It's a good story, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the US other than equipment maybe.

Passchendaele was a decent movie as long as you didn't go into it with expectations of non stop battle scenes. It is a character drama first. The battle scenes are very well done though and capture a lot of the hell that would have been that battle if not all of WWI.
Back on topic, HBO and movie channels are now active for the next few months. (Also of note Passchendaele was on one of the movie channels that comes with HBO.)

What do you mean Stalingrad scene? The entire movie is in Stalingrad.
Passchedaele wasn't very good, and I didn't think that it did a good job showing the hell of the first world war at all. The battle scene lasts maybe 20 minutes at most and it's pretty ridiculous. I'm dead serious that someone needs to make Three Day Road into a movie. Such an amazing story based on reality.
