Dimitri and Reznov............
Such a great movie that the fountain scene inspired the mission Vendetta for COD World at War which was amazing
I got so much nostalgia from seeing that.
I was going to say the same exact thing
I didn’t know that scene was related to this movie tbh
Wait, this is based on a true story, so perhaps the fountain scene is historically accurate and both took inspiration separately.
Yaay
Seriously.. every time I watch, read or listen to historical stories on war my heart bleeds.. no matter the end, there is no glory in war.
Amen. Nobody wins really.
It's just those lucky enough to live and not know such unthinkable horrors.
You no this movie is basically a lie because in real life there weren't officers who is shooting men who were escaping because the soldiers when there because they wanted to protect that country and they also cross the river at night nobody died when they were crossing the river and come on the scene with a rifle shared between 3 people, that's a cap
the only ones who get the glory are the ones who win.
my dad told me when i was a kid "nobody wins in a fight" that stuck with me
even if you win and beat the other dudes ass you just ruin your day or two and walk away th8inking about it for a week.
its just a total waste of time
i dont got time for nothing.
Thanks, I watched this so many years ago and glad I found your channel to relive the experience.
This was a great movie, I remember seeing it when it came out many years ago. In real life Tania and Vasily thought each other to be dead after the events of the movie and somehow managed to never meet up again in their lifetimes..... life sucked before the internet.....
At the ending the narrator is not telling the truth... the guy sacrificing himself did not think that humanity isn't word saving...
he gave a speech how there can never be true communism, never equality, that men will always be man, there is no new man. There will always be rich and poor. Rich in gifts poor in gifts , rich in friends, poor in friends, rich in love, poor in love.
There was no talk about saving humanity. The talk was about how communism has failed and there will never be equality.

My great-grandfather's brother was a tanker and fought in Stalingrad. Too bad I can't find out more about him since his nephew (my grandfather) has died. All I know is that he received the Order of the Patriotic War, 2nd class, and a medal for bravery.
Both of my grandparents went to war and both parished never to return again
My grandfather bombed the Nazis from a B-24 Liberator. He never really spoke of it. He only ever told us two stories of his time in the Army Air Corps. He actually survived the war as a bomber crew member, something most men did not manage to achieve.
@@TehButterflyEffect Cool. Almost all of my male relatives fought until the 5th generation. My great-grandfather's brother, who fought in Stalingrad, was demobilized in 1946 with the rank of senior lieutenant of tank troops. My great-grandfather was a counterintelligence officer of the NKVD and fought in Warsaw, Prague, Berlin. He was in Berlin in 1945-1947. He has the Order of the Red Star. They both survived. My great-great-grandmother's brother also survived, but returned home wounded and crippled. He went to war when he was over 30 years old. He had gunshot and shrapnel wounds to his chest, abdomen, legs, and he was forced to walk on crutches all his life. He could also wake up at night and scream. My great-great-grandfather fought in WW1 in the artillery troops and in the Red Army during the Civil War. I also had a relative (I don’t remember whose brother) and he went to war at the age of 40 as a partisan. He hit a mine
@@TehButterflyEffect my grandfather fought for Nazi Germany, unfortunately he was killed as he was returning to Germany
Movies are fiction based on true events or a book....but all are drama for our entertainment.
Finally, Movie recap is also narrating little bit slower than usual and I love it. Before he used to narrate the movie way too fast, I used to get confused and irritated to listen and watch, instead of being entertained. So, I moved to Mystery Recapped. I thought mystery recapped was the oldest channel but I recently found out that it's most recent, new channel among all movie channels, just launched in 2021. But due to it's style of narration, that channel is addictive and growing way too fast. Well, though sometime I didn't enjoy movie recapped fast narattion but I know, it is very much loved movie channel. Now, it has become more entertaining and interesting than before, even for my taste of liking. I know, it's very hard than it looks and it needs lots of hard work, patience, effort, time, skill to edit and make viewers understand the whole video in just few mins. So, Thank you very much for ur time, hard work and effort for our entertainment. I really enjoyed this new style. Keep it up👍👏💖

Decent movie, but not without faults. The real life ending would have been better than the movie's Hollywood schlock. In reality, Vasily thought she died in Stalingrad and only found out when being interviewed by the author of "Enemy at the Gates" that she survived the war. They never saw each other again.

