I thought the problem was that it portrayed the russian military too harshly? IE cold war propaganda

Even if you get past all this it's still a terrible movie that only has Harris and Perlman going for it.

ive never seen the movie but im pretty sure human wave tactics were an actual thing the russians used

I've never seen a movie stray so far away from its source book

Where did everybody come up with the whole human wave tactic anyway?
>>28276031
They were, but the "give one guy a gun and the next a clip" never happened, not there anyway.

I figured as much. Still gonna go through with it, but I've been looking at other options in case it doesn't work out. I love history and I feel like SOMEONE needs to push back against the BS.
>>28276114
...And this is my biggest concern. I'm not /pol/ by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm depressed by the rapidly growing influence of SJWs in higher education. But then, that's why I'm trying to push back.

you fucking bet its /k/ approved!
its so /k/ you get a free copy when you buy a scoped Mosin from Mitchell's Mausers
go ahead and tell me whats not /k/ about that

The book most definitely is. The movie, not so much.
>>28276032
In fairness there was only 2-3 pages in the book that dealt with the story the movie told.
>Soviet human wave tactics
>Hundreds of Soviet records indicating casualties after waves
>Testimony of survivors and former commissars
>Photos of human wave carnage
>Black and white 8mm films of human waves
>REEEEE THOSE NEVER HAPPENED ALL WETSERN PROPAGANDA SOVIET ARMY WAS GLORIOUS FORCE OF FREEDOM AND BRAVERY!
Man I've even talked to slavic retards who claim conscription in the Soviet army never existed either.
>Everyone was a proud volunteer, comrade. :^)
>>28276293
russians sit right there on the podium of shitposting next to the australians and brits
I used to love my mosin as my first rifle until I started seeing how retarded slavaboos behave when anyone says anything negative about the USSR. Now I'm worried people will think I'm one of them and wish I'd gotten a Mauser or something instead.
>>28276349
Yeah, but then you have to deal with Krautaboos going nuts any time someone suggests that Germany wasn't military perfection.
Basically, you're screwed the second you get involved in an Internet discussion, because most people are ridiculously defensive.
>>28276349
Mauser-action partisan here: Frig what other people think. Your Mosin is a valuable tool and a genuine piece of history. Treat it as such.
Rachel Weisz's ass though
>>28276031
>>28276053
Russians hate this movie because it raises political and military issues that they find embarrassing.
And, yes, it's only very very loosely based on actual history. It's not clear that the germans ever sent their lead sniper to stalingrad at all.
Human wave tactics as shown were a real thing, but mostly only in the penal battalions. So yes you could say that what was pictured did happen, in which case no context was given and it was portrayed deceptively. Or you could say that they made the whole thing up based on history memes, in which case you'd put an asterisk on it and note that actually the scene wasn't totally fake.
It's still a great movie. Just don't expect too much from it.
>>28276098
Actual professor here. You're in for a world of hurt.
Assuming you're accepted to a doctoral program, you have 4-6 years of studying and writing ahead of you. In many programs, you aren't allowed to hold outside employment as a condition of your acceptance.
When you're done, the ratio of tenure-track jobs to graduates is about 50 to 1. That means, in all likelihood, unless you're a top performer AND at a top national university, you'll be teaching high school or mixing my chai lattes.
And the prize if you get a tenure track job? 6 years before you get tenure, during which you have to publish like a madman. At least you're finally paid, right? Yeah, go look up salaries. In many states it's public record. You'll be making less than a competent plumber or the starting salary for most jobs in business or engineering.
A professorship in the physical sciences is even worse. After you finish your doctorate but before you can even apply for a tenure track job, you have to take a 6 year postdoc, when you're working minimum wage doing a professor's work. THEN you go for one of those tenure track positions that 98% of applicants will never get. And if you do somehow get a tenure track job, you'll be writing grant applications for the rest of your life, surviving paycheck to paycheck funding your research from federal grants. If one of your theories doesn't pan out, then you might lose your funding and quite possibly your job.
There are a few professorships that pay well. Economists, b-school professors, and law school scholars. Econ and business require a ton of math; law school is its own mess to find work teaching in.
Seriously, unless you're a superstar-- stand out among doctoral students, mind you-- keep history as a hobby and learn to be a skilled plumber, welder, or machinist.
The bolt handle is on the wrong side of the weapon in the poster
>>28276199
Yeah as a conservative academic, it's a real pain in the ass. People can fuck your life and not leave any fingerprints. You really have to know how to keep your mouth shut and take it. Remember, if you plan on Changing the World, you have 12 years minimum during which you can't say a fucking word before you get tenure and are safe. And if you've read the news, even tenure won't save you if you commit some racist atrocity. Like a politely worded email about halloween costumes. Or not voting to serve fried chicken in the cafeteria.
If they figure out that you're a conservative before you have tenure, then you'll be teaching high school in no time. Tenure is awarded by a university-wide faculty committee. I've seen people with solid publication records fucked on tenure out of spite, or just so a professor in another college can make a point.
Muh academic freedom does NOT apply when you aren't espousing marxism.
>>28276416
Stalingrad sex scenes. Absolutely fucking intense. Gives new meaning to the phrase "meat grinder".
>>28277753
No they weren't, penal battalions were lightly armed, but they still had weapons.
Fuck off you uninformed piece of shit.
At least read basic books about the subject (pic related is a good start).
>>28276031
No, not human wave, they had weapons unlike that shit film.
>>28277858
>Actual professor
No one cares about community college Earl.

I liked it
I read the book long before the movie came out and liked the book a lot. Movies are never as good but I understand this, the movie was pretty gud imo
>>28275840
Of courshe.

Read the book. Burn the movie.

>>28276293
This tbqh, slavaboos are worse than naziboos
>>28276043
Propaganda derived from a misunderstanding of the Deep Battle doctrine probably. Oh, and maybe as an explanation for the massive casualties because people couldn't conceive/ didn't want to believe the eastern front was worse than the western.
>>28275824
are left hand nuggets a thing?
>>28279467
No, but reversed images are.
>>28279494
ok, that's what I thought....
The movie was OKAY but the story is and was war propaganda
>>28275824
Watched The Revenant this morning (thnx prompfile), breddy gud, beautiful cinematography.
Then "The Hateful Eight" afterwards. Sort of a cross between Pulp Fiction and Ravenous. It was entertaining.
>>28279592
forgot pic, also great horse chase scene, and Leo got the fuck mauled out of him by a Griz, which made my waifu laugh out loud.

>NO SHUT UP WE WON WE WON WE WON

>>28279592
The Revenant was cool but from what I've seen its inaccurate as all fuckity fuck, and the bear scene was just embarrassing the bear CGI was on screen for like 4 minutes.
Hateful Eight was pretty comfy and entertaining but extremely predictable somehow, I say somehow because it tried to hide it so fucking hard to it doesn't accomplish anything on the *x hours before* chapter but still really good and fun, would watch again and again.
>>28276293
There's a difference between sending in armed soldiers and unarmed children, which is what the movie seems to imply.
Grow up faggot.
>>28281951
>Unarmed children
>17-20 year old rapists and inbred collective farmers with shitty bolt-actions
FTFY
>>28275824
No.
>>28276144
Ron pearlman had a brirish accent like an east ender to mock the other brit actirs who couldn't be assed to try or the lazy director not enforcing it.
Also, you know Ron learned french for an early movie he did in his youth?
>>28282794
>Ron pearlman had a brirish accen
It really didnt work, if anything making the argument against trying to do accents.
Neither did whatever Bob Hoskins was trying to do with his voice work. And Ed Harris made no attempt along with the rest.
