Ok, I usually dont comment on overrated movies, that are universally liked, because I will get down voted a lot, but this is something special. I love war movies, I love foreign cinema, and I love a good sad and brutal movie.
What we have here is what a lot of you guys call a "piece of art", "greatest war movie EVER", and my favourite - "greatest MOVIE EVER". I wanted to like the movie, I really did, but please tell me where is the art, where is the "greatest" in the following scenes:
I liked the swamp scene, that is the only scene where I felt tension. The direction was kinda good and I can appreciate the hard work and the harsh filming conditions for the actors involved.
In summary even after the ridiculousness of the above mentioned scenes I give this film a 7/10, because maybe I am crazy. 80 percent of the reviews are positive and say this movie is the best ever. Saving private Ryan sucks ! Maybe this if some amazing cinema, some amazing art and my small brain cant comprehend nothing. Maybe films like this deserve to be in top 250 and be example of art, and films like Shawshank Redemption, Alien, The Green Mile, The Dark Knight, Star Wars were stupid and show nothing of cinema. Thank you for opening my eyes !
Let the hate begin!

- the scene where Flyora and Glasha meet - what was that, their conversation was retarded, their expressions were stupid, and I couldn't understand if they were crying or laughing
- almost 50 minutes of the film is just close up of faces and dialogs and monologues that dont make absolutely no sense, where is the ultra smart and artsy thing here
- why was Glasha even there, they just met, laughed like absolute crazy savages, 20 mins drowning in mud, then the boy just pushes her in the mud, she gets mad at him and then she just dissapears.
- the 20 mins of the boy shooting the Hitler picture and reversing history - yeah I get it, its like it never happened, but it was sooo bad, so cringe-worthy, and just repeating, and repeating, GUYS WE GET IT!
- the unbearable music. I get it again - it is supposed to be this way, this is art in its ultimate form, but at the end of the film my head was hurting, and not because of emotions. The sounds were unbearable. The music was not in the tone of the movie at all, but maybe that was the purpose again and we will close our eyes and not be critical
- the children speaking with a demon voice (I don't even know how to comment that)
- the barn burning and the german soldiers saying that only grown man can go out, but no children allowed. No problem for our child protagonist. He is not a child not only mentally, but even physically and the germans just say "ok, he can go out, no problem at all"
