seige on Leningrad
It's been a little while since I saw a great war movie, and yesterday the wait was over! I discovered a Russian release from 2009 called "Siege on Lenigrad"...a film where the russians spoke russian, germans spoke german, and the english spoke, you know, english.
Mira Sorvino was the lead actor, and she portrayed a british war reporter who got left behind while reporting on the front at Leningrad in 1941.
I won't carry on about this or that, and somehow spoil the film for anyone, i'll just say that this film was different from the ordinary ww2 film, because the heroes were not soldiers, but it portrayed the strength and courage of the woman in Leningrad, including the war reporter...pure and total sacrifice at the most personal level was the message if you ask me.
something that get's lost in time as we inch further and further ahead from those distant memories left deep in the social conscience of our modern world.
