RE: I won't say I wept

Since I finished watching the film, I can't stop thinking about it and its characters and situations. I also read some critical articles on it, which I invite anyone interested to do also.

Just a couple of points here... one - Grossman draws direct parallel between nazism and communism. Among the Russians whom I know, this is the subject of endless discussion. I, for one, totally agree with Grossman, that the two systems were basically the result of the same ideology.

The other interesting point concerns the result of the battle - instead of the frequently presented beginning of liberation, to Grossman (I agree with him here too) it was the conclusion of total enslaving of the soviet people.

After the battle power of Stalin and his henchmen, their grip on the population, have reached their pinnacle.

The film leaves out some significant chapters, those dealaing with the German concentration camps. These are also incredibly important, but perhaps were edited due to the overall size of the work.
