CDR Salamander – Must. Find. English. Subtitles. DVD …..

Tired of CGI, big budgets, anachranistic love side-stories, and political undertones of modern American military films?…

Best thing about watching Tali-Ihantala is that you get to watch a different type of war movie after a while. The old school movie mandatorily adds women and children to plotwise useless roles to create the so called drama, but in Tali-Ihantala you get no Rambos, no cheese, no political ubercorrectness and nothing else but just war as it realistically should be, within production limitations of course…

Another film Tali-Ihantala is very close to is the “Longest Day”, although the Soviet Union side is only shown as the enemy and only Finns will have any dialogue. The strenghts of the movie include fact that every main character has a historical counterpart [amazing: they didn't insert a nonexistent American to save the day?!], and a lot of authentic equipment was used in the making. The weaknesses are the limited production resources but every actor seem to do his best regardless of how amateur he is.

If Phib finds the subtitled version, I’ll totally watch it too. And yeah, what’s with all the videos today?
