Кадр из фильма «Иди и смотри»
👍3111🔥6🥰2😁1🤮1
I have seen this Soviet movie at least 50 times. I saw it first in the mid 1980's, when it first was released, on VHS cassette, with English subnoscripts. I have shown it to many friends and comrades in the years since, and watched it with them each time. One of the greatest, most powerful, most important films ever made (Top 10) and THE best war movie ever made. You don't know shit about Russia or nazis, or who or why we fight, if you have not seen this film. You can see it here, with English subnoscripts -

Я видел этот советский фильм не менее 50 раз. Впервые я увидел его в середине 1980-х, когда он впервые был выпущен на кассете VHS с английскими субтитрами. С тех пор я показывал его многим друзьям и товарищам и каждый раз смотрел вместе с ними. Один из величайших, самых сильных, самых важных фильмов, когда-либо созданных (10 лучших), и САМЫЙ лучший фильм о войне, когда-либо созданный. Вы ни хрена не знаете ни о России, ни о нацистах, ни о ком и почему мы воюем, если не видели этот фильм. Посмотреть можно здесь, с английскими субтитрами.

Фильм «Иди и смотри» нам показали в армии. Во время просмотра, в самом начале, как и всегда, солдаты принялись комментировать фрагменты и героев ленты. Отпускали весёлые реплики. Шутки были ровно до того места, когда на экране задёргался широко раскрытый от ужаса глаз коровы, простреленной трассерами. В зале повисла тягостная тишина. Думается, животное не пожалели на съёмках. Было видно, как пули прошивают её. Это была смерть. Нам намерено показали. И мы это увидели.

Когда фильм закончился, все также молча, гремя сапогами, вышли из кинозала, опустив головы. Сказать, что были потрясены - ничего не сказать. Что говорить, про тех, кто видел это воочию.

17 октября 1985 года в советский кинопрокат вышел фильм Элема Климова «Иди и смотри».

Повествование режиссера:

- Я несколько раз перечитал книгу «Я из огненной деревни» - документальные свидетельства людей, чудом переживших ужасы фашистского геноцида в Белоруссии. Многие из них тогда были ещё живы, и некоторые рассказы-воспоминания белорусам удалось зафиксировать на киноплёнку. Никогда не забуду лицо, глаза одного крестьянина, его тихий-тихий рассказ о том, как всю их деревню загнали в церковь и перед сожжением офицер из зондеркоманды предложил: «Кто без детей, выходи». И он не выдержал, вышел, оставив внутри жену и маленьких детишек… Как сожгли, например, другую деревню: взрослых всех согнали в амбар, а детей оставили. А потом, пьяные, окружили их с овчарками и позволили собакам рвать детей.

Я тогда задумался: а ведь про Хатынь в мире не знают!

И я решил снять фильм об этой трагедии. Прекрасно понимал, что фильм получится жёсткий. Решил при этом, что исполнителем центральной роли деревенского паренька Флёры будет не профессиональный актёр, который при погружении в тяжёлую роль мог бы защититься психологически наработанной актёрской техникой, мастерством. Я хотел найти простого мальчика лет четырнадцати. Его надо было готовить к сложнейшим переживаниям, потом зафиксировать их на плёнку. И в то же время защитить его от стрессов (эта система психологической защиты была подробно разработана со специалистами), чтобы не в дурдом его после съёмок сдать, а маме живым и здоровым вернуть. К счастью, с Лёшей Кравченко, сыгравшим в итоге Флёру и ставшим впоследствии хорошим актёром, всё прошло благополучно.

Я понимал, что это будет очень жестокий фильм и вряд ли кто-нибудь сможет его смотреть. Я сказал об этом соавтору сценария - белорусскому писателю Алесю Адамовичу. Но он ответил: «Пусть не смотрят. Мы должны это оставить после себя. Как свидетельство войны, как мольбу о мире».

