Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

This series engaged me almost from the outset.

Keep in mind, it's been 2(?) years since I saw it. First, I saw people, not nationalities, so my being born and raised American, had no bearing on how I received this movie. The themes were universal. The fight for survival on the front lines. The perceived ignorance up the chain of command. The loss felt at home. I'd posit, that any person, regardless of nationality, not moved by the mother's visit to the hospital and then the gravesite, must have the heart of stone. Altho it's Russian and, yea, there were some things I may not have gotten, there were some things I learned as well about the cohesion in the platoon, i.e., that Russian soldiers weren't just faceless masks in the horde of manpower that Russian had to draw upon. They, at least as shown in the series, cared about each other as troops of other nations did. And yes, I did notice the funny cigarettes that still appeared in the 1980s movie, 9th Company.
