Those child actors truly did an outstanding performance!
The boy became a professional actor later, but for the girl it was her only movie she was ever in.
do we know why she did not act in more movies? she was pretty good
@@husseinmoussa2947 It seems she became a teacher, and regarding she was an art student before its likely that she was not the one for fame. After delivering her personal peace of artwork at such a young age, its plausible she decided to spend her later life as a private person.
Most excellent. Thank you for the info. 🙏
agreed.
I was wondering who she was and was she in any other movies. She was beautiful and brilliant in this movie. Great roles and acting by both of them.
A film that makes me feel the way a war movie should. No sense of happiness of triumph, just loss and regret
It's the first allied movie I see like this, 0 happiness, 0 glory.
Maybe life has took away my sensitivity, but this movie is not sad or violent, it is just weirdo. But must Slav movies are alike. Maybe they try to overcompensate their lack of budget with over acting, but this just makes the actors and actions look cartoonish.

Can someone explain to me what Flyora is doing here? 22:18
My grandfather was a child when his father and his entire family were invited under the resettlement program to Kaliningrad (Kenigsberg). Grandfather said that in those places, even a year after the bloody battles, all the surrounding forests were dotted with weapons and military equipment. One day, grandfather and his older brothers went into the forest and found several boxes of household soap there and, delighted with this find, they brought it to their mother. When this "soap" was seen by the elder brother, who fought as a sapper, he turned pale, because the "soap" turned out to be TNT briquettes.
Grandfather, along with his friends, played shooting from an anti-aircraft gun at the sky.
My grandfather also said that many fished with grenades. Almost all residents had machine guns and rifles in their houses. Weapons were needed to protect against armed gangs of flattering brothers, who often raided nearby settlements.
I was born in Russia in 1968 and grew up listening to my grandparents' stories about the war. In 1985, we went to the cinema with college friends in Moscow to watch this film. I left there horrified. And to think that my grandfather was this boy's age at the time.
I pray they lived a nice peaceful life after all they went through.
My great grandparents on my mother's side were all German. My grandmother's parents left in 1938. My grandfather's parents couldn't leave until 1943. His brother was even in the Hitler youth. They had to keep him sedated until they were on the ship to the US.
I am very proud of my great grandparents for refusing to go along with the nazis. It took years for them to be able to leave Germany but I am glad they did. Very sad they had to leave behind the land of their ancestors because the Nazis. I wish to someday go to that property where my ancestors lived for hundreds of years.
@@jrmckim My maternal grandfather, Volodia, was between 14 and 15 years old and had to run away to avoid being sent to forced labor in Germany. That's why he abandoned my great-grandmother and fled to the Russian resistance. He never saw his mother again, as she died along with Krusk's entire family. My grandmother Katerina's family helped hide Hebrew families. At the end of the occupation she was also orphaned due to the aerial bombing of her village. My paternal grandfather, Lionel, fought with the Belarusian resistance. He was in Berlin in 1945.

This movie really puts into perspective how little time has passed since WW2. A lot of the people who acted in this movie probably experienced the war. The weapons, German/Soviet uniforms and equipment are definitely almost all original which gives an authentic feel. Such a powerful movie, it looks like a modern production thanks to the cinematography.
Many of the extras were survivors of the Nazi occupation. They were not acting, they were reliving the horrors they'd witnessed.
It's crazy that political leaders and media in the west are pushing for yet another world War to pop off.

@@fins6191 it was one of the first soviet films where the state studio control was loosened, and the director went nuts
The scene of Glasha chasing after Flyora to find his family, only for her to turn around and catch a quick glimpse of the corpses behind the house will forever be etched into my brain. It took almost no words for that scene, and it is incredibly powerful.

The way Florya disappears into the crowd at the end is so hauntingly and beautifully sad to me. Just another in a crowd of boys and young men equally torn apart by the horrors of war. Each of them with an equally horrifying story to tell.
All of them probably have nothing left, but they would rather stick together rather than be alone.
Well said brother

JUST REMEMBER ONE THING.
These are all practical effects. No special effects. No CG.
All real. All practical - including the bullets and explosions.
A brutal story about true events. I certainly would NOT forget this movie.
One extra thing. That COW really was SHOT.
No special effects there - like Hollywood. Most likely that cow was already up for slaughter - so they put the cow in this movie instead.

I’ve been meaning to watch this film for 20 years. Almost purchased it from Criterion. Heard it was one of the greatest war films ever made. Watched many hundreds of films but never got around to it. Then I find it on You Tube and finally watch it and it turns out to be as incredible a film experience as I had read it was. And what an ending. It’s no wonder that Elem never made another film as he felt he had said everything in this one. A masterpiece. Thank you Mosfilm for making it available to everyone to see.
Я считаю, что это один из лучших фильмов о войне, возможно лучший. В фильме нет военных действий армий противников, но есть ужас, горе. Я смотрела фильм в год его создания, второй раз я нашла силы посмотреть только через 20 лет.

