neutral · AI labelView post →I was so mad at Enemy At The Gates that I wanted to leave the theater but couldn't because a friend drove me there. I can't remember why I hated it but I was in film school at the time so was at the height of my insufferable "I'm a critic" powers.
negative · AI labelView post →Tonight's film Enemy at the Gates (2001)
neutral · AI labelView post →Darkly hilarious that just as Serious Historians had managed to convince most people that scenes like ones in the Enemy at the Gates movie (“man with the rifle shoots”) didn’t really happen, the Russian Army went “hold my vodka”.
neutral · AI labelView post →A WWII movie about a WEIRD TALES writer drafted to the front lines, Enemy at the Gates of the Silver Key.
neutral · AI labelView post →I've understood that this has generated some controversy, especially after that scene in the movie Enemy at the Gates ("The one with the rifle shoots, the one with the ammo follows, when the one with the rifle is killed, the one with the ammo picks up the rifle!"). www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUQh...
neutral · AI labelView post →And the weird thing about this "Russian way of war" is that it seems to be a recent fabrication, as if they learnt war from the 2001 film, "Enemy at the Gates," which has nothing to do with how the Red Army actually fought WWII. Stalin would find today's Russian army to be brutal and wasteful.
neutral · AI labelView post →Enemy at the Gates is a superb film.
positive · AI labelView post →Just went upstairs to find my grandpa watching a movie. The screen featured what appeared to be a POV of a sniper scope and I asked “is this Enemy at the Gates?” He responded “how the hell did you know that!?” Eventually I’ll have to try to explain what the movie gets wrong about the actual history
neutral · AI labelView post →Erratum: the movie and book about KKR is Barbarians at the Gate, not Enemy at the Gates which is about Stalingrad. I recommend both https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbarians_at_the_Gate_(film)
neutral · AI labelView post →This is the worst sex scene in film since Enemy at the Gates. Watch better porn, director of Blood Surf. #FrightClub #bloodsurf
neutral · AI labelView post →I would legitimately lose sleep thinking about that one teenager I worked with 11 years ago at the movie theater who actually tried to tell me that Enemy at the Gates was really how it all was on the Eastern Front, but then I remember that the marketing for it looks like this and I snore laughing:
neutral · AI labelView post →Not necessarily 'a lot' in the movie, but Enemy at the Gates is quite enjoyable
positive · AI labelView post →I call this the Enemy At The Gates effect. The Easten Front in WW2, unlike what was depicted in that film, was around 1.5:1 or 2:1 at most.
neutral · AI labelView post →So KKR has bought Simon & Schuster for £$1.62 billion. Three things to note here: 1. KKR is the company that disastrously and hilariously bought RJR Nabisco, detailed in the book and film Enemy At The Gates. More recently they also bought and bankrupted Toys R Us. (1/2)
neutral · AI labelView post →No, COD 2. Heavily based on Enemy at the Gates. The games took a lot from movies like that. I don't think the "first man gets the rifle, second man gets the ammo" was actually a practice IRL. They definitely shot anyone who shied from battle though.
neutral · AI labelView post →>Good old Soviet doctrine! Lol you got everything you think you know about Russia from watching *Enemy at the Gates* and you think you know more about it's military tactics than the people studying them. >I’d rather a robot blow up than a Ukrainian hero I'd rather have the manpower to actually hold positions rather than having to leave robots laying around to be easily jammed, flanked and captured but that's just me. >untrained, toothless Russian meat being fed to the grinder. Nevermind,…
neutral · AI labelView post →Enemy at the Gates (2001) i think this might be the most pro-Soviet film ever produced in the West?
neutral · AI labelView post →I mean, I could just watch Enemy At The Gates again, which isn't any morally better than any other war movie, but does have really good actors and a much more compelling set of bad guys to kill.
