"20.1.2023 Aivan saatanan tiukka, järkyttävän liikuttava ja kaunis, maineensa ansainnut sotadraama. Tarina on yksinkertainen: liekköhän edes kahtakymmmentä täyttänyt Aliosha-niminen sälli tuhoaa puolivahingossa muutaman saksalaisen tankin toisessa maailmansodassa ja saa tästä palkinnokseen viikon mittaisen loman, jotta voisi käydä korjaamassa kotitalonsa vuotavan katon ja morjenstaa samalla rakasta äitimuoriaan. Matka rintamalta kotiin ja takaisin on kuitenkin sodasta johtuvien hid"

" I'm a sucker for brave young man, tossed in by the demands of their nation. How eager they are to serve their country though these wars we fight are completely meaningless.

I can't remember where I read it but author talked about this urge/need to procreate being faced with death. This tension of attraction and fear is captured perfectly in this film. I'm happy. "

"January 13th Directed by: Grigori Chukhrai I love these stories of humanity in wartime. At the beginning I thought this movie was just going to be a straightforward war story with the typical incredible visuals you expect in Russian films, but it becomes so much more. Our lead, seen as a dopey kid at the beginning and a responsible young man at the end is criminally kind, it almost feels like propaganda. Another funny trope you'll see here is the impossibly beautiful young girl who always conv"