Работа над картиной началась. У Климова снималось много непрофессионалов - пожилых людей, крестьян, помнивших войну. Съёмочная группа работала как раз в тех местах, где всё это в войну и происходило. Климов признавался потом, что ему страшно жаль было этих людей, которым по его воле приходилось вновь переживать этот ужас. Как-то снимали сцену сожжения деревни. Массовку - местных жителей - согнали в амбар. Но нужного накала эмоций никак не удавалось добиться. И тогда кто-то из актёров, игравших немцев, дал очередь холостыми в воздух. И тут же из амбара раздался такой человеческий вой, сымитировать который было бы не под силу ни одному актёру…

Наверное, кого-то раздражал фильм «Иди и смотри», его «шоковая терапия». А вот немцы говорили: «Это мы должны были снять такой фильм!» Сам Климов так вспоминал о реакции немецких зрителей: «Как-то на одном из обсуждений фильма встал пожилой немец и сказал: «Я солдат вермахта. Больше того - офицер вермахта. Я прошёл всю Польшу, Белоруссию, дошёл до Украины. Я свидетельствую: всё рассказанное в этом фильме - правда. И самое страшное и стыдное для меня - что этот фильм увидят мои дети и внуки».

Oleg Tsarev -

The film "Come and See" was shown to us in the army. During the viewing, at the very beginning, as always, the soldiers began to comment on the fragments and heroes of the tape. They made funny remarks. The jokes went right up to the point where the eye of a cow shot with tracers, wide open in horror, twitched on the screen. There was a heavy silence in the hall. It seems that the animal was not spared on the set. You could see the bullets piercing through it. It was death. We were shown on purpose. And we saw it.

When the film ended, everyone also silently, rattling their boots, left the cinema hall with their heads down. To say we were shocked is an understatement. What can I say about those who saw it with their own eyes.

On October 17, 1985, Elem Klimov's film "Come and See" was released in the Soviet cinema.

Director's narration:

- I re-read the book “I am from a fiery village” several times - documentary evidence of people who miraculously survived the horrors of the fascist genocide in Belarus. Many of them were still alive at that time, and the Belarusians managed to capture some stories-memoirs on film. I will never forget the face, the eyes of one peasant, his quiet, quiet story about how their entire village was herded into a church and, before being burned, an officer from the Sonderkommando suggested: “Who without children, come out.” And he could not stand it, he went out, leaving his wife and little children inside ... As they burned, for example, another village: the adults were all herded into a barn, but the children were left. And then, drunk, they surrounded them with sheep dogs and allowed the dogs to tear the children.

I then thought: but the world does not know about Khatyn!

And I decided to make a film about this tragedy. I knew perfectly well that the film would be tough. At the same time, I decided that the performer of the central role of the village boy Fleura would not be a professional actor who, when immersed in a difficult role, could defend himself with a psychologically developed acting technique and skill. I wanted to find a simple boy of about fourteen. He had to be prepared for the most difficult experiences, then fix them on film. And at the same time, protect him from stress (this system of psychological protection was developed in detail with specialists), so that he would not be sent to a madhouse after filming, but returned to his mother alive and healthy. Fortunately, with Lyosha Kravchenko, who eventually played Fleur and later became a good actor, everything went well.

I understood that it would be a very violent film and hardly anyone would be able to watch it. I told the co-author of the noscript, the Belarusian writer Ales Adamovich, about this. But he replied: “Let them not look. We must leave this behind. As evidence of war, as a plea for peace."

Work on the painting has begun. Klimov filmed a lot of non-professionals - elderly people, peasants who remembered the war. The film crew worked just in those places where all this happened during the war. Klimov later admitted that he was terribly sorry for these people, who, by his will, had to relive this horror. Once filmed the scene of the burning of the village. Extras - local residents - were herded into a barn. But the desired intensity of emotions could not be achieved. And then one of the actors who played the Germans fired a burst of blanks into the air. And right there, from the barn, such a human howl was heard, which could not be imitated by any actor ...

Probably, someone was annoyed by the film "Come and See", his "shock therapy". But the Germans said: “We should have made such a film!” Klimov himself recalled the reaction of German viewers: “Once, at one of the discussions of the film, an elderly German stood up and said:“ I am a Wehrmacht soldier. More than that - an officer of the Wehrmacht. I went through all of Poland, Belarus, reached Ukraine. I testify that everything told in this film is true. And the most terrible and shameful thing for me is that my children and grandchildren will see this film.”

Oleg Tsarev war report for 9 May. The first sentence is the most important, and 100% for real.

