It's not your fault, it's the war's fault

War is not a confrontation of personal grievances, but a collision between two organizations.

In this process, some extreme relationships cannot be understood by ordinary people and ordinary minds. Coupled with the confrontation between the two big countries, a small country in Estonia is full of tragic and tragic features.

This film has a very good description of the microscopic cruelty of war, and the scenes are well used, which can make you fully feel the ruthlessness and cruelty of the real war. A life can disappear very plainly, and it will disappear in a blink of an eye.

The first half is from the perspective of the German army, with a male and female emotional scene in the middle, and the latter is the perspective of the Soviet army. There is no special support between the various perspectives. It feels like a platter.

However, this film can still deeply move me. I can understand and look at a local war from multiple perspectives. The director's idea is very good, and the shooting technique is also very good. It is worth watching.

    The innocent are constantly rebuking themselves, and the guilty are at ease.

    War tears apart the happiness of the people and the integrity of the nation. However, the only thing that shines in the haze of war is the immortal brilliance of human nature. This film reminds us of Estonia and the lives of her and its people torn apart by war.

    Kapten Evald Viires: Comrade Stalin personally gave the order to liberate the capital of Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic, Tallinn, for the 22nd of September. I don't intend to go under court martial, maybe you do.