Sound in this movie is dead silence or chaos, no in between. It exemplifies true horrors of war. No heroic music, no fanfares, just human suffering laid in front of you.
Exactly like "Apocalypse Now" (F.F. Coppola, 1979) about the Vietnam war, and "Son of Saul" (Saul Fia, 2015, Laszlo Nemes) about Sonderkommandos in Auschwitz II- Birkenau ; the first one (like "Idi i Smotri" Come and See) is eternal, almost biblical in its way to depict war as a calamity, a hellish evil which spawns horror among the earth. The second is incredible because it restrains the spectator to a point of view, in a claustrophobic and realistic way, and it has almost no external soundtrack. Go watch them if you didn't have the chance until now. They're worth watching.
I have never seen a young man age so quickly as in this film. He's a kid in the beginning, playing on a beach. By the end, he looks closer to 40 and is doing what he needs to survive. I wish more people knew about this masterpiece of a film. The surrealness makes it more real in a way. True magic. I wish films like this didn't have to be made but "Come and See" is truly like nothing I've ever seen before.
YESSSS I FELT THE SAME WAY
I saw someone else say that his classmates were shocked and noticed he had aged like that as well
Most people know about it since it’s usually posted as the scariest movie ever made and on all the top ten lists for Halloween and horror movies.
I first saw parts of the church burning scene on a video on Facebook. It made Schindler's list look tame. I'm glad I finally found the full movie.

This is how a movie about WW should be made.
Its not about heroes who defeat evil, not a saint who fight for justice. Unlike any other war movie nowadays which glorified wars, this movie depict the cruelty of them as it is.
There are a few films that touch this quality regarding the brutality and futility of war, though only one on my list relates to WWII. Das Boot does not deal with this type of bestial atrocity, but captures in a visceral way life on a German U boat with the same intensity and relentless momentum. The Killing Fields covers the after effects of the War in Vietnam, and Hotel Rwanda also has the same quality of unvarnished raw reality.🖤🇨🇦
@@tamarrajames3590 Except Hotel Rwanda was a Hollywood confection made by the anglo-american cabal designed to hide the truth of the atrocities which the CIA and MI5 manufactured for their own despicable ends, the horrors of which continue to this day..
@@simonlee8889 I agree, but they also told the story of the Canadian commander who had his hands tied from any possible action. He suffered terrible PTSD following the genocide. As much as they tried to hide outside instigation, they did capture the sickening result of its full breakout anyone who does a little research will know what was not included.🖤🇨🇦
I would think this is possibly the only 'War Film' where the director has intentionally not used any battle scenes (just showing some of the after affects) & the terrible reality of trying to be brave like the boy Florya but unwittingly just adding more death to a situation that has little sanity or reason.
@@tamarrajames3590 hi there , the 'Killing Fields' has very little to do with the US/Vietnamese war .it was an internal conflict in Cambodia, where the extreme left wing Khmer Rouge ,financed by China took control of the country in 1975. The mass killings (approx 20% of its population) were largely halted in'79 when a Vietnamese force intervened.
When i was a soviet kid in early 80's i asked my grandparents and grandparents of my friends about war. What they saw, some heroic stories. and my friends asked same. But we usually heard just couple of words. Grandfathers frowned and went away to smoke or something and grandmothers sometimes even started crying. Some scars never stopped bleeding.
@@wolfsko7072 Dude, don't smoke that stuff anymore. Maybe Auschwitz or Dohau was built by Russians in disguise? Russians in disguise killed almost 20 million of their population to frame the good Germans?

I didn’t know about it until 4 weeks ago yesterday. I’ve traumatised for that long and it’s horrible
It really is beautiful in parts..the Stork appearing randomly, was a surprise, the infusion of colour in the flowers that Glasha carried for example. Amid the muted tones of the film, little things of beauty popped up and I loved the way the camera closed in on certain things, making it seem so real. The scene the where Glasha did that little dance on top of the suitcase was really cute - typical of people finding joy in simple things even when madness is all around.
@@commiesnzombies same here. I can't believe I have never heard about this film.
When I first saw this several years ago I found it so confronting I had to give up, two years later I watched through to the end. My father was in Serbia during WW2 and most of his family were killed or died of hunger. My mother, a non-Serb, said my dad was traumatised and had nightmares about the war for the remainder of his life (he died in late 2008). Watching this gave me the smallest look into what my dad and millions, upon millions of others lived through. I don't know how my father and all those others who survived had the strength and luck to survive the nightmare of war, I am not certain I could have. I hope we and our children never, ever have to live through such events again.
The Criterion 2020 blu-ray release of this film has five mini documentaries which are actually interviews with people who survived their encounter with the SS Einsatzgruppen and the stories they tell are harrowing to say the least. If you can get this blu-ray, it’s well worth the money, but it’s region coded so you’d have to have a region free player.

