For the assigned blog I watched Enemy at the Gates. The movie takes place during the battle of Stalingrad. The film covers the fight between two snipers, one Russian, and one German. The Russian, Vassili Zaitsev, has much success picking of numerous German officers and rogue soldiers. This deals a significant blow to the German army's morale. Meanwhile, Vassili's political officer publishes his efforts in an attempt to improve the morale of his own army. The Germans eventually call in their own master sniper to counter Vassili. The winner between the two may as well decide who controls the city.
This is one of my personal favorite WW2 movies. I feel the battle scenes are very well depicted, especially at the beginning win they are charging into Stalingrad, some with no weapons. The final portion of the film, the sniper duel, is one of the more entertaining sequences in any war movie. I'm no expert, but I can't seem to find very many faults within the film. Therefore, I give it a 9/10.

Well done! Perhaps a bit brief overall but good.