They actually both Married someone else. And they did reunite again in late 70s. Vasily died in 1991. don't know if Tania is alive. probably

I cannot even imagine any other actors playing in this film. All about the eyes in this story. Great Movie
That boat scene literally reminds me of "NOT ONE STEP BACKWARD COMRADES" , "VICTORY OR DEATH"
that entire saying is bs
Small detail they could’ve made, most German Infantry had bolt action rifles, not MP40s
Only nco squad commanders and fallschirmjaegers had them. But later during Stalingrad and after the mp-40s became more prevalent especially in assault squads.
@@akessel92train only 10% of Germans were equipped with mp40s at their peak.
Yes. But it's the more recognizable weapon associated with the Germans in WWII - so for a movie with time and budged constraints it's the better physical prop to convey the story. It's not accurate - making the movie a bad documentary, but for what it tries to be it's good enough.
This movie portrays attacks by literally unarmed soldiers and machine gun downing retreating troops, you really think too many MP40s in German hands is unhistorical lmao?
atleast someone in the comments knows history
This channel is showing me underrated and missed movies and I love it!
still to this day over a decade later i think back to that fountain mission and think its the coolest concept for a chapter of a campaign ever.

The fountain part reminds me of Call of Duty World At War when you meet Dimitri and Reznov in a fountain during Stalingrad
One of the things that annoyed me the most in this movie was the absolute exaggeration of Order 227 "No Step Back" (the summary execution of deserters). In the VAST majority of times, soldiers caught deserting were forced to attend penal battalions, punishment units that were made to perform exceptionally dangerous tasks such as clearing minefields and leading assaults. While executions did occur, the total number on the ENTIRE Eastern Front (1941-1945) was "only" a couple of ten thousand which may sound a lot...until you realize the death toll of all the battles in the Soviet Union frequently totalled in the millions.
TLDR: Executions of deserters did happen in the Soviet Union, but not as much as commonly portrayed in media, and DEFINITELY not to the extent in Enemy at the Gates.
Sort of. In the vast majority of circumstances Red Army soldiers were simply told to go back to the front, and the vast majority complied. Traumatised soldiers wandering back from the front line has happened in every war, the Red Army simply dealt with them in the way that every other army dealt with them: by telling them to go back. The absolute worst example of this in the movie is where the Russians have an MG that mows down deserters. The only recorded event anything like this was where a soldier fired an MG burst over the heads of retreating soldiers to scare them into fighting.
I would change the title he was not fighting against n@zis he was fighting against german soldiers, many of them were not n@zis but they must fight in the army its very important to see the different, a nice example is the battle of castle itter where german soldiers and americans fight against the ss (n@zis)
@@yaquvs8540 Why people are so desperate to clean up the image of the Wehrmacht, I will never understand. The Wehrmacht were involved with some of the worst war crimes of the war, introduced the oath of loyalty to Adolf Hitler on their own initiative, and were Nazi stooges despite being the largest armed faction in Germany and the only ones capable of overthrowing the Nazis. Fuck the Wehrmacht.
@@olivernorth7418 I think cus cold war propaganda that made people think that the Wehrmacht were clean, since they needed the people to support the army again

Btw the footage is from "Enemy at the gate" its really good. Some historical inaccuracies here and there. But good movie. Must watch.
The scene at the beginning were they're sniping from the fountain must've been the inspiration for the CoD World at War Mission "Vendetta"
Shout out the people who played Call Of Duty World at War back in the day (Not the newest one youngings), the first Soviet Mission recreates and pays homage to the Fountain Scene perfectly iykyk 😏😏
Legendary. Even had to shoot right when the shells dropped or you'd fail and have to restart.
Such a perfect mission one of the only really good sniper missions
They will get to know SGT. Reznov 😂
Only the ogs will know
the first russian mission for Call of Duty 1 pays homage aswell (the scene with the boat)
This has much of the story of Stalin's Lady Death, Pavlyuchenkova, with 309, was a rifle champion who took the gun from her fallen companion and started taking revenge for the terrible rape and murder she found when going to help at a retirement home. With a degree in history, she toured the west encouraging the US first lady to campaign to supply her fighters. She established the navy's sniper schools, having rewritten and condensed training publications, drawing thousands of women into the field with privligagese that recognised their importance and skills. Her training drew in orders and communications from downed officers, especially the highly decorated German head of their sniper school, whom she tracked and killed. His promotions and awards having killed over a hundred, caused her General to promote his lady Sargent, somewhat eventually to Colonal with Hero of the Soviet union. On her chest.

Realistically the sniper battle between them only lasted 3 days and he didn't even know who he'd shot. But that's Hollywood for you

The Germans definitely did not surrender in 1943. They may have withdrawn from the area...but still in the fight. The Americans didn't land in France until June of '44. Almost another year of fighting before the Soviets burned the Reichstag in Berlin in May of 1945.
It’s talking about surrendering the city. It’s context is framed around the battle of Stalingrad. So the ending is the ending of the battle.

