world war (i am talking about the soviet union of course)... it contains a real inspired and focused vision on what was the Operation Barbarossa, a not very intelligent treason invasion, set by Hitlet against Stalin: "take no prisoners and burn everything to the ground"! ...but the big thing in this movie is that shows some really interesting chaos in the German\Nazi troops methods while conquering soviet ground that i rarely saw before in any movie! i can compare this chaos with the one i saw in "apocalypse now redux" among the American troops having sex with the playboy girls or the Nazi fanatic officer going berserk and shooting against the burning Jew pile in "schindler's list".
that's just one of the many interesting aspects of this movie, others are the variety of uniforms used in this movie or the constant presence of germanophiles among the occupied soviet... it's a very good perspective in the total chaos that war is... anytime, anywhere and anyone.
don't miss it! i thank karagarga for the torrent!
