Ignore reviews-- Excellent film says Stalingrad Vet

Rating: Null/10 (19 March 2001)

Here is message I forward from Great Uncle visiting US from Stalengrad:
I would like to say I am disappointed with many reviews of this fine film about my motherland. As cousin of Vassily I fought with resistance to Nazi barbarian invaders so I know what I talk about. What the hell does LA guy know about Battle of Stalingrad? This film was more realistic than Titanic. So what if Russian's speak with English accent it is an English film, not Russian. I glad that filmmakers don't stoop to hockey Russian goose step accents. Music was excellent better than Titanic and at right moments. Communism is also big part of symbolism at time as well and fit excellently into picture. Also, love scene in tunnel very realistic. Me and wife Irina who also fought in army make love in bunker with hundred others many times. In war, you make best with what you have and like in film make love when you have chance. Chance may not be after next day. So, this is good and historical film about Battle of Stalingrad from one who was there. This film is getting bad rap like Mel Gibson classic Braveheart.
Vassily would be proud of film the way it was done.
