The most realistic portray of war

Rating: 8/10 (6 June 2010)

The film Come and See is one of the most haunting films I have ever seen. It is a film that depicts the affects of war during WWII Byelorussia.
"Come and See" is centered on a young boy named Florya who is anxious to get involved in the war and do his part. Slowly throughout the film, you see Florya go through hardening situations that force him to grow up quickly. I was in total shock and awe of how Florya's face aged so rapidly at the end of the film. His face was filled with shock, terror, anger and absolute sadness of not only what he had gone through but what he has seen. The movie is a gripping experience in that takes you by the shoulders and shakes you to see what war really is, pure chaos. I will be forever haunted by the image of the young girl bleeding from being repeatedly raped by German soldiers.
The film will leave you feeling shocked, overwhelmed with sadness and pure anger for just a glimpse of how war truly is.
