Enemy At The GatesEnemy at the Gates is a movie directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud in 2001, adapted from a book written by William Craig which loosely described events surrounding World War II Soviet sniper Vasily Zaitsev and his German rival, Major Knig, during the battle of Stalingrad, 1942. The aim of the film is to describe the role of propaganda in both sides of the war, instumentalising the sniper-warfare as a metaphor of the fight of the two armies. The film was criticized both in Russia and in the West for taking considerable liberties with the facts; in both its plot and in the depictions of its characters (notably Fiennes' character, Danilov, and the German sniper Knig) it varies widely from the historical record. It met mixed box-office success. Tagline: A hero never chooses his destiny. His destiny chooses him. Main cast External links
