Enemy at the Gates (2001)
More or less Russian propoganda piece
It's an entertaining war movie yes. But definitely Russia propoganda movie. Russians take on Germans and their tactics are very brutal, killing their own people in the back if they retreat, so it shows Stalin as bad guy and Russian commanders as bad guys.
But movie lacks a real punch besides lots of explosions and doesn't say anything important about politics that defined war against the Nazis. Or Russia just as bad as Nazis after defeating them. Jude Law is good, Ed Harris is good, acting is very good everywhere in the movie but just weak writing.
Someone should make this movie about Ukraine and Russia, the modern Enemy at the gates, everyone will watch !
Sniper. The White Raven (2022)
Too predictable and unrealistic
As a Ukrainian native I have been waiting for movies to come out about the current conflict and I have to say I am unsurprised that the first one is totally bad. Writers and directors didn't care, they wanted to make a buck with whatever they could come up with. Totally unrealistic, silly scenario, they just have a guy who stereotypical has wife and kid killed and now he wants revenge. And he all of a sudden goes from a nerdy teacher guy to he can build the gun and shoot it in ten seconds and kill everyone in the room. Totally unrealistic and boring, I would rather be in Bakhmut right now myself than to watch this terrible movie again. Do better Hollywood !