Whenever I’m having a bad day or am just outright feeling depressed about something. I watch movies and documentaries about war and genocide like these to remind myself that somewhere out there, past or present, other people experienced far worse than whatever it is I’m going through
I’m like that with the war and 9/11, I was born just 9 months after the attacks in 2001 and I’m terrified every time I get on a plane because this event comes to mind. I’m now almost 22, I know why me and 9/11 have a close connection and we’re bonding very well in recent months; I wish the war had that close connection like 9/11 does but now my love for the war has just deteriorated when 9/11 made things okay again. RIP to all who died in the war and September 11th, 2001 (9/11)
Don't undermine your own feelings just because "other people have it worse". It's unhealthy.
Same here
“To love….to bear children” is a quote I’ll always remember. What a masterpiece of a film. Gut-wrenching.
That quote from Floyra will always haunt me because I said that to him in my nightmares of Come and See when I died, Floyra still has my blood on his hands today and he refuses to get it off because it symbolises his love for me. When Floyra reunites with his other girl Glasha, she gets the dreaded news from a heartbroken Floyra about my death and Glasha just evily stares at Floyra and he immediately knew she was responsible. A grieving Floyra starts getting angry with her and he finally gets his ultimate revenge on Glasha but there is such a heartbreaking scene where Floyra hesitates of doing it and then has a vision of me saying “You have to do this Floyra whether you hesitate or not because I love you!” A grieving Floyra finally breaks down and finally brutally stabbed Glasha but he stays with her until the end and then he just leaves her there showing no remorse for what he did. Hopefully for my Come and See nightmares ending will be a grieving Floyra rejoining the partisans he was with earlier and he actually tells the young boy who looked like him about me and he feels sorry for Floyra going through this and they just continued on as normal with a grieving Floyra knowing he finally got the justice he deserves and Floyra might pay a moving tribute to me a year later in 1944. That will be an incredible ending to mine and Floyra’s love story and he’ll never find a girl like me again
While I appreciate that so many people enjoy this as a film, it really is more than that. It’s more than a cinephile talking point. It’s more than “the best horror movie ever” or “the most disturbing depressing movie ever”. This film was a statement. A reminder of real history. This was Klimov’s way of de-romanticizing / caricaturing Nazis, as the tradition had been in Hollywood. 27 million people died in the USSR during the war, compared to 400,000 US soldiers in both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters combined. The sheer terror of Nazi occupation in the East is something no one in the west can really understand. The stats are clear on the treatment of prisoners and citizens between the two halves of Nazi occupied Europe - the Nazis sought to eradicate the Slavic peoples - Vernichtungskreig, a war of annihilation. The Dirlewanger Brigade was just one group that unleashed this kind of obscene genocide on the people in the East.
The film doesn't try to scare you with jumpscares, gore or blood. Just a pure reminder of what happened and a warning for future generations.
mean really get over yourself
That's an amazing explanation!
Wow. That really just hit me & i had to even fact check. Absolutely horrendous 💔💔💔. How can pple be that horrible to others smh.
It's the purest encapsulation of generational trauma ever put to screen, I should think. It captures so well the horrific lingering psychological impacts left on the USSR by the war, that even decades later were still as raw and painful as they had ever been, both for the survivors and their descendants.
The cinematography of this film is absolutely phenomenal. Not many things truly unsettle me, but when the camera stays focused on one of the kid’s faces, I can see the emotion and terror and insanity building inside them. I can’t even watch this in the dark without getting freaked out because the way the camera focuses on their faces makes them look almost inhumane. It just gives this feeling that I can’t explain. All I can think to explain it as is a deep feeling of dread. I have no idea how they were able to portray their feelings so well by just staring into the camera.
And the part when they return to his mother’s home and he tried to act normal and the girl knew everyone was already dead. The sound of the flies and the obvious reality that he is clearly losing his mind while she has already lost hers.. I almost wanted to skip that scene because it felt so real but I couldn’t.
These kids are probably the greatest actors I have ever seen. This movie is absolutely incredible and more terrifying than any horror movie out there.

I think the sound design deserves a mention too. It's way ahead of its time and way unlike anything from other movies of the 1980's or prior. It's filled with sounds of dissonance and a constant low rumbling similar to that of dark ambient music, sounds of darkness accompanying light moments, and vice-versa, sounds of levity accompanying images of terror. The sound effects are deliberately muddled, as to convey the way those sounds would be heard by a disoriented and terrified witness to the events.

One interesting thing about this movie is this was the last film the filmmaker ever made. Reason he gave for it is he felt like this was it, this was the best movie he could and would ever make and to make more would be futile. This is where it transcends a profession and enters real art.

Those are not puppets and toys that lay down on the floor in Flor's house. But Flor's mind does not accept the truth and pictures objects. Glasha on the other hand still has a grip on reality and throws up as she gazes upon the morbid fate that met Flor's family as their desacralized and lifeless bodies rest in that room.

This young actor didn't eat for two days then two days he was allowed to eat. He told about this in his interview. How long he did that i don't know.
The second trick is that he was hypnotized from time to times as the director worried for his mental health.

