 "Stalingrad is a good anti-war and anti-militarist film, which doesn’t justify all the violence but shows war from multiple perspectives."

 Vilsmaier shows scenes of extreme violence without hesitation, which have nothing to envy to films like Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan.

Joseph Vilsmaier's Stalingrad depicts the brutal reality of the 1942 battle through the eyes of disillusioned German soldiers. The film emphasizes psychological struggles over historical accuracy, paying homage to Sven Hassel's war narratives. Though technically imperfect and sometimes slow, its raw portrayal of war's futility and anonymity makes it a worthy anti-war film. It stands out by refusing to justify violence, offering a nuanced perspective of soldiers caught in militarism. Discover the raw and powerful truths of war—watch Stalingrad and explore its intense anti-war message now.
