Who's Worse. Hitler or Stalin?

Rating: 8/10 (20 April 2010)

This is about the most awful results of war. There could be no more gut level fighting than that which took place between the Russians and the Nazis. This film is quite striking just for its war scenes. The Russians have so much resolve and they truly wore down the German machine. I'm sure that given a place at the Russian front terrified most German soldiers. Krueschev comes off ass despicable. Like most in authority, he is fine with sending wave after wave to be cannon fodder and then spends his time intimidating those who haven't' made that sacrifice. The boss, Stalin's, presence is in every scene. Jude Law's sniper is just a cog. Heroism really counts for nothing. The only result is getting the German's out of Stalingrad and turning the tide. Imagine the dehumanizing of this man. It makes the point again what a waste of lives, property, and human spirit war is. It sets back humanity every time.
