Probably not objectively the worst movie I've seen, but Enemy at the Gates has been taken so literally by so many historically illiterate people that I've grown a burning hatred for the movie for basically slandering the entire Red Army and a few real people who were characters in the story. Kay and Skittles has a really good video on just how bad it is even beyond the "every other person gets a rifle" and "barrier troops gunning down retreating soldiers" shit.
Literally ending the movie on some bullshit about "people can never be equal" cause of some jack offs unrequited love or whatever. We watched this shit in one of my high school history classes.
I would love so much to see a modern remake of this film that was based on Vasily Zaitsev's firsthand account of the battle, rather than the pop historical one it ended up drawing most of its information from. Good luck getting it past American censors in the current political climate, though.
That was a great video. He spends like 5 straight minutes at the beginning just dropping hard truth bombs all over xenophobic liberal bullshit. Plus the reference to Shaun and his Japan atomic bombing debunkings video. Never knew about this channel until now, seems like an objectively good guy and a comrade. Gulag for everyone involved with the writing and "research" done for that pile of dreck.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
