Ben's Review of Come and See, Incredible Film

Rating: 8/10 (31 July 2010)

Come and See is incredibly shot. The film incorporates rich style in its shots. It appears to have soviet montage elements to it. This is visible in the precise editing and credits. Beautiful Locations, especially the forest scenes. The scene in the forest where the protagonist and his lady friend were shaking the trees in the rain is an example of an incredible scene.
The Social interactions between characters is groundbreaking and completely original. When our protagonist finds his lady friend in the forest, she is crying, he begins to cry. They are quite a physical distance apart. Both are shot back and forth with a long lens. Its really interesting how they begin crying, then laughing, then crying, then laughing, with very little speaking, defiantly one of the more trippy scenes.
Overall the film made me feel emotionally disgusted of war. Our protagonist started out as a child playing with his childhood friend, and ended up as a survivor. His face aged throughout the film, from all the stress he endured from surviving. He had close calls to his death, from being locked in a building with women and children that was about to be burned down, to a nazi officer holding a loaded pistol to his head for a photograph, I can only imagine what he felt, and it makes me feel sick to my stomach to fathom it.
