O Bombardeio

Or the truth of wars, when wrong fully targeted elements of society are hit due to either wrongdone calculation or just willfully, it hurts generations to come anyhow. Copenhagen where hit, but also bergen , laksevåg in norway where also hit by the brits when trying to raid u-boot bunkers, missing and taking out a elementary school instead, with massive amout of casualties why i mention this is that my friends mum survived the ordeal, and ive always been admiring her gut and how she told her stories, when youre a history geek yourself...

this is danish film at the rim of the heavens gate, produced, filmed and acted in such a raw dirty manner, showing the frights of war. Its in the air these days to make war, so spread the rumour about this film asap, it might give some human beings hesitation.

Ett stort ''hurra hurra'', to this epic war drama, a big recommend from the grumpy old man.

I've never really understood the term friendly fire, it's a term used in the war time when a Allied troops or planes accidentally kills or Injures troops or civilians of an allied country. There really is nothing friendly about this especially when it came to the 86 children killed during the bombing raid on the Copenhagen Gestapo offices in 1945. You can't help but feel this was something that should never have happened with experienced crew as the war reached its conclusion, especially as it was a daytime raid.

I was aware of the story but as it brought to life in this heartbreaking film really brings home the true pointlessness of war. Have we learnt from this? I write this piece whilst the current war is taking place in the Ukraine and hundreds of civilians are being murdered by Russian cruise missiles. This mission whilst achieving its main objective of destroying the Gestapo headquarters the deaths of those innocent children make it one of the lowest points in the history of the RAF.

Covering the WWII RAF raid 'Operation Carthage' Some harrowing scenes that added to the realism. And good acting from the children involved.

Apart from the necessary sub plot it's pretty much true to the actual train of events and well worth a viewing. Brings home the horrors of collateral damage in wars.

Indeed, this is a gripping story by any standard. One of the unintended unfortunate consequences of war to the unaffected bystander but deeply tragic to the victims' families.

Great acting by the young actors, namely, Betram Enevoldson, Ester Birch and Ella Nilsson. They performed their roles like veteran thespians. The side story of Frede and Sr. Teresa, while unnecessary to some, actually enriches the overall narrative.

Any war is horrible but mankind hasn't learned its lessons yet. Should we accept this as integral to the human condition?

As a cold hearted SOB it's extremely rare to find a film that hits me in the feels, but this one certainly did. Well written and executed and fantastic child actors. This is up there with some of the best war films in my opinion.
