Not so entertaining anymore is it, well that is life. not everything is a fucking joke or a video for you to laugh at while you stare down at your phone while the fucking world goes by.. Here is a tip, look up kid.
Thats how it was in Stalins military though. He purged his officers over politics or strategic retreats. I dont defend Hitler, just saying he kept his professional Generals in charge. Thats how he got a thousand miles into Russia.
@@abeartheycallFozzy His best generals, or most effective ones rather, ignored him and even hated him for the most part and fell back on their own training and experience. Rommel for example. He was so good at what he did and so loved by the people that killing him outright would've caused a coup in Germany. They had to kill him off quietly.
I like it when he says "STALIN..grad" the stalin look-alike commissar is included in the shot. Khrushchev even glanced at him. The amount of detail on this movie is amazing.
@@gerardoramoncesarreynaldo9469 he had sadly passed away in 2014 of pneumonia 3 years before the death of stalin was made but he was great in this role
This has to be Bob Hoskins’ career best performance. He totally nails his role as Krushev in the opening sequence. “I have to report this to the Boss. Perhaps you would prefer to avoid the red tape...” Brilliant. Because the Red Army didn’t just shoot deserting soldiers, they shot a number of field generals and placed a lot more in their punishment battalions where life-expectancy was measured in the number of times they had to attack.
It's the way he introduces himself right after the Gunshot goes off. "My name, is Nikita, Sergeyevich, Krushchev..." You can tell he's not fking around at all.
This is my favorite scene of the whole film, fictional or not it catches all the moments in history when an organization, company, corporation or nation has been suffering defeat after defeat and tried to fix things by the stick and the lash, indeed, you can force people to go to work out of fear, but ultimately I can assure not a single human enterprise has ever managed to last long without a measure of hope given.
I think you underestimate the effect of Stalin's purging of the officer corp. He ignored Hitler's military buildup and thought he could sit out the war while the capitalists destroyed each other. He was preoccupied with political purity instead of military competency. As for the brutality of the NKVD, witness what they did to Soviet soldiers that had been captured and then released by the Germans. They shipped them off to the gulags. And, while the Soviets did deal with the brunt of Hitler's forces, the United States did the same in the Pacific against Japan. Stalin's main talent was the mass murder of people under Soviet control. Wasting lives to create the ideal socialist state was what the USSR was all about. I think that was the reality.
The Kulaks, Cossacks, Mongolians, Ukrainians, etc... probably did not feel like they were in a comic book. My point was that lives meant nothing to Stalin or Lenin in their desire to create a socialist state. They obviously also meant nothing to Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot or any other dictator you could name. I do agree that colonialism could be just as brutal as any dictatorship. The British probably killed and starved (directly or indirectly) more people than the Nazis or Soviets.
All very good points. I'm no historian, and I haven't seen the movie in its entirety since it came out, but the whole era has always interested/fascinated me. You may have already read it, but if not Stalingrad by Antony Beevor, an English historian, was a great read. Seemed to balance the military history side with the human side of the battle very well.
It didn't work very well Khrushchev in real life was more like how Bob Hoskins played him than a bumbling clown like in the Death of Stalin. These Communist party leaders were very intimidating.
@@cadenvanvalkenburg6718 What makes it even more crazy is that Hoskins looked more like Beria, just give him the glasses, a suit and files on everyone.
"Yes comrade, I know one." And it's such an inspiring and glorifying recommendation of Vasily. Totally earned in the eyes of the film-watchers. You can stand totally independent of loyalty and nationality and watch Enemy at the Gates and at least understand the plight of the soldiers there. And trust me, all nationalities of soldiers have been there, thrown into the lion's den. My hope is that one day we rise above such large-scale wars, and try to find understanding and compromise instead of war. At this point, all we have is us for intelligent civilization: we have a lot more in common than we do in disagreement.