positive · AI labelView post →Huh. I haven't seen a picture of Khrushchev recently, but I rewatched Enemy at the Gates the other day, and I guess Bob Hoskins did a surprisingly accurate portrayal (with kudos to the makeup department, too).
neutral · AI labelView post →dam busters of course and I think the one about stalingrad, Enemy at the Gates, I put dad on to a film about a WWI soldier with Philippe Noiret, Life and Nothing but..I think that deeply effected him.
neutral · AI labelView post →Ron Perlman - 📽️ Enemy at the Gates (Jean-Jacques Annaud, 2001) Famously, the action is better than the talk in this WWII sniper movie. The character who pops most is Perlman’s all too brief tactical genius Koulikov. Him training Jude Law to evade Ed Harris is the film’s peak tension and character.
neutral · AI labelView post →Enemy At the Gates is absolute horseshit for this. The entire fucking film is garbage.
negative · AI labelView post →I played a bit of CoD: World At War now. The start was more or less what I expected: Medal of Honor on a grander scale. Fun, but not too interesting. As a big fan of the movie Enemy At The Gates, the Russian campaign was a lot more interesting already. Also, Gary Oldman. 🤘🏻
neutral · AI labelView post →Pick one movie, keep one actor, the rest are muppets. Enemy At The Gates, keep Rachel Weisz
neutral · AI labelView post →I like to joke about how random the selection process for 4K restorations/discs feels, but it's honestly very charming to find out that a seemingly-forgotten movie like ENEMY AT THE GATES or whatever actually has many passionate fans, who are so happy to see it in an ideal format :)
neutral · AI labelView post →From PARAMOUNT, I got three recently released 4Ks! Robert Altman's POPEYE (1980), and THE SAINT (1997) and ENEMY AT THE GATES (2001) 4K Steelbooks (I think THE SAINT actually came out this week...) Thoughts on each film will follow below as usual!
neutral · AI labelView post →Yeah, absolutely. The GWOT drone campaigns might have been a bit like an office job with extra murder, but a drone movie set in Ukraine would/should be spiritually closer to things like the sniper combat in Enemy at the Gates. Hopefully with better research than Enemy at the Gates.
neutral · AI labelView post →Huh. I haven't seen Enemy at the Gates in a long time, guess I should rewatch. But yeah I post that pic pretty frequently on Lemmy weird you haven't seen it before but I guess Fediverse is wider than I think.
neutral · AI labelView post →If they got gun fights, explosions, car chases, or fist fights I'm in. Of course most war movies and westerns fit. But stuff like Pearl Habour, Enemy at the Gates, Saving Private Ryan, Black Hawk Down and not things like Hunt for the Red October or U-571. I think the only kind of war movie about subs I like is McHale's Navy... Which is a comedy. 🤣
neutral · AI labelView post →Prepping for Skeleton Crew by watching my favorite Jude Law movie, Enemy at the Gates
positive · AI labelView post →I just purchased his multi-volume on Stalingrad. We did a “virtual staff ride” with Army University Press and I’ve been wanting to learn more about that battle and the Eastern Front ever since. Also learned that Glantz thought “Enemy at the Gates” was an appropriate film depiction of Stalingrad.
neutral · AI labelView post →In the film Enemy at the Gates all Russian characters were played by English actors, while all the Germans were played by Americans. This creates a sense of cultural consistency, letting one accent stand in for a different nationality. Similarly, in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World--
neutral · AI labelView post →since Horner reminds me that the soundtrack for Enemy at the Gates was far better than (what I've now seen of) the movie, it's time to take a break and listen to Schostakovich for a bit youtu.be/_XGzcxTma1g
negative · AI labelView post →has any other single movie ever done as much to completely corrupt American understanding of a historical event as Enemy at the Gates did for Stalingrad? this is a serious question. like you can tie all the WW2 rhetoric about "endless waves of Soviet troops" pretty much directly to this film
neutral · AI labelView post →man the poster for Enemy At The Gates really does look like those dudes are gonna bang at some point in the film
neutral · AI labelView post →"Enemy at the Gates" was a quite decent US film about Russian snipers in Soviet defense of Stalingrad.
