***The Winter War is a lot like Kanal insofar as it transcends the actual event and shows regular people reacting in extraordinary situations, and doesn't scream "Antiwar" either.

That is so very true and I have been always saying that the true horror is always in the faces of the participants, not in the bangs and smoke. That is why the best war (OK, OK, anti-war...) films usually have almost no shooting at all. To my mind immediately come things like Forbidden Games and Ballad of a Soldier - both unforgettable and ultimate in their poignancy films.
