What do you think is the best war movie ever? Is it some kind of unknown classic from your homeland, or a well known war movie from USA. Do you like patriotic movies or realism, where the last thing that the hero thinks on the field of battles is the homeland.
If you think that the movie is quite unknown, we'd like to know more about the movie. Like the year when it was done, which war does it take place, and something about what does it tell about (is it against the war and violence, is it about love in the middle of cruel history). I hope you understood.
Here are my favourites:
1. Band of Brothers.
Actually it isn't a movie, but it always has to be mentioned.
2. Cross of Iron.
I think this is more unknown, so i'll explain a little. It takes place on the eastern front, and in the german frontlines. Germany is losing the war, but there is a war in the middle of the german forces. Captain Stransky wants to get the Iron cross, and after a one victory he's about to get it, but corporal Steiner, a war hero who has the Iron cross, knows the truth, the battle was led by a man who was killed in battle... This is a cruel and dirty movie about the true war. Deaths in slow motion, mindless killing... The scene in the end, Demarcation! Seiner! is something that has never been seen in movies. You have to see this one.
3. Talvisota (The Winter War)
A Finnish war movie that takes place in a bloody war between Finland and Soviet Union in 1939 to 1940. It tells about the fear of that when the Russians are going to attack and where, and the desperate war itself. Fighting without a hope, hundreds of ruskies and few tanks attacing to finnish trenches and the finns don't have enough ammo to kill everyone. The only weapons against the tanks are molotov's coktails (the only real ones! Invented by finns in 1939 against soviet tanks) and against the soldiers only a hard will.
