Breathtaking realistic film, with so much heart.

Rating: Null/10 (27 July 2012)

This film should be mandatory for every war hungry individual in the world to see. The Jewish community was devastated by Hitler yes, six million strong gone. However 628 villages 35 million Russians and they don't have a huge place in American history books at all. This shows the innocence, destruction, disaster, repulsive, and ignorance of war. This film shows how propaganda gets under your skin and how an ideal ruins people slower then a butter knife. Slowly watching a child become a man and a dream become a nightmare I reflect on myself all too much. The film spoke to me so clearly in its message so concise in its roots. I can smell the passion see the passion and feel the passion. As the child watches things blow up, people die, and his life draw to a possible close every scene, he looks into the lens! The most amazing technique I've seen in film that has brought me close to the subject matter and characters, the moments where they look at me in the eye and say there lines to me but look as though they are truly in grave danger. This film deserves 11 stars and a seat in film history for eternity.
