An Excellent "True Hero" Movie

Rating: 10/10 (7 December 2001)

I absolutely loved this movie!! The cast was great and everyone perfectly fitted into their roles especially the main characters. I have seen many war movies but no movie has ever made me feel that I wanted to go out and get the bad guy(in this case the German sniper Major Konig). This movie has it all: love, loss, suspense, action, and betrayal. The story line is one that quickly draws the viewer into the world of battle, the battle for Stalingrad and the personal struggles the characters faced. It most strongly illustrated how one man in this case Vassili Zeitsev (Jude Law) could change the fate of his country and how he alone could give hope to those who had none. Vassili was not the only hero, there was Tania(Rachel Weisz),Danilov(Joseph Fiennes),Koulikov(Ron Perlman) and others. These heros had wove a fine web of dependence upon each other to stay strong, stay alive and to face the enemy. This movie definitely defines what a true hero is.
