Stalingrado / Stalingrad / parte 1 de 14 (idioma ingles, subtitulos en español)

The film begins with a group of German assault engineers enjoying leave in Italy after returning from combat deployment in North Africa. An awards ceremony is announced by a band playing the song supposed to call soldiers to attention. Some soldiers are late from having to carry "Lupo", the Lieutenant wounded in North Africa, to the ceremony. The three main characters are introduced at the awards ceremony: Leutnant von Witzland, the inexperienced and idealistic platoon leader; Unteroffizier "Rollo" Rohleder, who is refused his decoration when he arrives on parade with an unbuttoned tunic collar, and Obergefreiter Fritz "Fritzi" Reiser, whose tendency to direct talk is made evident. Although this film contradicts what most people think of Nazi soldiers, Rollo fits this stereotype perfectly well- A fanatical, die-hard believer who is willing to fight to the death and is hungry for medals. As the parade ends, the main officer in charge gives a speech, telling them that they are the best, and never to forget that. The group is dismissed and advised their unit has been ordered to the Eastern Front...
The train passes through the small Italian coastal town, where the soldiers wave to the people, and Fritz waves to "Viola", his Italian girlfriend. As it passes into the tunnel, the scene changes to the train being far in Russia, where the men are playing cards, talking, relaxing, and one is even eating while shaving. Leutnant Von Witland writes to "Clara", his wife. As the train passes Russian laborers working in the fields, the men cheer and talk about what they will do after the war. Rollo asks Von Witzland if this is his first time to the front, and Von Witzland replies "everyone must start somewhere". Rollo bets Von Witzland two cans of water that he will survive and the Lieutenant will not. Soldiers continue to talk. The train arrives just outside of Stalingrad, which is busy, where German armored half-tracks, trucks, and horse carriages carry soldiers about, and officers talk.
When the soldiers arrive at this busy place on the outskirts of Stalingrad, it is evening and it is raining. They pass some of the soldiers seriously wounded in the fighting, as well as walls and buildings with graffiti on them. They also pass a column of Russian POWs who are being berated and beaten by German field police. When one of the POWs almost collapses and tries to hold onto a guard's shoulder for support, the guard knees him in the belly, throws him to the ground, and continues beating him. Leutnant von Witzland, observing the gruesome spectacle, slips out of line and tries to stop the beating but is knocked down. As he looks on, the prostrate POW is beaten to death. Witzland gets up and protests to captain Haller, the Feldgendarmarie captain. The captain responds: "You wish to protest? Tell the Fuhrer." He then walks off, laughing cruelly.

Esta pelicula originalmente esta en aleman, no? Que lastima que este doblada al ingles :(

[oscarello1]

@LoverGrr si, una pena. Es la que tenia. Es una version digitalizada de una vieja cinta VHS. De teber hoy el dvd en aleman la subiria de nuevo.

[80tecno3]

La peli no está mal pero es de las que se queda uno con la sensación de que se podría haber hecho mcho mejor.

[oscarello1]

@80tecno3 este film fue hecho por alemanes a principios de los 90. Obviamente carece del toque Hollywood en cuanto a efectos pero a mi juicio esa falencia de producción no desmerece la calidad de la pelicula.

[oscarello1]

@oscarello1 no me refería a los efectos tipo hollywood sino a las interpretaciones de algunos de los actores y al montaje final.
