Erfahrene Hasen des Geschwaders

This movie is about war! Our war, that killed 30 million people. It is about love. Love which does have country borders or nationalism! It is about soviet heroes, who died letting us live. Who died fighting against Hitler! There is no Soviet propaganda, which makes it suitable for any generation and for any person. The main idea is people. Their relationships, their dreams, their believes, their sacrifice and tears. This movie let you think about war. It wont show you physical pain, it will show you inner grief. Watch it and think twice voting for people who start wars, who says that your nation is better, who let people die!

for the music. for the nuances of story. for the human map of Soviet Union. for the status of image of essence of friendship, love, sacrifice and courage. for the humor. and for the force to give, after forty decades, a fresh story, an admirable cast. each of that details does it more than entertainment's support. it is almost a testimony about great themes of life in a delicate-precise manner. a film about courage and about choices. few memorable scenes. and splendid music. a film about war. exploring its nuances in inspired manner. because, like many films from Soviet Union, the war is the lead actor. so, the sides of it are subjects who defines the existences, choices, sacrifices, emotions and reflections of the other characters. a film who must see. for the music, for the acting, for the script, for the fragments from old documentaries. but, more important, maybe, for the atmosphere.

This is my favorite film about the Great Patriotic War. First, the plot is based on the stories of veterans, many episodes took place in fact at different stages of the war. In addition, most of the characters have real prototypes. The plot masterfully includes both comic and funny moments, as well as moments when tears appear on their own. Secondly, the cast is incredible, when you watch them, you believe them unconditionally. Third, the music is an important part of the film, and the song "Smuglyanka" has long been popular. In short, this is one of the best films about the war.

A good film about the sacrifices and stories of the Soviet Air Force in WWII. This saga of the struggle on the Eastern Front is truly one that will impress for decades to come. I regret that I had to finish the movie in a hurry, but I had a great time. I don't know if it was because of my affections towards the Soviet people during WWII, but I definitely won't forget them like the Western media. A great struggle like this deserves a great movie as a monument.

It's a movie about the Great Patriotic War and the life of Soviet war pilots, who died for their motherland. The cast is great. We watch this movie every year and it doesn't become less interesting.

I think it's one of the best not only Soviet but world movies of all time.
