IHRE BEWERTUNG
Children of War (2014)
Would you go to war for peace?

A boy his sister and his father's word.
A liberal patriotic journalist.
A beautiful disaster.

A war child's search for acceptance...
His cry for justice...
and a nation inundated in blood!

In one of the many mind-numbing images in this exceptionally vivid work on the wages of war, the back of a truck is  jolted open and out falls a tumble of women one on top of another at a Pakistani prisoner camp for Bangladeshi women run by a despicable tyrant who could be the Nazi mass murder  Ralph  Fiennes in Steven SpielbergÂ’s SchindlerÂ’s List.

But no. ItÂ’s Pavan Malhotra, brilliantly evil and slimy as the man who believes that if Pakistani soldiers  rape and impregnate enough Bangaldeshi women  , the separatists and  freedom fighters would stop dreaming of their own home-land.

This is the irrational,  blood-soaked ravaged Pakistan of 1971 when Bangladesh was born out of the most horrific violence perpetrated against humanity.

Very often as I watched debutant director Mrityunjay DevvratÂ’s stunning film I was reminded  of the great anti-Nazi films, like Alan PakulaÂ’s SophieÂ’s Choice ,Richard AttenboroughÂ’s A Bridge Too Far , and Quentin TarantinoÂ’s Inglorious Basterds. I  was also reminded of Nandita DasÂ’s Firaaq about GujaratÂ’s 2002 genocide where a truckload of corpses had tumbled out. The difference is,the women who fall from the truck like trash from a garbage van in Children Of War are alive.
 
They might as well be dead. There are visuals and sounds of pain and anguish in this turbulent treatise on one of historyÂ’s worst atrocities that will stay with me forever.

It is impossible to believe that this war epic has been directed by a first-time filmmaker.How can a virgin artiste conceive such a vivid portrait of the rape of a civilization?

This isnÂ’t really a film. ItÂ’s a work of art, tempestuous and terrific.

Yes, this is a masterpiece.

    A film haunting you for days

    I have seen CHILDREN OF WAR and stayed captivated, focused on it. it took me days to get rid of the atmosphere of the film. I am shamed I didn't know anything about the History of the birth of Bangladesh, about these 400 000 ladies raped for months. It is very violent, but not really ON the screen, everything is suggested, i was touched deeply about the story of these ladies i couldn't sleep for days. I think the world should learn about this. In 1971, the U.S was in the Hippies movement, dancing, taking drugs, enjoying life while such horrible things where happening! The director was able to mix delicateness & violence, hope & desperation, cruelty & love. It is a master piece movie, a kind of film that gives all its nobles to what we call CINEMA as an ART: transcending, informing, transporting to Human deep philosophical questions. Thanks to all this great team to have been able to achieve such a great film! (sorry my English is not so good as i am a french citizen)

    A Dark Masterpiece

    "A dark masterpiece"! That is all what I can say about this movie. A ruthless, cruel, violent graphical depiction of the almost forgotten 1971 genocide happened in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) by Pakistani Army where almost 3 million people were killed and 4 lakh women were raped. It is hard to believe this is Mrityunjay Devvrat's debut film! This movie is not for the faint hearted, the "A" really means something here. Forget about the other horrific torture on human being, sudden scenes like two pakistani soldiers are casually shooting cows as they loose a bet or the captured women prisoners are thrown out from the trucks like unused materials will send shiver down your spine. It is unthinkable how absolute power can bring us down so low and human can perform such unthinkable acts to other fellow human being in the name of country, religion, language. I have never seen such brutal and explicit depiction of rape after "Bandit Queen", a weapon used by pakistani Army to destroy the morale of common men. Indranil, Raima,Tilottoma were OK, Victor was impressive in a small role and Farooq Seiq was very good as an undercover leader of one of the Muktiyodha(Freedom figher) gang. RIP Farooq Seikh sir, we will miss you. However for me the superstars were Rafiq and his sister Kausar (I forgot to note their actual names, sorry about that), the protective brother and elder sister, what a performance they have given! And yes, Pavan malhotra as the cruel Pakistani general is really outstanding, he, in some cases reminded me of Stoph Waltz who played the infamous SS Col. Hans Landa in the movie "Inglorious Basterds". In the movie we have three stories running in parallel (Raima-Indranil, a journalist and his wife whose lives were massacred by the Pak army, a brother and sister who are the only survivors in their village and Victor who is trying to lead his villagers to a safe place and of course the freedom movement) which finally will merge. The background score was also fine. This movie is not for the masses, so it will definitely not do a good business in box office, but certainly will be appreciated in many forums. 8/10 from me.

    a must watch

    The story unfolds the dark pages of history Most of it unknown to the new gen Compelling - A must watch Set in the 1970s, the film follows three separate stories during the Bangladesh War, during which time thousands of women were raped and millions of people were killed. As the film progresses towards its climax, the three stories begin to intertwine with one another This movie is an attempt to bring out the ugly truth about the war. It is an expression of the double standards of bystanders and those who continue to shut their eyes or say nothing today not wanting to shed light or stop to think about gruesome side to the war. This film is a small tribute to all those victims of this unparalleled barbarity

    Heart wrenching movie showcasing human cruelty that is little too long

    Any interpretation or depiction of any war or acts of terror is extremely hard and tough for director to showcase in cinematic form. Question always is how little its too much and Mrityunjay Devvrat's  has done an excellent job of that in his debut movie.

    Children of war is graphical beautiful depiction of the almost forgotten 1971 genocide happened in East Pakistan. The scenes to tend to get uncomfortably gory and long and I would think that the movie overall would have benefited from a shorter script. It's a long depressing watching genocides for more than two hours.

    Sadly, enough the 1971 genocides have been forgotten and most of the younger generation are clueless about the sufferings. The movie could have benefited if they had put some context for today's generation.

    The actors are par excellent and all have done an excellent job. I especially was fascinated by Pawan Malhotras evil, cruel, ruthless Pakistani General. Pawan finally got an opportunity to show his true talent.

    Director has done an amazing job for first time holding the baton and I really look forward to seeing more movies from him.

    Music score was OK but little too loud and took away from the moments at times.

    The movie would have done lot better if it was shorter and crisper.
