It seems that Herr Thomas Kretschmann belongs to Stalingrad. Starting my comment with him, I got to say that he did his role very convincing and so did the other actors. However, after the announcements that this will be the most watched movie in Russian history, I expected more. Still, I think that the movie is kind of underrated. It can't get close to German 1993 Stalingrad which is a masterpiece, if you ask me, but it is still a very good movie. I loved the way the director shows the conflict between the Red Army and German Vermacht developing personal characters through it. Living closer to dying, depression, madness and unseen bravery. Four fathers of one boy just like four different pillars of one house and Russia is so unique house in deed. Good idea, good work, maybe the next time we'll be more impressed.
