This is one of the best east front movies I've seen since Zvezda, if not ever. Sure, it totally ignores the fact that just a few months before, the soviets invaded Poland and probably murdered most polish officers in Brest. Sure, it portrays all Soviets - even the NKVD officers - as nice (and funny) people, which probably wasn't the case. And of course all German soldiers are some kind of werewolves.
Still, it's a great movie. You'll get to know and love most of the characters, you'll suffer with them, you'll grieve with them.
Yes, it is a very Russian movie. Russian propaganda if you so will (from a Polish perspective). Still, one of the best ww2 movies ever, and a lot more realistic than certain American movies about American conscripts shooting down elite German SS soldiers as if it was a video game.
