I tried my best to block all positive and negative expectations out of my mind, so that I could watch the film with an open mind and form my own opinions. The people of Finland, me included, had high expectations for the third film adaptation of Väinö Linna's novel Tuntematon Sotilas (The Unknown Soldier), boldly made by celebrated Finnish director Aku Louhimies for the 100-year anniversary of Finland's independence.

The movie we saw was just over 2 hours while it is actually 3 hours long but theatres here thought it would be way too long and not attract enough audience. Just to make it clear, the movie in swedish theatres was cut shorter so there are some scenes I haven't seen yet.
This movie was grim, with a lot of feelings, pain, But it felt intelligent somehow. Walking over your fellow sodier's body that just got shot in the head and the camera is not looking away. We usually do not see this vournable side. Not just explosion everywhere but the camera showing us the soldiers' fear and their deaths and letting us see that. I very much enjoyed the fact that the war scenes had alot of realistic deaths in it. This movie has no gloryfication, it showed loss on both side and the horrible sides of war. There was raw emotions and alot of sadness in it, picturing the war as close as it was. This kind of movie was very new to me since im not used to this kind of realistic film. I enoyed this film very much, i saw it in the theatres here in Sweden.
