Hands down the best war movie ever made.

A: - Ever since I landed in Chicago, I’ve been hunting for Walter, but he was nowhere to be found. Now that I’m finally packing up to leave, it finally clicked who he actually is.
B: - You know who Walter is!? Say it! Tell me his names right now!
C: - Look at this city. This whole place is Walter.

🙏 🙏 🙏

Total trash—just like those old war movies everyone used to obsess over. 🙏

"Trash" is just some buzzword kids throw around when they haven't actually figured out how to talk about a movie... 😎

It’s decent enough, I suppose, but there is definitely some trashy elements mixed in... just look at that showdown over the Southern Pacific line or that whole sequence in the mine... it feels almost like a stern German commander who acts tough but is strangely soft on his miners because he used to be one himself back in the day... if you know what I mean...😬
And then there's how those crappy Germans die... honestly, I can see myself dying like that too.

I still can't quite believe I haven't actually sat down and watched the whole thing from start to finish yet... I mean, I've seen most of the scenes, but you know how it goes, I'll catch one part today and then maybe some other random bit later on... I really need to just commit to a full viewing at once, and honestly, this crazy heatwave is probably gonna force my hand and make me stay inside enough to finally do it 😬
All things considered, the movie isn't even that bad...

Larry Thompson85 said:"Trash" is just a word kids throw around when they lack the vocabulary to actually critique a film... 😎

Bravo—you've summed it up perfectly. 🤣
By my definition, "trash" describes a total disaster of a movie... unless you view it as a great way to have a laugh. 😎

A legendary film. Pure, adorable communist propaganda at its finest.

Bata Živojinović is rappelling down a clock tower in Boston with a girl in one hand and a machine gun in the other—all while dozens of Germans on the ground open fire on them below.

It’s like nobody bothered to tell them that he and the girl are perfectly safe—they can just duck behind a corner and shoot. It's honestly pathetic how uninformed those Nazi thugs are; they just keep popping out from behind corners right into his sights—which, I guess, isn't much of a challenge for a guy who can hit moving targets with a machine gun while dangling in mid-air with a girl in tow.

😁 There's no denying it—Hajrudin Krvavac has always had a penchant for subtle realism.
