We always said that it was not possible produce an effective anti-war film in its message. Indeed, the fights are exciting and the end of the bands of this type is generally carried out by the survivors. In this way, the objective of the film would remain obstructed by these action scenes and the slim chance of becoming a hero. Well, come and see, he gets to paint such a crude and grotesque depiction of World War II that it is impossible to want to participate in something like that.
Why should you watch Come and See?
- As I said above, Come and see is not your typical American war movie where the good guys win and save the day.
- Despite this, I think this tape shows much better the reality of armed conflict and the ruthlessness of men.
- I think it’s very important to fully enter into this genre.
- I mean, I love tapes like Monuments Men, Saving Private Ryan oh Damn bastards.
- But I also consider crucial pieces like Jarhead, Full Metal Jacket oh come and see.
Having said that, Come see, he stands out from all the other mentions with his attention to detail.. And it is that, in the tape, it is very visible that the director worked with someone who lived the events firsthand, since the great moments of charges, explosions and massive destruction are replaced by a more personal and psychological fear.
War strikes like a hammer
During this tape we follow a boy named Florya. This young man dreams of joining the army and leaving behind his precarious life in a small town. After achieving his goal, he quickly realizes that conflict has little glory and all is fear and horror. When the first bombs fall near him, we notice a radical change in his attitude. Explosions leave him half deaf and also caused him to take the first step into a pit of madness and misery.
In conclusion, I think Viens et voir is one of those little-known films that, in fact, greatly enrich the genre to which they belong. If you liked All Quiet Front, this movie has a similar plot and setting, so if you’re looking for something similar, this is a perfect choice. And if, on the contrary, you hate the most generic war films, I think you should try too and be amazed.
