Georgy Zhukov Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 Sounds like Soviet Era films where they finance big budget to show the West what they can do. War and Peace for example, the most expensive film of all time, so expensive I don't think it ever made a profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netcat Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 yes perhaps you are right, i only mentioned it becuse seeing Jude Law in soviet military uniform was pretty exciting, and i could stare at his perfect face for hoursGirl, what the fuck is wrong with you?!?! Jude Law, perfect face?!?! Since when? Perfect nobhead more like it!"I'm so good-looking"oh please, my taste in men is irreproachable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 I find the propaganda films more entertaining. I was watching one earlier on the Battle of Kursk where they show Russian women in skimpy clothes digging ditches for German tanks. It was during the summer but the angles they chose were...interesting.What I find amusing is that the 2013 film of Stalingrad is in 3D.

netcat Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I find the propaganda films more entertaining.all of the old russian war movies kind of fall into this genre. did you see soviet classic films like "17 moments of Spring", or "Only Old Men are going to Battle"?http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070861/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 Haven't seen them. The only Soviet film on the war I've seen was Come and See. For a country known for propaganda their films seem honest. Come and See was brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netcat Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 did you know that Klimov (the director) started to work on this film in 1977 but it was released only in 1985 because of the censorship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 It seemed Soviet policy changed a lot during the late 70's and early 80's because their leaders kept dying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biased for facists or communists?it's not biased at all.the movie shows how the social revolution led by the anarchists and the p.o.u.m. (trotskists) has been defeated by both the fascists and the stalinists.the movie is based on george orwell's experience (homage to catalonia) and on historians as burnett bolloten (the spanish revolution) and hans magnus enzensberger (the short summer of anarchy).

Georgy Zhukov Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) Does anybody know the title of the war movie that starts at the 49:16 mark ? It looks like a Soviet movie. It is from The Longest Day. An American film about The Normandy Invasion. The scene depicts French soldiers assaulting a town.

Georgy Zhukov Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Thanks a lot ! No problem. It is a great movie. Some scenes were inaccurate but only because they could not portray the real carnage of war that Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan did.

axlfan88 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 A couple of days ago I saw All Quiet on the Western Front. It's a good antimilitarist movie made in 1930 in the same vein as What Price Glory (R. Walsh). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake-Pit Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) Saw Enola Gay - The Men, the Mission, the Atomic Bomb (TV Movie 1980) on YouTube the other day, I liked it; Starred Billy Crystal too playing a serious role, with little comic relief, for a change. - Not a bad serious actor.. I saw like 40/45 minutes of this movie Len posted in 'the Movie Thread' (whatever it's actually called); too - starring Charles Bronson, about this guy's war I guess; When Hell Broke Loose (1958)...I found it more of a comedy though - not bad though.
