IiS-Fans: WHERE DO YOU COME FROM AND HOW OLD ARE YOU?

Thought this thread would be very interesting for the worldwide Idi i Smotri Fan community. I myself also am pretty darn curious about the results.

The film isn't VERY well known but not total underground on the other hand so... I hope to get some answers. Maybe. ;-)

Please write down some information about you.

Where you are from (country / city if you want).
How old you are.
Your gender.

You can also add why you like the film or additional information you think others may find interesting.

So, here we go:

I'm from "Zwettl" (small town on the countryside, not very far away from Vienna), Austria,

Come and See is definitely the best war film I know and at the same time it's also one of the most disturbing and intense films that I ever watched. It's quality will never vanish. THIS is a gem I won't find a second time in film history... thanks to all the makers of it!

Greetings from Austria and have fun, fellas!

I just stumble upon this movie browsing for more WWII movies. Since I can't buy the dvd here in my place I just download through the net. I have to say I like the movie and I'm obsess of learning more of during the War.

Great film. Hollywood directors/producers considering a war movie should be made to watch this.

For everyone who likes a good war movie, I recommend Kanal by the famous Polish director Andrzej Wajda about the Warsaw Uprising. Very hard to find though :(

I've always been astounded at the German-Russian side of WWII for its scale, ferocity, death and destruction. Its like comparing Jupiter to the Moon.

This is an amazing, gripping, terrifying film. I only found out about it by reading about other WWII movies on IMDB... glad I found it! It will be a goal of mine to get more people to watch it.

The war is not meant to be won... it is meant to be continuous.

"It will be a goal of mine to get more people to watch it." That sounds fantastic!!

Watched this film at universtity, I left the room in shock and couldn't speak for a good hour later. Very real and it's better than any Hollywood film I have ever seen. It's very emotionally draining and I loved the way it was filmed and the way you see Florya age and his character grow up.
I thought the ending was very poignant as well, as they had mentioned the children being killed and the German guy said that it was because they would grow up to be the same. But when Florya saw Hitler as a child he couldn't shoot him, showing the difference between them.

Idi i Smotri is among the best war movies I've seen in a long time.
