Another NAZI Movie

 You wont believe there are so many Nazi movies available for viewing.

Let us have a review of ENEMY AT THE GATES. Starring Ed Harris, Jude Law, Rachael Weiz.

A Nazi officer (Ed Harris) traveled to Stalingrad to hunt and kill the famous Russian sniper (Jude law) who was hailed as hero by the Russian propaganda movement led by Joseph. In all the spying around Stalingrad, he had the help of a young boy Sacha (shoeshine boy or boots cleaner) who gives the Nazi officer some information about Russian sniper, the boy gets paid with bars of chocolates. While the Russian sniper had his soldiers supporting him in the war that includes his gf (Rachael Weiz) who is also a soldier. 

At first, the Nazi officer was enamored with the shoeshine boy Sacha until he got fed up with his double crossing him and revealing his whereabouts (railway station) that he hanged the boy for the Russians to see. What happened to Sacha was so tragic. He is a victim of circumstances and he doesn't really know what war is all about. He could saved his life if he just stayed with his mother and to never set his foot at the railway station. Despite of the unhappy circumstances, the Nazi officer was killed by the Russian sniper. It seemed that he was waiting for it to happen, he was waiting to be killed maybe he felt the remorse.

Anyway, did you watch the movie EMPIRE OF THE SUN? The war happened during World War II. The boy in that movie was also a shoeshine cleaner for the Japanese officer while they were inside the POW war camp. The privilege boy didn't die, survived until he was found by his mother. Christian Bale, the young boy in Empire Of the Sun. A very talented actor who was famous for the portrayal of Batman and the American PSYCHO.
