Familiarize yourself with his name and get back to me. Also, I don't take Nietzsche as gospel truth, so to speak.

A sad strange story. I don't know what else to say. Imagine being there, the anguish..! Very well directed and great actors. My eyes were watering at the end.
This is certainly a movie worth-watching. There are several conflicts of interests among the characters, with each faced against the other, the director's labours are worth noticing. Each character has lived up to its nature. There are multiple ironies in the screenplay. The white ice depicted throughout has strong symbolic connotation, representing death. In the proximity of death, a few characters exhibit deeds of humanitarian compassion. In fine, it is human love and empathy that stays at the top as a predominating sentiment and the core theme of this moving drama. Hearty appreciation to the Russian actors and the film -crew......Srivilliputtur S Ramesh, SRIVILLIPUTTUR, TAMIL NADU, SOUTH INDIA.
In European cultures, white more commonly symbolises innocence and purity. Death is generally connected with black. Otherwise, I heartily agree with your remarks.
Kudos to the spectacular portrayl of the numerous conflicting themes and interactions that wars bring to the surface, conflics of patriotism and duty to country, comrades and self-preservation. It makes one wonder why so many of we, sapiens, are so anxious to start and engage in wars when it is so obvious that there are no real winners; every participant on both sides of the fence is a loser, as is every country and every family, personally involved and not involved. Here's hoping that we will soon see an end to all wars---we need more common sense and more social interactions and less anger, fear, envy and that insatiable thirst for control and power over others.
It's not we, sapiens that start wars. To insinuate that Politicians are humans is an insult to people everywhere. Wars are started by the elite for the benefit of the elite and only the elite.
Without God it isn't possible. The animalistic nature of man will keep rearing its head if the spiritual morality we were endowed with is not put to use.
Over and over throughout this movie I couldn’t help being reminded of the fact I was so fortunate having been born a United States citizen. Thank You for uploading this!
@@beaujeste1 Due to my geographic location it's highly unlikely the U.S. is invaded by another aggressive country.

Fantastic movie👍👍👍... Shows Stalinistic Casualties & the humanity of single men... So much better than Hollywood Stuff👍... Thks for uploading & btw who & where was this film forbidden???
What are the "victims of Stalinism"? Have you read Stalin's order No. 227? Well, read it to understand why they did it that way and why it was done. The Germans had it worse and acted more harshly there. Find out what the German "999" battalions were and what they did. Even in Great Britain at one time there were their own penal battalions...
@@saraprva4172 Yes, and also that Partisans dressed in the uniforms of Germans they'd killed. They then shot Russian peasants and Russian soldiers they'd captured. This was filmed for propaganda value, they received extra pay and a special medal. That's why the partisan who took him prisoner was wearing an SS jacket under his coat
@@jimmyjimo1708 Nonsense. He was not a partisan, but a collaborator who served the Germans and just went crazy and became an ogre. The Soviet lieutenant, out of inexperience, takes him for a partisan. Although in reality there were partisans who fought against everyone or against Stalin. It was a very difficult time. It doesn't fit into your black and white agenda.
Holy smokes! That was actually really good. Could've used a bit more of a budget for the battle scenes and the language barrier made some scenes feel awkward or less important. But, I really enjoyed the difference in film making.
That's not so. Aren't you surprised by the unfrozen river? Do you really think that the Russians don't know? If there was a lot of snow, then the ground could keep warm. If there is little snow and severe frost, then the ground will freeze. Besides, didn't you see that he was actually digging this ground? There was also a way to make a fire first, and then dig. There can be many ways and conditions. This does not mean that today it is autumn and it is possible to dig, and tomorrow it is winter and it is impossible to dig.
That is not soviet made movie, movie made in Russian Federation in 2009 Near city of Rgev, a place where Red Army fighting German army for one year in 1942 and 1943 to stand still and red army lost over one million soldiers in bitter fighting to a point of Stand still ,either side weren’t winning anything for one year and half.
The atmosphere in both the Russian and German armies had to be horrible to endure. If German lost any gear during a retreat he was punished for it. They were expected to stay with a truck until someone brought them gas or die defending it when the soviet advance got to it.
