Movies Enemy at the Gates

[Cherry Brigand]

That scene where the commisar (?) yell at the soldiers for one person to get a rifle and another only get a grenade stayed with me when I watched it in theater. And since then, I've had the stereotypical view that Russian soldiers have been poorly equipped ingrained in me.

Ukraine war would confi nothing has changed.

The hardest part of the movie for me is how they all just had British and American accents with no explanation, think that might have been what movies just did then

I watched it with Russian voiceover so it was not a problem for me.

Enemy at the gates wasn't as good as saving private ryan

 

[PBAC]

Seems way too big of a praise. I liked it, but never thought it was anything special.

Lawrence of Arabia
Das Boot
All Quiet on the Western Front (the original - amazing book too btw)
Dunkirk
Glory
Apocalypse Now
Full Metal Jacket
The Bridge Over River Kwai
The Dirty Dozen
The Great Escape
Black Hawk Down

none of which were capable of replicating the dynamic between two snipers hunting each other 0 \

 

[EL CORINTHIAN]

Been a long time since I've seen it, but did he bang Rachel weisz while dozens of soldiers slept right next to them?

This is the scene that stood out to me. Could you imagine the stench down there? They probably haven't showered in weeks.

Edit: And they definitely weren't going to shower for a few more weeks after that.

Ed Harris is a beast

Of this there can be no doubt.


I loved it when I saw him appear in eastern promises.

You know when he would be setting his gun he still had Weisz funk on his fingers.

Ahahahah

Good movie, not ATG level as others have said, went pretty CoD/arcade ish near the end but the opening was amazing.

 

[IanEdwards]

I thought it was a decent film, but it was a little disappointing to me as I had read the awesome book War of the Rats by David L Robbins, which is a way better telling of the story.

I did it behind my back using a mirror while taking a dump

Always wondered what Annie Oakleys screen name was..

 

[HARRISON_3]

I remember watching it when it first came out and thinking it was very slow (which isn’t necessarily bad) and boring.

Maybe I should give it another shot since I wasn’t a sherdogger at the time.

 

[SirRealKiller]

I made that shot a hundred times when I was a sniper. Even no-scoped a few of them. But I'm not saying it's not tricky

I'm no sniper but have hunted deer and other animals for more than 40 years. I have made similar shots on deer running through the woods and crossing an opening like that from over 100 yards. I don't think this would be that incredible a shot for a trained sniper with the best gear. I would bet shots were made like this dozens of times over and over in the various wars.

 

[Rob Battisti]

Top 3 War Movie Ever.

Its that damn good.

And it has the most bizarre love scene ever.

Definitely felt out of left field

Nope. Saving Private Ryan, Platoon, or Full Metal Jacket if just talking war movies

Its weird, cause the battle of stalingrad is seen as one of the most important battles in modern history, and unfortunately there's never been a great movie about it.

 

[Cole train]

One of those "if its on tv, i will watch it"

No masterpiece but suprisingly good and its actually better than some rus films conserning rus snipers
