I don\'t know if this is for everywhere else, but in Europe, to my knowledge, it\'s called Stalingrad. That is a title that I would prefer better, because this movie is about Stalingrad. This is actually my favorite World War II movie of all time, which means that you will not be seeing Saving Private Ryan or Patton on this list. I can literally do a whole review of this movie, as well as a whole commentary. It stars Jude Law as the lead role as Vasily Grigoryevich , who was known to be the best Soviet soldier in the sniper division in World War II. He came in at a time where Russia desperately needed so much hope in a time where the Nazis almost won against an army that lost more than 10 million soldiers, who were not trained, not taken care of, nor even prepared for such a battle. He teams up with a friend he starts to make, played by Joseph Fiennes, and yes, he was the man who played as Martin Luther in Luther. He plays, not only a soldier, but also as a soldier for a printing press as well. He then develops a bond with a small Russian family of a mother and a son, as well as a relationship with a female soldier who lives with them as well. As we all know, a war movie is not complete without a main villain. Ed Harris plays as a Nazi sniper, who is in a mission from the Nazis to track down Vasily, just to gain a huge advantage to win the war. As we all know, Ed Harris is always the main villain in almost every single movie that he is in. When I first saw this movie, I finally understood why. He is persuasive and friendly to just about anyone who he wants to use for his own personal gain. He is smart in just about everything, and can shoot just about every target in any speed. And the scary part about it is that it isn\'t even based off of luck at all. It shows you that he can shoot, and he is everything that makes the Nazis frightening. Just to see the condition of Russia at the time in 1942 blew my mind away. At first, my dad only taught me how corrupt the Soviet Union\'s army was in World War II. Seeing it in action was a giant step on how it was like back then. I know I don\'t like the idea of people mixing in education and entertainment, only because it gives you stuff that you only want to see. That is the reason for why I don\'t think that those two elements can ever work out and come hand to hand. But seeing the brutality and hardship of how war is really like in this movie was and is is enough for me. The most interesting part for me about this movie is how little people know about this movie. Most people I have talked to about this movie have no idea what I would be talking about when I mention this. It is a great movie in itself for what it is, and I encourage just about anyone to watch it. As a matter in fact, I will put on the trailer for this movie on now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUVqSCH8Fho