Absolutely. And the cinematographers with their haunting full-on portraits of the characters and the choreographies. This film is beautiful, crazy and horrifying, all rolled into one. It goes beyond the ideological message and it warns about the spiral of horror that wars inflict on the mind of ordinary people. It makes you think of something different.

the main message of the film: do not forget history, otherwise it may repeat itself
Only good people 1st: are curious about what really happened; 2nd: are willing to learn from what really happened; 3rd: Don't deny what happened. So, sorry to tell you but, since the majority of people arn't 'good people', history will keep repeating :(

OH MY, JUST GOT DONE WATCHING THIS MOVIE ON MY 74TH BIRTHDAY. THE HUMAN RACE HAS NOT CHANGED ONE BIT. I AM SO SORRY. AMEN
Happy birthday
Without any desire for exaggeration, this film is nothing like any other, on the favourite subject of Soviet Cinema...It's a milestone...A brutally realistic depiction of the invasion of Belarus by the Nazis, filmed entirely on location, that leaves nothing to the imagination. Excellent acting, by an all amateur cast, riveting direction and haunting music, and all the raw violence of a war of attrition such as the Great Patriotic War was...A punch in the gut sort of movie, not very likely to be forgotten any time soon, if only because of its realism and aftertaste, and a whole new concept in war movies, when it was made ( back in 1984-85)...Thank you Mosfilm, for another excellent upload...

My grandmothers house near Vitebsk was burnt twice by Germans. She and her two daughters survived hiding in the growing wheat field. She never hated Germans. She said she felt sorry for the young German soldiers becoz they looked like Belarusian young boys. She said communists and fascists are the same demon.
This film showed the attitude of the so-called “civilized” West towards us Slavs. We won't forget
@@glorgis I agree not everyone thinks so. But the West always unites to kill Russians. We in Russia observed your hatred of us with sincere surprise. You will always be our enemies; no Russian person needs to believe you.

My grandparents survived this by taking refuge in the woods in the Vitebsk Gate. People forget that the holocaust was not just Jews but millions of citizens who stood in the way of the German advance.
Exactly!
sad part is that the movie of course was made to make the Germans look way worse then they were. if you would replace all German soldiers with soviet Bolsheviks, the movie would be pretty historically accurate. historical fact that the soviets did these things in looted German uniforms and always let 1 person live to tell the tale that Germans did it is absolutely disgusting.

I remember taking a cinematography class and this was one of the films i recommended everyone to watch along with The Lighthouse and the original Old Boy. Everyone thought i was crazy and i ended with a C in that class because the instructor would rather watch Harry Potter, Disney films, and other things that weren't thought provoking. One person did watch this movie...and she was in awe the entire time and appreciated me recommending it.
Your instructor doesn't understand the art of cinema and this film is pure art.
what kind of teacher is this?😂

I wouldve been fine the instructor suggests Interstellar or Blade Runner but... Harry Potter? Disney films? Really?
You are in wrong school if your instructor watch Disney and Harry potter
A masterpiece by all means.
A delight of cinematography.
Another cinematography merchant...
It's just crazy how the director shocks you all along. In the last scene the director makes you feel like you want them burn, become inhuman yourself, then it stops you with the machine gun scene. A movie never made me feel so angry and ashamed, it makes you feel that every human can become a beast and being human is an active choice
During the movie, I always wanted to blame Woody for why those in the War died but when Woody saw me all wrinkled on my wrists; he knew Come and See had traumatised me.

I disagree, at least with saving private ryan. Many survivors said that was the most historically accurate movie about the holocaust. I think they are even. SpR is more of the actual war part. CSM Is more of the jew and German perspective and just how vicious the atrocities were during ww2.

What’s equally hard to believe is that this war happened only a bit over 40 years before the movie came out. So…a lot of the actors had family who lived and/or died through it, maybe even lived through it themselves.
It’s a very chilling realization that I had.

I can’t believe it either and I’m watching the movie on it’s 40th Anniversary this year
I had to watch this movie in sections over a couple days. It's so unsettling.
I did it in one go and I was left so traumatised by the way Floyra aged throughout the whole movie. 2 months on and I’ve physically aged from 21 to 27 after watching the movie I’m not joking about it
its not that deep bro
I remember my brother and I watched this film in our living room together, absolutely messed up and brutal. Still one of the greatest anti-war films we've seen.
I actually watched this movie in my pitched black bedroom 2 days ago and I was left completely traumatised, Woody actually now cares about me more than before. I was surprised that Woody was traumatised by the shock I was in and he thought I was going to lash out but I didn’t
Man this is awkward. I saw this movie 2 weeks ago in very low quality, and I still thought it was one of the most gripping, intense and well-made movies I had seen in my whole life. Now, Mosfilms itself is putting the movie online. Guess I’ll have to rewatch it, not that it’s a problem considering how good it is. Thanks for the upload!
If this version is the new restoration then it is really worth it, the movie looks amazing
Same, it was either a 480p version with subtitles or a higher quality with out subtitles, I watched it for the first time a couple of days ago, now I cant wait to see it in a decent quality
I mean mosfilm has their old Russian channel and it’s about the same quality for the old upload in come and see
same it left me feeling sick. I have seen many movies about war and loss, but this one truly gets the message across.
same here
Here's a very interesting detail that I haven't seen discussed. At 50:08, you can see that Florya's reflection isn't his current self, but the one we see at the end of the movie. An omen of what's to come.

