What A War Is Really About
I viewed this film last night due largely to the high ratings of other commentors. The first half of this film is rather surreal;with a lot of symbolism that can be common in East European films. A lot of this symbolism can be rather diffucult to interpret and many people may be tempted to stop watching the film. This would prove a large mistake as the second half of this film is a stunning, intense portrait of the true horror of war. Outside of actual war footage, I have never seen a war film that recreates this horror as realistic as the second half of Come and See.
It is important, however, to remember that even though the Germans inflicted unthinkable acts upon the Russian people, the Russians also acted much the same toward German civillians and captured German soldiers. Do not forget that Russia began the Second World War as Germany's ally and aided Germany in the invasion of Poland and then invaded Finland. After the war ended Russia continued to inflict human rights violations upon the East European countries they "liberated" from the Germans.
In summation, I don't believe I will ever see a film that serves as such a stark reminder of the inhumanity that accompanies any war. Ironically, it was made by a country that has caused it's share of inhumanity.
