    Just a pity that the story is so heavily fictionalised.

    Great movie, lot of parallels with today, as in the conflict back then and the conflict now

    Yes I've seen it, it's very good. A sort of USSR Full Metal Jacket. I'll never forget the scene in boot camp of the tank driving over the lads lying in a trench. To say that you'd sh!t yourself is an understatement :eek:

    Definately, I really enjoyed the film until I read up about the incident. It was nothing like the desperate last stand that the film portrayed. There were a lot of casualties to be sure but nothing excessive and definately nothing like the massacre shown in the film.