This is without doubt the greatest war film ever made .
Every WW2 or Vietnam vet I've met has always been so humble. Yet, every American military I run across today seems full of such hubris. Americans have the idea that they won WW2 all by themselves.
I saw this film on the BBC in about 1986 late at night i was 15 years old and it left such an impression on me ,i sat transfixed from beginning to end id never seen anything like it before ,and i have to say no other war film has eclipsed its visceral power or shocking epic scenes, the way Flera transforms from idealistic boy soldier to a broken aged shell of a person is devastating and very moving . A true classic in every sense .
im 15 too, finished watching it and now, now i would love to punch the guys in my class making fun of all of this in the face

@@seanhayes9769 Sounds like you watched it the same night I did Sean , As you say the uniforms and weapons all very authentic , Unbelievably they even used live ammo in some of the action scenes .
I've watched this movie many times. Was inspired to revisit it by the recent remake of All Quiet on the Western Front. I still feel that there has been no other movie to date that better captures the disarray and oppressive darkness of war. Those of us who've never lived through it will never quite understand, but a film like this certainly takes us closer than any Saving Private Ryan or Schindler's List ever could.
Schindler's List comes close to this, there's some really gut-wrenching scenes from that movie. It's less a film about war itself though and more a film about the Holocaust. _This_ film is definitely one of the best true _war_ films. Like Saving Private Ryan's a decent movie, but it falls into many of the war movie cliches. This film does not. The other film that captures the horrid nature of war is Grave of the Fireflies. It's an animated film, so many critics probably wouldn't consider it an "official" war film, but I still consider it necessary viewing.
This wasn't just a war. Even war has a few moments of etiquette, the Nazis were demons. Absolutely horrid beasts.
It was a low budget exploitation horror film, which is very different from the movies you mentioned, but you should definitely watch Men Behind the Sun. It has received much of its bad reception due to the graphic nature of many scenes, but the history it reflects is just that. You’ll only watch it once, though, I can guarantee that.

6:04 Surveillance plane catches them digging up weapons. I had watched this movie before, but didn’t get why the old man was warning them. Now watching again, I figured it out. Such a powerful film. 😢
Plane doesn't care about some kids digging a rifle. Extermination of villages was caused because of partisan groups fighting against Nazis in occupied territory. As a revenge Nazis ordered to kill all civilian population there.
I think this is Florr’s mind playing tricks on him. I don’t think the burned man was alive when Florr was hearing him. I think Florr found a way to blame himself for his village’s massacre. I don’t believe a spy plane would bother reporting grave diggers.
Mid film the old man told him that's why he warned them/him not to dig, while he was suffering with his burned skin.
Those who think Saving Private Ryan is the greatest WWII film ever made has NEVER seen this film.
I was devastated for days after seeing this. The fact that this atrocity happened over 600 times sickens me.
That movie has a ton of inaccuracies as well for hollywood effect. Very disappointing
It was the greatest war movie about the Americans on D-Day. This one is something else entirely.
Saving Private Ryan is sensationalist, self-congratulatory, Hollywood garbage

@@blueguy2128 Inaccuracies and effects, is it all what worries you? I read several sources and interviews, trying to assess how close this film depicted the reality, and the the hard conclusion is the reality was even worse. And it correlates in full with personal experiences as a kid listening to locals who survived the occupation and those who fought, including former partisans (some of them teachers at my school). Belorussia was hit hard, but it was so pretty much everywhere under german occupation. So, come and see.
Thank you for giving us all the opportunity to see this movie on youtube!
I’ve been wanting to watch this movie for years and 3 days ago today I finally had. I had to get a few drinks down me first before I watch the movie a 2nd time tonight but I feel a bit too drunk to do so. The best yet traumatising war movies I’ve watched
With great subtitles too
One of the few movies that legit terrified me during my first watch, a non horror movie that's just as scary as your average Hollywood horror flick. There's no cliche haunted house, no cliche creepy demon or spirits, no cliche killer in a weird mask. Just those who commit such heinous acts against those in a land that's not there's.
It’s been almost 24 hours since I first watched it and I’ve hardly said a word since then. I think Woody has noticed this already because I normally spend the whole day talking with him but I’ve not said a thing about this movie to him yet; Woody knows I’m very traumatised
My step grand father who is still alive today and was around 7 years old when the germans came to the krasnodar region just east of crimea, told me stories about the war. He talked about the hunger he experienced and how people of his village would go at night to the fields to collect food but were shot by the germans when they got caught. He also talked about how the romanian soldiers were acting even worse than the germans. His father was NKVD who was fighting in the war somewhere else at the time. One day somebody from his village snitched on him and his mother about his father and they were taken into a prisoner camp in crimea but got liberated by the soviet army later. He also when he grew older was a soldier in the soviet army and experienced the hungarian uprising first hand.
80+ years later when he told me these stories he still had a sad voice. Even now he still has the trauma of starvation and goes around hidding food from others. There isnt many people that experienced the horror of ww2 that are alive today, i am glad that i was able to hear these stories from somebody who has gone through it first hand.

