As real as a Documentary

Rating: 10/10 (9 June 2008)

Come and See is a perfect war movie for its age. You can even compare it to Private Ryan which was made twenty years later. I think Come And See is more realistic than Private Ryan. Successful art directing is one reason, the another reason is the usage of long take. There was montage at Private Ryan, when Soldiers reach the shore. It was the coolest war scene maybe but it was realistic due to special effects but montage faded it a little bit. In Come and See you see everything with long take, it gives a more documentary feeling. It deals racism without being racist, at least one German soldier was crying during the massacre. I think this movie is also a great Anti-war movie. Who wants war after seeing the war itself?
