He stole the film in my opinion, then again I tend to find in films where he plays the bad-guys, he is just so much more admirable and likable than the protagonists.
"Enemy at the gates" a fine movie, with realist war images and fight scenes. Ed Harris was brilliant as König. He portrayed a professional character. I liked him the mostly.
I just bought a pair of the gloves he's wearing! They're real leather, and really nice! I thought they were from maybe the 60s, not WWII! Now I've got the Nazi gloves, the soviet rifle, and a bayonet from Vietnam. What's next?
I loved the movie and Ed Harris's acting even though the movie was largely fiction. The Ron Perlman character wasn't killed when helping Zaitsez, and the political officer Danilove was wounded trying to point out the German super sniper -- named Hans Thorvald (sp) -- not killed. I watched that movie several times. The portrayal of Kruschev was priceless!
haha I liked what he said about the character not being a nazi, being an aristocrat, and coming to shoot one man and then leave to go train others. Basically the guy is professional.

I believe the left one typically denoted the soldiers rank and the right collar patch had the rune SS. Then there was a black piping with white trim that was worn on the epaulets. Either this is a mistake by
@FDNY612 Anyone who studies WW2 history could tell you that it would be rare for any front line SS sniper to wear the Waffen-SS uniform, It would mean a very painful death if they were to be taken alive. So they did a fine job with that detail i think.
a nice person and a good actor...but not a convincing sniper.
(caught snipers get gutted by the opponent troops, so how do you think ordinary troopers look at their own snipers ?.... would you share food in the canteen with jack the ripper if he were to sit next to you ?..snipers = solitary men)
@Frederik5495 haha thats because alot of white people in america come from Britan and Germany. those were the "desirable" peoples back during the early waves of immigration to the US.
