The best Finnish war movie ever made. Still looks good on effects, but sounds are little bit thin.

A relatively less known Finnish master piece about

A relatively less known Finnish master piece about The Winter War 1939-40. One of first 'gritty, realistic war movies', if not The First, which had direct or indirect influence to most war movies directed after it. No Hollywoodisms, no artificial forced plot, no superheroes, no glorification of war. Pekka Parikka's Talvisota is the war movie that many ways redefined the genre, and to which private ryans, stalingrads, hacksaw ridges, red thin lines and ilks are in dept. The movie which hasn't got enough credits for it's influence to the genre, and the impact it made to it, but it's also the movie that should be permanently in the collection of "Introduction to the war movies" for all directors of the genre. There are no false notes in this master piece, even considering relatively small budged and production values relative to contemporary movies of this kind. Talvisota's realism goes that far that even landscapes of battles were chosen to depict rather accurately to their historical place. You just look at a battle map of historical Battle of Äyräpää at the end of the war and you watch the movie: troops fight in and move in similar landscapes of geography... ;) Only atypically warm winter '88 during the making of the film takes something out of the realism of Winter War, the reality was hellishly more frozen than it appears in the film. Of course, there are many little things to nitpick about realism, but as a whole this gem is just as realistic as it can go with given resources to put it, which were unprecedented for it's time in Finnish cinema. War movie where audience is just put there in to a trench to share same perspective, pains, desperation, frustration, losses. Catharsis is to be find only upon death in this movie. No parades, no medals of honor... Cast does incredible job, largely avoiding anachronisms. They also collectively paint a great picture of a microcosmos within the platoon, company, battalion... This war movie is among the best films ever made in it's genre, but audiences must remember that it is also made long before any now-established Hollywood 'formats' or 'rules' of a war movie how to depict things realistically within this genre. Thus, plot-wise it maybe difficult to digest for some of contemporary audiences, as it lacks practically everything that is now standard stuff in war movie scripts. Drunken soldier: "Make a room for heroes of River Taipaleenjoki!" *long silence* Martti Hakala: "The Heroes of Taipaleenjoki are already dead." Highly recommended, essential war movie to watch. The film that probably get much more recognition more time will pass, for it's realism and for in its core, it is universal and timeless. "Peace has come 11am!"

Hands down one of the best war films

Hands down one of the best war films I’ve ever seen. There’s an incredible sense of proximity to the soldiers — we’re right there with them, in the mud, the cold, the fear. Everything feels raw and deeply credible. What I especially loved is the film’s rhythm: it doesn’t dwell on particular scenes or try to dramatize artificially. Instead, it offers flashes — snapshots of war life, brutal and fleeting. No lingering. The result is a sense of immediacy and fragmentation that mirrors the chaos of war itself. Tragic, understated, and powerful.
