"Last" Russian movie about ww2? As if you Russians would ever stop making ww2 movies :p


Ugh, almost as bad from the trailer as that one with the immortal tanker.

I noted 2 movies (current one and 28 Panfilovzev) in last years that were done with help of historians. So it has real uniform and all equipment. Very interesting to see.

Regarding story. It is unreal (Escaping tank crew from German captivity with tank), but similar real story was in aircraft:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Devyatayev

"Mikhail Petrovich Devyatayev (Russian: Михаил Петрович Девятаев; Moksha/Erzya: Михаил Петрович Девятаев; 8 July 1917 – 24 November 2002) was a Soviet fighter pilotknown for his incredible escape from a Naziconcentration camp on the island of Usedom, in the Baltic Sea.
...
At noon on 8 February 1945, as the ten Soviet POWs, including Devyataev, were at work on the runway, one of the work gang, Ivan Krivonogov, picked up a crowbar and killed their guard. Another prisoner, Peter Kutergin, quickly stripped off the guard's uniform and slipped it on. The work gang, led by the "guard", managed to unobtrusively take over the camp commandant's He 111 H22 bomberand fly from the island. Devyataev piloted the aircraft."


P.S.I send by pm link with beginning of movie (I suppose that Russian movie has symbols prohibitted in EU). Just note like it looked in real WWII (unitorm, tanks and so on).

Rolling coffin would be a better title.
 
Russian WW2 movies are getting more and mor Americanized
 
This one is actually getting screen time at a local cinema.

Yeah, that is a major flaw in them. As self-glorifying as the soviet war movies were, there was a distinct tone and a very distinct cinematography to them.

This just looks like action schlock.
 
Well, we actually have a thread for films. I don't see a point for Russian war movie to be disinguished with a separate one. Despite I really loved those Soviet ones. Nowadays, well...

It was my recommendation of noted movie with history accurancy (uniform and all equipment). In real life it costs additional money.

For example, old soviet Polish movie about tank crew and dog wasn't historically one. Beginning of series should has such type of tanks:

Slo-mo shells and such really should have been avoided especially in such frequency. It's perhaps ok if you do it once a movie for dramatic effect.

Evol Nazi meme seems engaged too

I presume that this will be the kind of action flick that requires few mental strain (perhaps some suspension of disbelief) and which might deliver a bit of a natioanlistic/patriotic sentiment in Russia. More aking to Saving private Ryan that say cross of iron.

Fascinating.

I will never understand the importance that the soviets felt in persecuting their own soldiers for so many years after the war though...
 
Some Russian historians criticized the film for the fact that a German SS officer was shown as "...almost like noble knight".
If you want big heroes, you need big opponents.

You realy have to work hard to find a decent noble knight from Waffen SS.Still we have one Heintz Harmel the commander of 10th SS-Panzer Div. Frundsberg. Probably the only SS div. who did not commit any known war-crimes in ww-2. In the year 1984 Harmel got an honor medal from the french town Bayex for the good treatment of pows and the French inhabitans during the war.Eaven Brittish and American veterans have officiell said that the treatment of pows and the respekt for wounded soldiers was very good.

Aghast!!!
 
Are there any old Soviet movies with a similar tone to Come and See, but focusing more on the combat aspect as opposed to life behind the lines?