positive · AI labelView post →I think my worst first date movie was Enemy at the Gates
negative · AI labelView post →oh 1917 is very good!!! and definitely check out the others - there are some hard parts in Fury but it's one of my faves. Enemy at the Gates has Rachel Weiss and she's gorgeous so it's a perfect movie on that alone 😂
positive · AI labelView post →I don't blame you. I had friends who could. Movie violence isn't bad for me, but when it's that realistic? I can't. Historical War movies are a no for me with the exception of Enemy at the Gates.
positive · AI labelView post →Stalin's war. "Enemy at the Gates" movie made it look a lot more pleasant that it was, tbh.
negative · AI labelView post →you know what movie I watched when I was like 15 and I thought it was awesome and I’ve never heard anyone mention it ever again? ENEMY AT THE GATES
positive · AI labelView post →Yep, and he's the reason COD even EXISTS. Infinity Ward was formed by people who worked on Medal of Honor: Allied Assault...and COD has taken inspiration from him at times (and although not a Spielberg film, Enemy at the Gates).
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh for fuck's sake. That's simply... false. It's an scene taken from a movie. It never happened. 'Enemy at the Gates' has so much to ask for.
neutral · AI labelView post →Enemy at The Gates was a good movie. I should rewatch that again tbh. I need to see a movie NOW.
positive · AI labelView post →Anybody watched the movie “Enemy at the Gates?” I know it’s fiction, but it does show a mindset.
neutral · AI labelView post →Check out Enemy at the Gates (2001) — a gripping film based on real events during the battle, focusing on the sniper duel between Vasily Zaitsev and a German marksman. 🔗 IMDb: www.imdb.com/title/tt0215...
neutral · AI labelView post →A favourite, lesser-known film with a title that starts with the letter “E" #filmsky Enemy At The Gates (2001) - maybe not lesser-known, but I am often surprised by how few people have heard of this

neutral · AI labelView post →Enemy at the Gates is a Christmas movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Watch "Enemy at the Gates" yes it's a Hollywood movie. The 1st battle scene, where every 2nd man gets no weapon, only ammunition is true. The scene where the russian conscripts realize the charge against the Germans is death, so they try and run back to their lines and get shot by russians. Is true.
neutral · AI labelView post →Using MOVIE as an acronym, recommend 5 films: Mad Max: Fury Road Ong-Bak Venom In the Army Now Enemy at the Gates (Telling on myself a bit here lol)
neutral · AI labelView post →Enemy at the Gates is old-fashioned, historically dubious, overly melodramatic... and still a cracking sniper movie, but is Paramount's US-only 4K worth an import? www.avforums.com/reviews/enem... #4KUHD #4KUltraHD #FilmSky
neutral · AI labelView post →oh gawd the worst first date movie I ever did was... we'd wandered around the park and the walked to the cheap theatre to go see a movie and what was showing was Enemy at the Gates (I mean with the right person could have been good) but she was heavily involved in her Catholic youth group lol
neutral · AI labelView post →This is from the first Call of Duty game and they took this from the movie Enemy at the Gates. The Red Army at Stalingrad did not do this yet it's a myth that persists because of stuff like this. www.youtube.com/shorts/eFZz8...

neutral · AI labelView post →Re: the Odyssey accents thing, I do still think one of the funnier instances of saying fuck it on what accents would be used was the movie Enemy At The Gates. Jude Law, Ron Perlman and Joseph Fiennes play Russians (English accents) and Ed Harris plays a German (American accent)
neutral · AI labelView post →Lol, interestingly, they wrote Take Me Out after seeing Enemy At The Gates, a mediocre movie version of the novel War The Rats about a Nazi and Soviet sniper squaring off in Stalingrad which decided to make everyone British, for some reason.
