Tuntematon sotilas (2018)
Epic and realstic. Best since Band Of Brothers.
I feel urged to rewiew this mini series due to the fact that an 2 hour 15 minutes version (edited from this mini series) was released in 2018 and that was just a pale version of this masterpiece. If someone have seen that movie - forget it! This is the what you should watch!
Here it is no heroes, no glory. Just pure realism who mirrors the life in northern Finland and Sovjet in the 40's, shows the horrors of war, but also the friendship between the soldiers.
I'm 58 and have waited all my life for a worthy filming of Väinö Linnas Tuntematon Sotilas (Unknown Soldier) from 1954.
That book is said to be the second most read book after the bible.
Personal I equals this series with Band Of Brothers in quality and realism.
How Sleep the Brave (1982)
Honest low budget realistic movie
No matter if this movie isn' t shot in Asia or contains a lot of well known actors.
Its very realistic and heartbreaking in a different way than any other Vietnam movie I've ever seen.
The hopelessness, the suicidal patrol when they are sent back in to hell after survived the first trip..
The movie makes an impact, but dont expect realistic action like Saving Private Ryan or other modern movies.