The beginning of the story reminds me of that COD World at War mission when you are playing as Dimitri and Reznov in stalingrad armed with only one scoped mosin waking up in the fountain. I wonder if World at War got inspiration from this story for that mission

holy moly, this actually inspired call of duty to add in their game
fun fact polina is based off lady death 309 confirmed kills with a sniper
To be clear: the vast majority of this film is pure fiction.
It's based loosely on things that happened, and as far as depictions of the Battle of Stalingrad go, it's pretty decent, but most of the events that do transpire in the film never happened, and most of the characters either never existed or were changed so much they may as well have.
This is really good. No wonder you have 1.35M subs. Nice work my friend.
the fountain scene insipered the mission vendetta for cod world at war and the mission was good.
This reminds me of a guy named Jarman Cale who fought for a liberation army in Iraq. He had over 100 kills and disabled an estimate of 20-30 vehicles with metal piercing bullets. Very interesting guy, look him up some time.

And I also remember the scene where Vasili shot 5 German officers that is very similar to the Call of Duty World at War Vendetta. The theme song of this movie is my favorite too.

Russian veterans actually appealed to get the film banned.
@@ED-yy4te why, is that innacurate?
@@WEMBLEYNE The film depicts red army shooting comrades and charging mindlessly and weaponless is pure fiction. It must be offensive to the veterans.
@@WEMBLEYNE Yes, the movie completely slanders the red army. Painting them as cowardly mobs blindly thrown forward with no weapons only to be shot by their own side. None of this happened. The red army was a highly skilled, professional army, there were certainly ammo shortages in Stalingrad, but soldiers were never thrust forward in a suicide charge and gunned down. It was incredibly offensive to veterans. It doesn't even try to give credit to the soviets.
pretty good movie apart from the part when the officers shoot their own soldiers. never happened, the soviets did it just like most armies. for deserting, you were arrested. only 8 soldiers were executed for desertion in stalingrad. the 'one gun for every two men' also never happened in stalingrad, but did happen earlier in the war once or twice.

If they somehow ran out of Mosins which is nearly impossible, they had Lee Enfields, Lee Navies, Martinis, Berdans, Gras carbines, some in the millions like the Berdan.

not a sniper but he is badass, jump on top of a burning tank destroyer and used the M2HB and managed to capture a lot of Germans, it even sounds like a typical Hollywood cliche
Ironically there is evidence that the great 'Sniper Duel' at the end of the movie was made up by Vasily Zaytsev himself. There is no record of Eron Konig in any German military records from the time, and the only source of that name comes from Zaytsev memoirs. It is widely believed that Eron Konig was created by the Soviet Union as a means of boosting moral of their soldiers. Creating the legend of Zaytsev. So, the "Real Story !!" in the name of the video is technically a misrepresentation.
Correct. Most likely just propaganda but still a good story.

@@MrZachgonz Still, that is over 5 kills per day in -40 weather for 105 days. During Finnish winter when there is 4-5 hours of daylight.
Winter in Finnish forest is not all white. It is thick forest with brown, green and gray everywhere blended in with white snow.
very fun to watch movie but historically inaccurate
Dork
This film and Schindler's list and saving private Ryan are my top WW2 films that sum up all I need to know
now, load your rifle, but hold your fire.
wait until the bombers are directly overhead, the sound of the engines will drown out your shot.
man when that game dropped it was one of the greatest years of my life :)
This reminds me of the Call of Duty: Vangaurd campaign, chasing konig down through ruined apartment buildings.
Gameshare?👀 I kid I kid
Is the campaign better than the others?
@@XDariusCoultierX it’s pretty mid 7/10
Vanguard sucks. World at war is better
@@Helldiver5n23 AGREED, EXTREMELY AGREED.
Vasily Zaitsev. Greatest sniper of all time
Isn't it Simo Hayha aka white death who has 500+ kills with ironsight only ??
Simo was better
@@princesarma9273 No half of his kills were from submachine gun. 9n the other hand Ludmila and Vasily has only sniper counts.
@@artimuos903 well that's still 250 on sniper then
At the ending the narrator is not telling the truth... the guy sacrificing himself did not think that humanity isn't word saving...
he gave a speech how there can never be true communism, never equality, that men will always be man, there is no new man. There will always be rich and poor. Rich in gifts poor in gifts , rich in friends, poor in friends, rich in love, poor in love.
There was no talk about saving humanity. The talk was about how communism has failed and there will never be equality.
I've watched this movie 06 and I still want to watch this till get old 👍superb
its nostalgia of call of duty world game i still remeber that mission
Only real g’s will recognize when the guy hid in the fountain
