  • Soviet war movies have that special “let’s go for the most massive scenes we can make” thing. “Liberation” (1971) has absolutely insane scenes where hundreds of soldiers, tanks and artillery pieces were mobilized to recreate WW2 battles, some in their historic places. They even went as far as building replicas of German WW2 tanks because they couldn’t find working original ones, they also used post-WW2 tanks but this is normal for the time, like in the movie “Patton”, the Germans in Africa are using Patton tanks painted with German markings lol.

    In Liberation they paid HUGE attention to uniforms and the actors themselves, Stalin looks like Stalin, Rokossovsky looks like Rokossovsky, Hitler looks like Hitler, Mussolini looks like Mussolini, Zhukov looks like Zhukov. The russians speak Russian and the germans speak German, it’s amazing how well it is done.

    That movie covers a lot of WW2, even Tito and Vlasov make an appearance, it’s just brilliant.
