If you haven't seen come and see, make it a goal to watch it. You'll never watch it again but you be hard pressed not to admit it's a great war movie.
It will move you.
Come and See , well if you hate violence and brutality then you certainly wont want to see this. This Picture set in 1943 occupied Byelorussia is most probably the most true to life war movie ever, only Saving Private Ryan and Schindlers List can come close. What is amazing in this picture , is how the director uses a child's perspective and view in circumstances that you can only describe as evil. The director pulls no punches in how bad times actually were for peasents and partisans alike as German and collaborators show the viewer how low and depraved a fascist military machine actually is.
I dont want to go into the plot , as this film is a MUST for anyone who considers themselves a film buff. Disturbing and terrifying scenes do not in anyway spoil the flow of the film , but when viewing this film , please desist from seeing this movie in the early evening , as you wont sleep.
The acting accolades of course goes to the main characters , but I wish to give a special mention for the Russian Partisan Commander , who was just simply , superb. Everything about him was what you'd expect a Red Army Officer to be. The looks , the attitude and the steely determination is simply a credit to the actor. The best scene involving the Red Army Commander was when they had captured an Einsatgruppen Unit , and the SS soldier , who knew they were facing death was allowed to speak , after there own Commanding Officer was pleading pitifully for his own life. The SS soldier tells his captors that they are sub-human and that there peasent belief in Marxism was grounds enough that they should be eradicated. The Red Army Commander then in just a few words tells his men , that they are not just fighting for Socialism , but also the right to exist.What happens after...well you'll have to see.
Come and See is nothing short of disturbing, awesome, powerful and brutal. This is the best film I have ever seen regarding films portraying the Eastern Front 1941-1945 war. This film should be engraved in gold as the standard for any budding war film director. Only Saving Private Ryan and Schindlers List can be put in the same League table.
wow. Just wow
never heard of it.
i cant put it in. Its too out there, but fucking hell. I need to see this. Do me a favour. And it’s not a good one. Try and watch son of saul. I managed to last the film but I’ve never been in a theatre where so many people left the cinema.
its not something you will watch again. Same as festen
inhave to put fester in as I was heavily into dogma in the 90‘s and for me it was the most eviscerating film ive ever seen
I'll make it a point to watch it. Think it's important to watch those kinds of films, even if you only watch once.
They restored come and see last year in 2K

I read a couple of jg Ballard novels.
i will be honest . It didn’t do it for me. If he thinks this film is great I’m not sure.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day
Dark City
Hidden Gems should be on there.
Well name one then ya dipshit
oh my god.
youre the guy that wanted john wicks too.
i have to say that hidden gems was one of the worst films I’ve ever seen. I saw it at a secret screening for the London film festival 3 months before it came out. I was with a mate, afterwards I said to him I would have walked out after an hour but I thought you enjoyed it.
he said he only stayed because he thought I liked it.
i hated it. Despicable film with zero redeeming qualities.
the year before we watched green book and met viggo and the director . His first Without his brother. We got on so well with peter he invited us to a party at his hotel. the Landmark in Marylebone. I mentioned the tracking shot over the bridge and how I thought it was very special. He slapped me and laughed at my naivety.
we both couldn’t attend. I regret it to this day, but my wife was pregnant and I couldn’t do it.
pulp fiction yes.
inglorious bastards I walked out on.
it was a massive wank. The story was inconsequential to Tarantino showing is he can make 9 genres work in one film.
it didnt imo.
I feel like there should be a Tom Cruise movie in there. A few good men, minority report or edge of tomorrow.
The Bourne movies are one of the best trilogies ever imo.
One flew over the cuckoo's nest
The shining
The unforgiven
True grit
Just some of my personal favs
