Movie Reviews of Bastards / Svolochi - (Russian Import - PAL DVD)

Movie Review: Not a kids Drty Dozen!
Summary: 5 Stars

FANTASTIC! I was expecting a sort of foreign kids Dirty Dozen with wooden acting. The kids were great, the adults were sympathetic, and the action was used only when necessary. This movie has SOUL. I highly recommend this to any WWII History class. The movie would appear to be one of those that could not have been made before the breakup of the Soviet Union because of the digs the movie makes at the failure of the socialist system to give aide to the outcasts of society, as well as the treatment of non-conformists within the adult community. At the same time, it maintains the Russian tradition seen in My Name is Ivan, of glorifying the individual soldier rather than well known heroes. The only drawback is at the end, the voice-overs from the kids were not subtititled. The DVD extras were not subtitiled either but it was interesting watching the boys acting like all boys do while in between shooting scenes.

The movie does not hit you over the head with sentimentality but I found myself crying at the end. Please give this movie a look. You can watch it in horror at the depressing conditions and situations or view it with appreciation at the love and commradary soldiers ultimatly share with one another.