The German penal battalions were worse than the Russians. The Germans did not have the concept of “paying for a mistake with blood” - only your command could decide whether you corrected yourself or not. For the Russians, it was enough to be wounded in the very first battle or to commit a brave act in order for your military rank, awards to be returned, and your position to be restored, returning you to your previous place of service.
Top notch - a rollercoaster of feelings that only can be procced by the best. You know its good when you hate a character so much that you have to turn of the vid several times. That Lt.. OMFG!!
if its prohibited why has it been on your youtube channel for at least 6 months???? PROHIBITED means NOT AVAILABLE…. Which means you shouldnt have it!!!! FALSE TITLE
I agree. Partisans and civilians had their role too. Those who were not fighting were working as mad at factories in deeper Russia. The collective West has never admitted the decisive role of the USSR in WWII.
Usually i preferred to watch second ww movies, mainly true stories. Brutality, dedication, courage, patriotism , among humanity, good and proven lessons to mankind..
Would have been nice of you to include the movie date of '2009'. It's a Classic so the date is safe to show. Thnx 4-upld, found it intense, interesting with good actors/actresses.
Yes, very good movie. But it portrays Russians as noble men. From our (polish) point of view: 1938 Polish operation - more then 110000 Poles living in Soviet Union were murdered. Others were sent to lagier camps with high sentences. The children were transported to Soviet child care homes - they were lessen version of labor camps. 17.09.1939 Soviet Union crosses polish borders and participates with Germany in Poland's division. By July 22nd 1 500 000 polish citizens were sent to gulags and a lot of them were already dead. This is just a little history about how Soviets were acted against Poles.
Dostoyevski described you very well in his novels (poles) where there always was a pole looking at russians down his noble nose. now, after watching this movie and reading positive comments about russians, you act as a pole from dostoyevski's novels, putting down russians as lower breed of human. i see you talk about stalin dividing poland with hitler....i just want to remind you that poles rushed to take a chunk of checkoslovakia right after hitler took sudetenland which was before hitler invaded poland in sept of 1941. I was triggered by your hatred clearly stated in "portrays russians as noble man" whereas "we all know they are beasts" and then you prove it by giving some history lessons on suffering of noble poles under beastly russians. People like you, haters, are not able to see simple things....like the fact that those characters in this movie are human beings, and no, they are not noble, they are just behaving like almost every human being would have, regardless of their ethnic background, in given circumstances where death is all around, treason, fear, chaos, suffering...
@@sinisasimic70 Zaolzie was part of Poland and was taken from us by Czechs in 1920. Poland was unable to protect it becsuse was defending it's freedom from attacking bolshevick's hordes. You didn't show me facts just story of a writer who has polish roots by the way. Please, answer and comment the facts I gave to you. You may also add other atrocities bolshevics did to russian nation, ukrainian nation baltic nations, caucas nations, Tatars. .... etc. Just I wrote. The movie is good. But you still live in communism country. There is no God in inhuman land , that is, today's Russian Federation and former Soviet Union. You falsify history to your needs.
Glad I saw this before yt made you get rid of add blockers. I was going to watch it again, but too many adds. That is NOT the channels fault. Yt inserts them as they see fit....for anyone coming along behind with a gripe about it. Don't blame the channel ok? I had 3 adds in the first 6 mins. That makes it unwatchable if I have to read subtitles and click the skip button every 2 mins.
Being born Russian seems like the worst stroke of luck I can think of. Being Russian during Stalin's time seems as bad as being a North Korean. Between Lenin, Stalin, and then Hitler living just over the border, well, what could be worse?
Do you know Stalin killed much more Russian ppl than Hitler did? I recommend you to google a biograpphy of Varlam Shalamov, great Ru. writer and to look at his "Kolyma Tales".
You could be one of the million Americans that were exterminated by the English , French , Spanish or Portuguese . Or you could be one of thE inhabitants of Namibia , Congo , Australia , Tasmania . You could have been born in Gaza and be one of the 17000 killed babies . Only God knows why we are born in a certain land , in a certain time .
