Stalingrad (1993)
We first want to get it out of the way that there are two films with the same title. Instead of the 2013 Russian propaganda film, we want you to focus on the 1993 German film that has been dubbed “one of the most accurate war films ever.” It showed the perspective of soldiers that failed on the mission to invade the titular Soviet city. The film did not hold back on showing violent scenes of corpses and the confusion of the soldiers. A lot of people also praised Germany for showing the losing side of this battle.
Lone Survivor (2013)
Lone Survivor was also based on a book with the same name. If you watch the film, you will learn about the story of four Navy SEALS who were posted in Afghanistan. After the Taliban attacked, the SEALs had to go through a life or death scenario. Even though it might look like it was dramatized, you should keep in mind that everything in the film happened. They really had to go down to cliffs to get away from the gunfire, and Mike Murphy gave up his life. Even the part where friendly villagers helped Marcus Luttrell was true!