"Front-line summary (https://news.1rj.ru/str/olegtsarov/6081) May 9

Artyomovsk. PMC WAGNER DID NOT GET THE PROMISED AMMUNITION. Prigozhin said that HIMARS rockets flew into the facility where the Ukrainian prisoners were. According to preliminary data, no one died. Reminds me of the shelling of the colony in Yelenovka, where the Ukrainians cleared the prisoners from Mariupol. It is also reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are “tearing the flanks” in the Artyomovsk direction and will soon launch a counteroffensive in this area. The whole country is waiting for Wagner shells.

Avdiivka. On the left flank of the salient at Krasnogorovka and Novobakhmutovka, there is fighting, more artillery than ground attacks.

Ugledar. The line is unchanged, but this direction looks like another direction of a possible APU strike. Serious reserves are in the Gulyai-Pole area, it will be convenient to send them here.

Lugansk front. The Armed Forces of Ukraine, with the support of artillery, attacked in the Olshan area. Some report that the enemy has advanced, others that our attack has been repulsed. I would like to believe the latter, while they report from the field about the risks for our units in Gorobyevka, Tavolzhanka and Dvurechny if the success of the Armed Forces develops.

In the south, no change. Control over the left bank of the Dnieper is ours. There is a struggle for control of the islands. There were regular attempts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to approach the islands in the Kherson region - ours fired at all 7 boats, the survivors sailed away.

Another powerful shelling of the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine took place at night. Our side reports the defeat of military facilities in the Dnepropetrovsk and Kharkov regions, where the reserves of the Ukrainian army are being drawn. In addition to cruise missiles, about 40 Geraniums were launched. The enemy side reports that out of 25 cruise missiles fired, 15 were allegedly shot down. Where ours ended up is not reported. We also shot down a Ukrainian Su-27 in the Izyum area.

At night, over Valuyki, Belgorod Region, our air defense shot down a Ukrainian Tochka U missile. Surprisingly, there are no reports of other acts of sabotage in Russia. Let it be so.

Meanwhile, the UK is apparently preparing to supply Ukraine with Storm Shadow missiles with a range of up to 300 km. So far, the wording is rather vague, the timing and volumes are also unknown, but channels from the other side of the front write that American intelligence has confirmed this intention of Great Britain. It is also allegedly about sending British personnel to assist in targeting. And the government of the Netherlands continues to discuss with NATO partners the possibility of transferring F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine.

Prime Minister of Ukraine Shmygal said that the offensive will begin immediately, when everything is absolutely ready. This is an important matter, they are preparing very carefully, as they must demonstrate success to society, partners, the whole world and the enemy, that is, us. At the same time, Podolyak said that the counter-offensive is not one battle that will decide everything, but a series of events, the main task of which is to “zero the morale and strong-willed spirit of the Russians.” In other words, the Ukrainian authorities are trying to get out of the trap into which they have driven themselves, by raising the expectation of an offensive to the limit both in Ukraine and in the West. They understand that the absence of an offensive, the absence of bright victories can cause acute disappointment. Now Kyiv is on the splits: you can start an offensive now and lose everything - you can drag it out and lose for the reason that disappointment will come in the West, which will lead to a cessation of supplies and funding.

It is a holiday today. We celebrate the Victory of our great ancestors. May God grant us to be worthy of them. May God let us celebrate our Victory. And God forbid that the war does not drag on and everything ends quickly.

==========================
By the way, few people remember, but on May 9, 1945, not only Stalin addressed the Soviet people on the radio. Clementine Churchill, the wife of the British Prime Minister, spoke from the same radio studio on the same day.
She said: “I send you heartfelt greetings on the occasion of the brilliant victory that you won in driving the invaders from your land and defeating Nazi tyranny ... Here in our island homeland, today we think of you very often, and we send you from deepest wishes of our hearts for happiness and well-being."
Meanwhile, in her "island fatherland", her husband was already preparing a plan for an insidious attack on the Red Army in Europe... { "FHM" - Texas}

Yes, it is confirmed. He was a great Commander and a real Patriot. He was a company commander in VOSTOK and 11th Infantry, served in Spartak and Avdeevka. I joined him in Avdeevka and made a video report from there in 2016. He will be missed. I will have more info soon. Rest in Peace, Brother.