This movie is beyond words. It encapsulates hell itself. The way that the film changes faces with lighting is insane. For example, Glasha at times is absolutely, STUNNINGLY beautiful in many scenes and then the lighting on her face changes and she literally looks like a snarling demon, without her saying a word or changing her facial expression. Like, for example, in the beginning of the film she is rather demure, hairnet over her hair. Then Florian sees her crying and initially sees a stunning beautiful girl, hair down, big blue eyes, hair like barley, smiling and laughing. Then, in an instant, when he asks her a question, her face (as she is luring him in to make a baby) is like a snarling demon awaiting prey. The film's name is "Come and See"..........for those who don't know, this is a quote from the bible from Revelations 6:7 "And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast [A SNARLING DEMON] say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.' Essentially this passage from the bible is saying that ALL of hell's WRATH was unleashed with this. I could not think of a better theme for Soviet Union 1943 for a film. This embodies EXACTLY what world war two was. This film is a masterpiece. It would probably rank in the top 10 horror films of all time.
I totally regretted watching come and see at night because I ended up with nightmares that ended in tragic way. Every time I slept, I just hear haunting screams of those who died in the real war and I’ve actually wanted them back a few times
Этот фильм прекрасно передает оккупацию белорусской сср, и все ужасы того времени. НО он не передает и 1% того АДА в котором пребывали Народы СССР, бессчётное количество убитых и калек, уничтоженная инфраструктура, Абсолютная демографическая Катастрофа!

I just saw this movie for the first time. I just heard about its existence last night and i have to say it is THE BEST AND AT THE SAME TIME SCARIEST FILM I'VE EVER SEEN! The acting and filming were done to perfection. A work of pure cinematic genius. And honestly i will never get the sound of that whistle when that poor girl walks up to Flyora out of my head. But that is what the movie so horrific is the fact that it was all so real! Elim Klimov and everyone else involved did an amazing job of bringing the story of Nazi war atrocities to life.

If you're thinking the actor's hair is looking grey towards the end, apparently this was real. His hair actually turned grey during filming because of the stress it put on him. He also said that some of the real bullets used were whizzing past about 10cm above his head and the director also took him to a hypnotist so that filming didn't break his young mind, however unfortunately he wasn't susceptible to hypnotism so it didn't work.
His acting throughout this film is just incredible, I doubt anyone in Hollywood could replicate the realistic look of sheer fear and horror he can put on. It's insane how much he changes throughout the movie too; towards the end he's unrecognisable to how he looked at the start.
After I finished the film, I went back to the shot of his face when he's headed off to join the partisans - the big grin he holds while the recruiters are talking (13:00). The decision the filmmakers made to hold those portrait shots... incredible.
I was absolutely wondering how this impacted the actor, thank you for sharing those facts!
I'm not denying what the actor went through to film this, but they dyed his hair to make it more silver/grey
Oh come off it mate lmfao. Get real.
As intersting as this would be, these are myths: His hair was coloured grey and he was perfectly fine after filming.
@@arsxnavlt Definitely a myth, however it apparently DID remain grey/silver for some time after filming due to the paint used.
From Wiki "Contrary to what some rumors suggest, though, Kravchenko's hair did not turn permanently grey. In fact, a special Silver Interference Grease-Paint, alongside a thin layer of actual silver, was used to dye his hair. This made it difficult to get his hair back to normal, so Kravchenko had to live with his hair like this for some time after shooting the film."
This is the most profound movie I have ever seen. This is the single greatest film I have ever seen. This movie exposes the true horror that was WWII in a way no other film could or probably will again. Thank you to those who created this amazing film!
Come and See is the only war movie to give me true nightmares besides United 93 has. I don’t know how the hell Floyra will cope without me now and I don’t think he’ll never get over that I had died so quickly. It’s going to be so horrible for him I just know it unless he gets back with Glasha but I think Floyra would refuse it because she looks just like me and I was the love of his life.

I'm Albanian, my grandmother was born in 1938, my grandfather was 8 years older than her, i love them, the fact that they experienced these horrors physically irritates me.
They didn't. The worst that ever happened during that war happened in the Soviet Union.
@@petmarina That is incredibly ignorant of you. In ww2 there wasn't a "worst ever" there were horrors everywhere, Poland, Czech republic, China... keep in my mind it wasn't just the Axis powers butchering people.

