The reality of the war : the hell.

Rating: 10/10 (20 November 2000)

"Stalingrad" was the first realistic war film i saw .This was 4 years ago.Since then , i only have seen another :"Das Boot".Both films shows the real war ,not the surrealist things you see in American war movies.In "Stalingrad" you see normal people having to fight in a (like all of them),horrible war.In a war not everybody is a monster ,that is what American films show about the Germans ;most of them were normal people.Of course there were monsters ,like the German official this film shows, but most of them were like you and me.This film don't try to show German soldiers like saints ,try to show them like humans. The German characters that appear in American war movies are always the same.That isn't the true ;they were people that didn't wished to be there ,fighting for a lunatic,more than 2000 miles from home.The filings you see in this film are absolute real :people crying , wishing to be in home with his woman , not in the middle of nowhere, having to fight against other normal people (the Russians)for survive, all of this in the middle of the snow and the ice,with a temperature of less 20 C degrees.This is the real war :the hell.
