Thirteen Years was too short to get the point • • • • • (bewertet mit 5 von 5 Punkten)
This black&white picture deals mainly with the german armies on the eastern front- starting with all the glamour of third reich parades and the comradeship even in russia's tough winters - then finally collapsing into Stalingrad, the major breakdown of all hopes for a german victory...
Some of the acting from todays point of view seems melodramatic and the perspective towards General Paulus and other officers in high ranks is a lot different from how historians of the nineties would describe them. The movie gives an impression of a group of men, who keep fighting though they have already lost. I like the movie, still thirteen years was probably too short to get the point really...