Not to even mention the horrors of Enver Hoxha, which turned Albania into an European north Korea (not exaggerating, this is how historians actually describe it)
So yeah, they didn't have an easy life whatsoever, I'm lucky i was born this late.
So, yeah, they saw fascism, a front against Greece, just to witness the Germano-Italian collapse, just to then witness the Communist takeover of Albania, just to witness mass starvation, and then to witness the collapse of said communist Albania, to where we are today
@@lollllolll. Trust me, my Austrian Grandfather saw worse, especially when the Soviets arrived in Vienna and Vienna was very war- torn, my Bulgarian Grandfather lived through Communism and was sick for a long Time. My family hides from me a lot as they are anti- communist and anti- fascist to the end. I know that many Albanians want Hoxha back, but many I peag for the Albanian people.
I feel like I just walked into a war in real time. Like I took a Time Machine that spit me out at that moment and I am watching the whole war unfold in front of my own eyes in real time.
Both of my parents are from Belarus. They saw the horror taking place in their hometown of Smolensk. During WWII, the SS army's encirclement of small towns and villages torched homes of men, women, children, and wounded soldiers inside their homes. If they tried to jump out of the windows, they were greeted with machine guns and rifles. After my parents saw what the SS soldiers were doing to their town, they decided to flee with my two oldest baby sisters; unfortunately, my parents did not get too far. They were caught by the SS and shipped to Dachau, Nuremberg Labor camps. My parents barely survived the horror, but my oldest baby sisters were starved and poisoned, and tens of thousands of children in the daycare under Nazi women's supervision were starved and poisoned. Arsenic was poured into the food, water, and milk a few days before the war was over. Those prisoners that ate and drank water or milk died. They saw many Nazi collaborators as guards. Ukrainians, Lithuanians, Estonians, and from other countries as well, they treated the prisoners rough and ugly.
My parents hardly smiled while I was growing up. Mom told me about my two oldest baby sisters when I was six years old. I was a mature six years old. Mom told me all of the details of who, when, why, and where? Not a day goes by that I do not think of my two oldest baby sisters. I still cry.

