It is based on a true story, just has the effects of a Hollywood picture. But think about it, its definately not as bad as it could've been. It is still one of my favorites. I mean the opening scenes really capture the brutality of the Eastern Front, and Stalin's order for 'Not one step back'.
And the duel with the other German sniper is also 100% true, just that there was only one encounter and not multiple.
Oh, and the love story, yea its crap, but I tend to ignore that. |
I said what I said because i actually lived in Volgograd (was Stalingrad at the time of war).
Volga river doesn't have bloody mountains on its banks, that's for one.
no, of course it's hollywood and I know it's based on true story, and I know there are worse films. But I'm saying this from a perspective of someone who lived in the city portrayed and a lot is bollocks. But since it's a movie, it can be. Pearl Harbour is 120 times worse.
In fact, that Stalingrad battle had quite a number of moments that could have been depicted... The opening scene in boats reminded me of Omaha Beach. That worries me.
