Come and See

*“He’s the one who said: “Leave the children. You can come out, but not the children” *“Beast”The best anti-war film ever. This movie portrays the cruelest but probably most realistic side of war. We follow a little kid around all the awful things happening in war, and see how much a human can possibly suffer. He gets absolutely traumatised by soldiers, bombs, nukes, torture and germans. Florya might have the saddest and most traumatising story I personally have ever seen in a movie. I felt so sorry for him during the whole movie. No kid, no woman, no man, no person should experience war. It doesn’t matter what a person did, no one should need to live through such circumstances. Aleksei Kravchenko acts incredible. His facial expressions are phenomenal. It might be the best performance of an actor I have ever seen. Fear and Terror is written in his blank stare, where you know this person has been through hell. And his ending is absolutely powerful. It’s also crazy that the director casted many survivors of the 2nd world war. You can see it in some characters eyes.  I always thought of war as the most awful thing ever made by mankind. Imagine yourself lying in trenches after fighting for months, gunshots blasting around the field killing the ones you love and enjoy to be around. Suddenly a nuke drops, you go blind and deaf for a few seconds. Debris shatters a few of your bones and immediately kills one of your comrades. Your skin burns of and you scream in agonising pain, not only because of your current situation, but also because of all the pressure, mental and physical, you needed to go through in the last month. And no one is there to help you. War is my biggest fear by far.  We live in a sad reality, a world shaped by war, power, religion, greed and wrath. Masterpiece / Favourite
