Title: A rarely seen angle of WWII . . .
Review: I love this movie. It is great to see Hollywood crank out a WWII movie set in the Soviet Union.The duel between two oposing snipers in the war becomes a perfect simile for the dynamic struggle of two countries, ideologies, and style of propaganda.Of course, there are complaints about its historical accuracy. As you can imagine, Hollywood is more bent on entertaining than educating. . . and as long as it doesn't grossly cross that line (i.e. Pearl Harbor) is a nice way to expose many people to the significant events of history.If you want perfect accounts of history, read a book... and anyway, I'm not even sure history authors tell the whole truths either.The biggest problem I had with the factual hiccups of this film is quite minor actually.... I find it rather silly that Russian soldiers speak with English accents.... and German soldiers with American ones...If you can get past that however, you'll love the beautiful scenery, the great sound and story.
