Cross of Iron
Cross of Iron
It is 1943, and the German army—ravaged and demoralised—is hastily retreating from the Russian front. In the midst of the madness, conflict brews between the aristocratic yet ultimately pusillanimous Captain Stransky and the courageous Corporal Steiner. Stransky is the only man who believes that the Third Reich is still vastly superior to the Russian army. However, within his pompous persona lies a quivering coward who longs for the Iron Cross so that he can return to Berlin a hero. Steiner, on the other hand is cynical, defiantly non-conformist and more concerned with the safety of his own men rather than the horde of military decorations offered to him by his superiors.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

This movie has had to restrain itself from showing the true level of German atrocities in Belarus and Russia, in order not to be distracting. But what is shown is enough, and the movie is beautifully done. The director did not make any more movies because he said everything he wanted to say.This is war movie like no other. If you want to understand what happened, this is a must see. There are so many movies about Holocaust, but the level of suffering on the Eastern front is unfortunately for political reasons severely underplayed in the West. 20 million Russian and Soviet civilians died from the Nazi hand. The decency with which this movie tells the truth about the war is really worthy of greatest respect. There is not a second that is fake in this movie, it is pure, distilled soul of the Soviet people and their struggle against Hitler. If you want substance, look no further. There has been no other movie like this.

1943, German-occupied Belarus. A teenage boy, Florya, joins the partisans and expects a life of duty and adventure. Little prepares him for the terror and brutality he will witness.Power, brutal WW2 drama. Shows the horror of war - certainly not your average glamour-and-glory WW2 movie. In particular, demonstrates well the atrocities the Germans, and the SS especially, inflicted on Russian civilians in WW2.Not perfect though. Starts in haphazard style, with plot developments that sometimes don't make sense or seem random. Some of the acting can be a bit hammy at times too. However, from a point the movie finds its focus and from then on it is a relentless, gritty, tension-filled ride.

Greetings from Lithuania."Come and See" (1985) is a powerful, brutal and unforgiving take on a WW2. This movie, more like experience left me speechless and angry. Angry on humanity itself. Its unthinkable to see these things that happened, and they did happen. Overall, "Come and See" is a bold and mesmerizing experience. It literally transported me to the place and time, in which i did not want to be. You can only witness it from outside and still feel anger. It shows you humanity on its knees, in its darkest times. It shows you what human can do to another human, only to call some of them human is a disgrace to human race. Great movie.

If you think A monkey throwing paint at a blank canvas is art of the highest order, you will adore this movie. If however, you have higher standards (assuming you have objective standards) you will be absolutely frustrated with this movie which drags on and on and on. In an unintentional way, this film is very fitting of the Soviet, 1984ish genre. It feels like it was made by a Soviet Politburo's child shooting his first movie. Where everyone knows it stinks, but must nonetheless stand up and cheer for its greatness for fear of being sent to the gulag. This movie is a complete waste of time.
