    Come and See

    ★★★★★

    Come and see is a great but brutal anti-war movie.

    The third act is where it truly becomes a harrowing story showing the horrors of war.

    Great cinematography showing the trauma and anguish of the main character by use of several close up shots showing the complete despair of the main character.


    Moazart's Lacramosa being used at the end of the film as the Partisans walk through the forest was and is one of my favourite endings in film, it is the true definition of cinematic perfection.

    Really is a beautiful film, especially when you're watching it from a different view point.

    This film is just frustrating, no child should be burdened with so much responsibility.

    Being abandoned by their mother and being forced to fend for themselves Akira taking on the role of provider trying to feed and look after his younger siblings, really heartbreaking seeing how bad things go so quickly.

    There's one time in the film where Akira meets some children his own age at an arcade and for a short while he was actually able to be a…

    ★★★

    I'm quite a fan of the creepypasta, but I felt this was a pretty mediocre adaption mostly due to its low budget, subpar acting and horrible accents, but a fun watch nonetheless.
