Movie Reviews

Reviewed by Kirpianuscus

beautiful. but not more

a war film. not different by many others. same story of love in war time, same soft illustration of Nazi crimes, same moral lesson in nice package. the photography is remarkable, the acting is an interesting exercise to use minimalism for save the character, the music in beautiful but, after few strange errors , it is obvious its great sin - it not gives something new. despite the story, the film seems be only a large picture, cold , gray, and the emotion seems be the duty of viewer to imagine it. a film who remains beautiful. like a lot of films about same theme. but the courage to exploring key-details , the craziness of war as stage for a touching love story is missing.

A keyword - Personality

This is a film with a strong female protagonist.A person in the bloody turmoil of war does not give up her thinking, but does what her conscience and inner instinct tells her to do.This is once again a Finnish film about the war, without chauvinism and division into "friends and foes."The main focus here is Personality.The main character is a young woman with a mature soul, able to separate the wheat from the chaff.In the bloody turmoil of war, she does not give up her beliefs, following the orders of someone else's power, but does what her conscience tells her to do.Since her words and actions are full of Courage and Compassion for others, we can say that she was a spiritual being moving towards the Light.
