Russian "way" of distruction

The deep drama illustrated in this movie gives another occurrence, besides the countless ones, to understand the russian devastation of civilans lives in Ukraine. If anyone was needing another reason to see and consequently despise the russian aggression and destruction in the the last 20 years, here it is.The visible lack of care and reapect for human life by the russians is undoubtedly pictured in this movie, depicting civilian recodings during the siege and destruction of the city Mariupol and the randomly and merciless acts of cruelty against the civilian population. These grotesque acts will stay forever in the hearts the Europeans and this movie is another archive of what the purposeless vanity of Vladimir Putin does to the neighboring countries.

7 minutes and 27 seconds

Hello you IMDB reviewers! I have never did a review myself and right after starting the movie on HBO Max, I went to imdb and checked the people's opinion on it, and I was surprised to see that there are none. Thinking nothing about it, I went back to the movie.Knowing what happened there during the last 2 years, I knew what to expect.Now...keep in mind that as a father of two, I'm seeing this maybe with different lens, but after 7 minutes into the film, I had to pause and ask myself if I can actually do this, as in watch it. Seeing all the life stories from different people, praising the city and it's city life, it's quality of life and how things started to look better, one can only sit and wait for the tragedy to hit the wiewer so hard, that you just realize that it's not a blockbuster action movie where even if you enjoy seeing headshots, you KNOW that at the end of the day, everyone is safe and that those are stunts. You know that the city is not raised to the ground and it's just special effects.This is different because you know that at the end of making it, people won't cheer with a glass of wine for a job well done, cash the check and see about their lives. You know that those that fell as victims, they are real. The loss is real. The pain is real. And what's worse is that's irreversible.Now, I'll pull myself together and see the rest of the movie.

In war, ordinary people suffer, elites - no!

Documentaries - unlike Marvel movies - are less watched, but more valuable.It is time to accept the thesis that ordinary people suffer in war, not the political "elites".In this respect, the film is a wonderful documentary about the suffering of ordinary Ukrainians. And at the same time - an accusation against the political elites who did not respect the Minsk agreements (as Merkel and Orban admitted).Additional information about the sufferings of the people living there can be obtained from other documentaries, for example from "Children of Donbass".The usefulness of "Mariupol: The People's Story" also lies in the fact that it provokes reflection on how to achieve a peaceful world without wars, based on laws and international treaties, and not on imperialist conquests.Make love, not war!Rating: 9.0.
