re: #409 Dark_Falcon

Yes, “Enemy at the Gates” is a very good movie.

I liked that one. I grew up around old men who’d fought at Stalingrad, so it was very interesting to me for that alone. I liked the way they showed the ethnic range of the Soviet forces, and the use of women as snipers.

Thought it was well done.

When the then-boyfriend and I went, we ran into a friend coming out of the last showing. He looked kind of frazzled. Told me that he’d been aware that there was a battle at Stalingrad, but he thought it lasted ‘couple of days, or a week or something’.