@@deejayrodion Thank you kindly. Your words mean a great deal to me and my family. Greatly appreciated.
After the camps were set free, my parents carried their lifeless baby daughters feeling, the devastation and the excruciating pain, they walked for over 5 kilometers to find a place where to bury their loving daughters. My parents found a cabin near the forest whose owner was an elderly woman, who was kind enough to give, my dad some wood, rusty nails, and a shovel to build a small box to place both daughters in and find a place deep in Nuremberg Forrest to bury, their daughters. My oldest baby sister was two and a half years old and my youngest sister was 9 months old. It's still painful when I think about it and wondered where their remains might be. The Forrest no longer exists. No idea what was built in the Nuremberg Forrest after the war.
I was born many years after the war in another country. Dad passed away in 1996 and my mom in 2000. Blessings.
@@jiffyyoyo6253 Both of my parents are from Belarus. They saw the horror taking place in their hometown of Smolensk.🤦🤦♂🤦♀
@@nuttyNat Hello Natasha . My mother was from Smolensk, and my father was from Minks. I am sure your parents shared their side of the story with you. You'll be surprised how many people do not believe these happened, especially Nazi supporters.
Unfortunately, it is far too rare to see the grimmest/most important realities of war portrayed on film, but "Come and See" succeeds and becomes an eternal accomplishment of true art.
First time watching. Just finished. I have no words...
Many thoughts and feelings, but none I can express at this time...
Wow...
The ending was absolutely the hardest most moving part of the movie . 😪
SPOILER ALERT : ⚠️
Seeing this young boys face with wrinkles & just the look of pure pain & exhaustion a far cry from the look of his face in the beginning of the film tells you everything you need to know about how brutal war is and what it does to people.
And him shooting at the picture of Hitler than realizing how this evil man even with all the evil he's created & caused was also once a innocent baby. And when you're faced with the thought of hurting a child even if the child grows up to be evil you can't bring you're self to hurt them
In the end, he accepted destiny and that you can not change history. He did not think of Hitler innocence when sparing the shot. Hurting a innocent child is not what really matters in the scene.
He realizes he can not erase history, so he does not keep shooting.
I feel like it's not that as Flor realised hitler was once an innocent child that he stopped firing, but more that as hitler was once innocent, so Flor is. And it's refusing to give in to the hatred that would separate himself from hitler. Flor realised and chose not to become the very thing he was fighting against.
@@millenyon8665 no
@@millenyon8665 is more than that, is accepting fatality.
The performance the protaganist gave in this movie should be up there with the best acting of all time. His facial expressions in various scenes just really set the tone throughout the movie
What I find even more impressing is the fact that, at the time of filming, Aleksei Kravchenko was only 14, and Come and See was his first ever role. He did go on to become a professional actor after a 15 year-long hiatus later iirc.
This was the only movie I've ever had to intentionally pause for a break
Yep, I literally feared of becoming very traumatised. I had my moments where I randomly flipped out and almost hurt my Woody in the process but I’ve held back a few times. Woody knows how deeply affected I am from the war and he’s attempted to help me many times but Come and See’s Floyra helps now.
this film helps to remember that we should never glorify war, which is the representation of hell
Well said
This one snuck up on me. I wasn't expecting such realism. The central character, the boy in this film, his performance was absolutely riveting. Truly a hidden gem.
One of the most realistic war films of all time
U mean antiwar movie in my opinion its the best.
@@Mrbimmer11 well yes as it accurately depicts what war is
@@cooljackster7390 Not really. Its obviously "dream horror" like Apocalypse Now. Plus, The bad guys in the movie were in real life horribly sadistic because it was a divison of freaks (Dirlwanger Brigade/Division). People need to keep that in mind.
@@nakedfreak1 yes, because again, this is fiction fuelled by nightmares. It's like asking PTSD ridden vets to make a realistic movie about D-Day.
@@nakedfreak1 no
This boy is such a great actor. His expressions are spot on. Such an heart breaking movie
the most exhausting film I've ever seen...it's so taxing on the heart and soul, just the feeling of sinking deeper and deeper into yourself. nothing I've seen comes close to the experience here. existential dread.
To complete my degree of my Minor in History I had to watch this movie as a final for one of my Russian history classes, the professor then made us write a paper on it. This was several years back and I never forgot it, never will. Powerful movie
I do not know the words to describe my feelings after watching that great film.
Shocking ?
Why did I waste my time should be your words
@@stevenmason8993 yeah yeah, go watch your action-packed transformers world war 3 michael bay shit. this is true cinema.
@@militaristica films like this does not get produced anymore
@@stevenmason8993 People such are yourself are the reason modern cinema is a festering heap of commercial vapidity.
As a Belarusian, it hurts to know what my people had been through. Never let it happen again!
Жыве Беларусь
Your southern neighbours want to do it
Russia is trying to prevent just that
And yet belarussia is the new Germany.
My coworker here in the states is from Russia his entire family past his parents were wiped out in ww2
@Jeff-sp7bg vladimir Putin's grandmother AND uncle were killed by German soldiers. Ancient history this is not. Russia WILL NOT allow that to happen again and I don't blame them
A masterpiece of cinema - Every aspect of this film is truly awesome. It shows accurately what the Nazi's did to other human beings in pursuit of their twisted and evil ideology.
I have never viewed a film that made me feel as horrified and heart-sick. We have all watched war movies, but nothing like this. I am trying to put into words the effect this film has had on me, but my mind is blown and my soul is weeping.
Saving Pvt. Ryan is a Saturday morning cartoon compared to this film. The young actor that played the part of Flor was hands down the best performance I have ever seen, bar none, full stop, period. I will carry the full weight of this film with me for the rest of my life.
@@pezvonpez
I was shaking for days after first seeing it, I wasn’t myself and every time I’m told to talk to Mummy, I start having an anxiety attack and then I suddenly break down
The story of this movie hits me very close, my great-grandma was a 7 year old girl in Belarus at the time when the story in this movie is set, her mother died of a horrible sickness and her father died in the war, the only person she had left was her stepmother, one day when she was taking her horse out to be on the pasture, a German soldier came out of nowhere and shot the horse and then started shooting at my great-grandma, my great-grandma hid in a ditch while the soldier continued shooting because it felt amusing for him, as she was scared the soldier was just laughing like he was enjoying what he was doing, eventually he got bored and left, later my grandma came back to the village to find that all the civilians have been lined up on the street, first, the nazis shot all the Jewish residents and buried them all, some were still alive and screamed for help from the ground, after that the Germans burned the village and forced the rest of the people to run into the forest while driving tanks into them, my great-grandma's brother was so psychologically harmed by this that he eventually ran at the tanks because he wanted all this to end, luckily someone picked him up and stopped him before he got killed, my great-grandma survived the rest of the war but she had trauma for the rest of her life and never stopped hating Germans, she passed away in 2017, I have to admit, I always hated fascism but now that I saw this movie I hate it even more.
I am literally lost for words 🤐 I cannot imagine such a suffering 💔 what is wrong with mankind 😭😭I sincerely hope that you are doing well ❤❤

@Bilal sajid bro what 💀
@@bilalsajid1021 what is actually wrong with you?
This is an incredible piece of cinema. So powerful, I will never forget this film and the effect it had on me.
So great that many young people get to see and appreciate this film. For many, this is their first encounter with Soviet cinema. I just like to point out for them, that the director, Elem Klimov had made another masterpiece before this. It is a very different kind of film, a comedy, but just as daring. It is called 'Dobro pozhalovat' (Welcome, No Tresspassing). It is the greatest satire about the Soviet Union made in the Soviet Union.
A brutally honest film with some great scenes and great acting. More true to life than anything put out by most of Hollywood. At times hard to watch but must be to remember what happened so we will not make the same mistakes. I hope.
Come on man, more true to life than Saving Private Ryan? Really?
@@jarraandyftm Yes.
@@maryvallettakeith6146 codswallop.
@@jarraandyftm yes
@@jarraandyftm Extremely more. Nothing holds a candle to this. It's raw. It's honest. And we'll probably never see a film like this ever again.
Thank you for posting this in HD quality with English subtitles. I was able to play this in my Modern History class and the students got a lot out of it. This is one of those films everybody should see at least once.