In the book Stalingrad the author Antony Beevor interviewed Soviet soldiers who fought in the city. Beevor was surprised that they described how open the discussions were in the trenches, and that all were loyal to their nation and thought that things should change after the war. It also did, when Chrustjev started criticizing the Stalin cult.
The reason behind this is that the soviet soldiers weren't actually used like cannon fodder like in Beevors works, or should I say propaganda peices, and in this movie. They were like any other army.
I’m always curious what a Soviet soldiers mindset was. Did they hate Stalin and recognize he was doing evil things or were they blindly patriotic. Obviously I know Zhukov didn’t like stalin and Stalin was afraid of Zhukov after the war and got him demoted after the war
I like how he acts a little hopeful, but still skeptical, judging what he has just seen, dealing with a perceived weak general and hearing that shaky comissar.... "Do you know any heroes around here?"
He was also the only person to have a sound mind in the Russian high command about the Winter War. After Stalin's death he tried to get the true numbers of how many Russians died in the war and even as Premier he still could never get a straight answer.
Hank Hill my favourite Khrushchev moment is when he went into a furious rant in LA because they cancelled his trip to Disneyland due to concerns for his safety.
He's not dead. The man who died was Rob Hoskins, also an actor but less well known. The AP reported the death incorrectly as being Bob Hoskins and every other media outlet ran with it.
Us indeed attacked the bay of pigs in Cuba. Elite American forces were then destroyed and captured. Cubans being seasoned veterans made the Americans look weak for a moment. But trainings mean nothing; only actual fights do.
He was a mass murderer with unlimited license to kill. One his word and all those bastards in front of him (who all - btw - deserved to be shot on spot) would end with bullets in their heads.
What he meant is that Russians in their entire history have fought with a defensive mindset against all odds. For centuries it really was a Russian generals “sacred duty to resist.” Russia a is a nation that has withheld many invasions and survived.
Let's say that on the one hand Russia had the "natural defense" of the harsh climate during the winter, while on the other it had a disproportionate number of men.
Reminds me of the game we played as children, you say something like "MOM" very loud and laugh at who gets scared, who "is scared of his mom". Maybe he wanted to check that he fears balls and isn't a homosexual?
@@reginaldpasao8390 Uh.... it's actually the reverse. The T-34 formed the brunt of the Red Army's Armor, and it was superior to Panzer III, the main Wehrmacht tank. Panzer IV was initially limited to Infantry Support roles only. After the Panzer III's poor performance against the T-34, the Panzer IV was upgraded to become the main Medium Tank and Panzer III was relegated to the support roles.
yep stalin is a bit easier to pronounce... its good for english speaking movies that stalin changed his name and didnt keep the name he was born with. imagine how would they try to pronounce than
Stalin was responsible for the first disastrous months of war in the east, by executing capable staff officers your going to cause a collapse of army morale, replace them with "yes" men Futhermore, ignoring your own intelligence and allies of an invasion doesn't help.
Bob Hoskins, RIP. A great actor who will be surely missed. That said Nikita Khrushchev is portrayed poorly in the film, he was not as black as he is painted, he certainly was not another Stalin
Cowardice was hardly a problem. Executing most of the experienced officer corps and putting commissars in charge was. In fact the average soviet soldier was far more likely to resist under tough circumstances than any other allied soldier. Implying that Russians lack balls in general is kind of a ridiculous.

Christian Beck or maybe like a boss of a factory or workplace cuz they’re communists
I think it makes him sound more baddass
@Christian Beck he was literally referred to as Vozhd' which can be translated as boss or leader.
Stalinism meant that everybody's boss was Stalin. His framed picture was in every home and workplace.
In Bob Hoskins deep voice.

Blows me away that Bob Hoskins literally do looked like the original Khrushchev.
After watching Steve Buscemi portray Khrushchev, I find it hard for me to envision no other person.
I thought he look nothing like the real Khrushchev. Hoskins really had the statue and energy of him.
May not be accurate, but damn it was a good, well written and well acted movie.
