Thread: If I was to take a trip to Russia

However, I dont like when everything is credited to five or six people who just happen to be widely known. It's simply indecent, call me an idealist.

Of course it's indecent. Welcome to the real world...I guess the only silver-lining in this case was that the guy was worm-food already, so he couldn't have personally been offended...

Yes, I think it is much better than Saving Private Ryan. But you

More good Russian WWII movies:

Just a masterpiece.

I did a little on-line search and found that there have been two subtitled DVD releases already, the first was apparently botched, and the second one is of decent quality.

I dont know if I could truthfully *recommend* it for viewing for it has zero entertaining value. It is educational, all right, but I dont think anyone in his right mind can *enjoy* it. I watched it long time ago, and back then I wasn't prepared to see this. It f-ed me up good, or maybe I was too young and impressionable.

A movie like this is not likely to come out of any modern studio, the directors and producers would be sued and jailed. Firstly, the kid was allegedly hypnotized for some scenes because he could not take it: the movie was shot chronologically to build up the tension. For other scenes the director admitted to have used live ammo, so the actors could feel what it's like to be on the receiving end, I guess. The guy was your regular Russian mental case on a mission, and after the movie had been released, he retired claiming that he had nothing else to say.

And yes, btw, I checked on the imdb, SPR has "come and see" among references, so the movie connections are official.

Only watch "Come and see" if you have the stomach. You can't compare it to "Saving private Ryan" because this Russian movie is sick. It is basically about the atrocities the Germans do to the Belarussians and how it effects this young kid. If you like seeing inhumanity, you will love this movie.

For the rest of you, give it a skip.

My 2 kopeks.

hows it traslated in russian? im now curious about this movie

Иди и смотри

Why does it translate as "come and see"? Why not "go and see"?

Maybe it is so because you don't simply go (the process) but finally come (the result) there to see it.

It's a line from the Book of Revelation/Apocalypse. It is not a direct translation from Russian to English, it corresponds to the Russian and English versions of the same verse.
