...this review and it makes me want to see it. It sounds like I will definitely have to watch it alone, though.http://us.imdb.com/Title?0091251#comment
But discussing the horrors of war of this scale is impossible without bringing personal experiences into the picture, and the lack of these is going to handicap significantly any attempt at ture understanding. Like in duscussing brutal rape, one can never trully understand its implications without being a victim of such horrible crime.
I recall being three and five years old, going to the kitchen in our large communal appartment, hearing the stories of the siege of Leningrad that those women had to tell. I still remember many of those stories, stories of hunger told in a matter-of-fact manner, of eating rats and carpenter glue and leather boots. That experience put those who went through it in a special camp and everyone else was an outsider.
And since most of us here lack that kind of experience, the movie maker has to resort to silly explosions and plastic guts in his attempt to make the point that simply needs to be whispered in the ear.
