      Come and See--Clever Design that Guides the Audience

      The background of the film is White Russia in 1943. Two years after the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union, it is self-evident that many brutal battles took place during the period, but the camera avoided the battlefield where the confrontation between the two sides was directly depicted, and followed closely a boy who joined the army. Fliola and his friends were digging for guns in the war's ruins....

      true anti war movie

      The ultimate anti-war movie. Takes a different path than the average war movie: from ignorance to disgust, followed by powerlessness to finally hatred. War dismembers humanity and becomes the engine of a vengeance machine. The crawling in that swamp is the best portrayal of the meaningless people in the war, the abandoned son. The reconnaissance plane hovering in the sky destroys the powerless village like a god of death.

      The glorified warfighters cannot bear their original...

      German devils have entered the village.

      1. German devils entered the village, entered the village of Belarus, burned, killed and looted.

      2. The little boy's face make-up has aged instantly, and his artistic expression ability is very strong.

      3. In the end, when he took a gun and shot at the portrait of Hitler in the rotten puddle, he used the video from "Triumph of the Will", and the playback artistic effect was very good. In the last photo of Hitler and his mother as a child, the little boy did not shoot at the...

      Destroyed new territory

      See for yourself, thrilling, fascist crimes, killing innocent people who are unarmed and have never offended you. Burning, killing, looting, raping and insulting, doing all kinds of evil, those soldiers are happy when they do evil, a group of robbers and bandits like demons. When they did evil, they never thought that they would be punished. When the retribution came, they wanted to be forgiven. This kind of beast scum is shameless and never deserves to be forgiven by others. They also have...

      Иди и смотри

      "Come And See" refers to the book of Revelation in the Bible, which means to open your eyes to the picture of the end times. Except for the weak ending, the rest of the film is a masterpiece. During World War II, the German army created a tragic massacre, burning 628 civilians alive.
      This is a very special war-themed movie. It truly depicts the tragic experiences and scenes of the people in the German-occupied areas, as well as people's fear of facing a sudden disaster, reflecting the true...

      Shocking! This is like another "Ivan" childhood story, but it is extremely cruel and morbid. This is an expression of the victim that cannot be grieved, but only shock. This is a grim work that magnifies the ugliness of war that destroys humanity in front of you. In the film, the naughty boy's final rage and old-fashioned attitude, the tyranny and fear in his eyes, interpret extreme hatred and pain. Or just in one person, it bears the full force of the...

      Sound processing, how can the audience become a participant while experiencing the emotions of the movie characters? In order to show the fragility of the characters, a lot of subjective shots are used to expose the characters. This should be the film with the most direct-view camera in film history. Manipulate the perception of the audience to reproduce the perception of the character. Several sets of shots are too shocking, and it is really not recommended to watch. In all fairness, although...

      The Soviet version of Apocalypse Now, which emphasizes the first-person come and see (there are few films in history that can be compared with Apocalypse Now), depicts the essence of war behavior countless times higher than the pure nationalistic...

      Some of the atrocities of the Japanese army's invasion of China that I have heard before have been verified in this film. The ending is very decisive. It did not beat the enemy to the ground, and did not kill the enemy because the enemy surrendered. It is very different from China's war of...

    Movie plot

    This film is adapted from the movie script "Хатынской повести" by Алесь Адамович released in 1985. The story is based on historical facts and is one of the most terrifying war movies. The story takes place in the Republic of Belarus in 1943. The locations and events of the film are precisely symbols of human suffering and disaster. The protagonist of the film, Friola (Флера), is a 16-year-old boy who dived into the forest to help the...

    Evaluation action

    "Come and See" is an excellent poetic film. The poetic and film techniques it uses have reached the point of perfection-simple, concise, and profound. The film is full of metaphorical symbols with profound meanings, but it is concise and clear rather than obscure; the film uses strong rhythm control and emotional photographic art techniques always tightly centered on the central task of shaping the characters and revealing the theme....
