AKA: Idi I Smotri
Directed by: Elem Klimov
Starring: Aleksey Kravchenko (Gaishun), Olga Mironova (Glasha)
Country: Soviet Union, European Cinema
Language: Belarusian, Russian (English subtitles)
Runtime: 02:22:25
Genres: Based on a True Story, Military, Nazism, Teen-oriented, Violence Against Animals, Racism

Plot – Spoilers:
A couple of Belarusian kids hope to join the Resistance during the Nazi occupation of WW2. But for this they need guns. They find one buried in the sand and the next day one of them, Gaishun is recruited by the Resistance. Gaishun is thrilled at the prospect of taking on the Nazis and spends the day with a beaming smile that is in contrast to the jaded, weary faces of his older comrades.

But before Gaishun can earn his stripes, the village is bombed and he is left to wander the desolate countryside accompanied by a young girl Glasha who had been rescued by the Resistance.

From the naive thrill of fighting for his land, Gaishun is soon battered into an unstable pulp of fear, insanity and guilt by the realities of war. Guilt because it is suggested the Nazis noticed him digging up guns and so bombed his village.

Come and See is replete with grand scenes that defy conventional depictions of fighting and war.

Favorite Scene:
The one with the cow during a bleak dusk lit up by flares and gunfire.

1st things 1st, I love this website. A lot of classics as well as many new odd and wonderful films to experience.

2nd, this film is a masterpiece. This is one of my favorite films, ever made. I rarely watch it because of it’s impact. If you have yet to see it, stop reading this and watch it now.

3rd, I’ve been using this website for a couple of years now and while freedom of speech is a wonderful thing, hey look I’m exercising it right now! I can’t help but notice the amount of painfully unfunny and hateful people on here. I get people have a right to voice their opinions, but what’s what the influx of racist losers desperately seeking attention and validation? If it isn’t related to the film, the comments should be banned because they add nothing of substance.

Again, I love this site.
I give the film 5/5 stars
Racists, fuck off.

apparemment il y a encore des zozos qui pensent que la guerre est un jeu entre les bons et les mauvais , et qui croient qu’eux ils sont bien.. la guerre en réalité est une comédie entre impuissants à qui on met un fusil dans les mains et on donne l’ordre de tuer leurs semblables . Hitler , la guerre mondiale n’auraient jamais existé si personne n’ avait obéi. Les gens ne l’ont pas encore compris, mais les systemes pyramidaux de commandement mondiaux existent encore, et, pire, la loi est à leur pied. Ce qui fait qu’un jour des policiers soumis aux ordres , puis des militaires également soumis aux ordres ( tous payés par le systeme) pourraient venir les contraindre à tomber dans l’horreur . La guerre est un monstre qui détruit l’exiérieur comme l’intérieur . C’ets sa source sociale, politique, légale, qu’il faut rendre impuissante; pour nous mêmes, nos parents, nos enfants . Pour l’honneur de la race humaine

Almost two hours of a retarded looking boy ambling around with a retarded looking expression in his retarded face. I was praying for the nazis to shoot him so we could be over and done with this.

“For the introduction of a socialist economy is more than a ‘decree’! It requires a moral understanding, an ethical conviction, a religious profession of faith! For in its innermost essence, it is a turning away from the idolatry of previous millennia, the overcoming of a monetary system already attacked by MOSES AND CHRIST, which could be maintained to the present day only by keeping people stupid and terrorizing them, and by a mendacious sanctimoniousness. To bring about this powerful revolution is our mission; to prevent it, on the other hand, is the intention and perhaps already the task assigned to Schacht.”

— Adolf Hitler, in Otto Wagener’s Memoirs of a Confidant, p. 263

I JUST SPOKE WITH MY JEWISH NEIGHBOR AND HE SAID HE’S GONNA MAKE THE US ARMY ATTACK ANOTHER SHITHOLE NEAR EUROPE AND FLOOD EUROPEAN COUNTRIES WITH EVEN MORE RAPEFUGEES!! THIS MEANS THAT, WHILE THE WH*TES IN AMERICA ARE CONSTANTLY GIVING THEIR WOMEN TO BLACK BULLS TO CREATE MUTT CHILDREN, THE WH*TES IN EUROPE ARE CONSTANTLY BEING REPLACED BY THE POC IMMIGRANTS. THIS IS SO HECKING EPIC!!!!! WE WH*TE PEOPLE DESERVE TO BE DRIVEN EXTINCT SINCE WE SHARE BASICALLY ALL OF OUR DNA WITH HITLER AND THEREFORE WE’RE ALL NAZIS, AND WE ALSO CAN’T SING OR DANCE LIKE NIG- I MEAN BLACK ARYANS DO. WE WH*TE PEOPLE SHOULD JUST WEAR KEK CAGES AND GIVE ALL OUR WOMEN TO BLACK BULLS LIKE I DO

After her polarising film debut, Olga Ivanova Mironova retreated from acting altogether, even reproaching all obverses of the lurid limelight. Here’s a simpatico soupçon, in 1991 Olga founded the choir school for boys and young men of Doubna, she became its artistic director.
A venerated, precious film to me, brimming with resplendent guttural presence.

Powerful movie, beautiful and well acted. Yes some scenes maybe artsy or drawn out, but only adds to the emotion of this film. If this doesn’t stir something in ya, you are heartless. You nazi’s watching this must be so proud. Mandatory viewing IMO.

It’s not what SS and nazi did to the world bothers me, but it’s who we are as human beings as we saw in recent Azerbaijan Armenian war makes me sad and leaves me heart broken. These 2 nations been part of soviet union and both suffered along with other parts of USSR during second world war. However it did not stopped them starting a war and killing each other. We are not fallen angels, we are just risen animals who look for a chance to get back to our nature.

A flat-out masterpiece, harrowing and unforgettable. With both documentary-like immediacy and terrifying surrealism, you are traveling with the protagonist into the devastating heart of the atrocities in Belarus during the Second World War. There is no false triumph or glory here, just devastation and survivors who envy the dead.

I came here for a youtube video because they was saying is the most sacariest movie ever made … but in my opinion is not the most easy movie to watch but is a heartbreaking painful but beautiful movie
have beautiful photography the landscape where the shot was filmed they are really pretty in like naturalistic kind of way almost like dogma type of movie in one scene you can almost seen the light was changing this movie almost reminded me a little bit the Ivan childhood of Tarkovsky I can see the similituded both of the movie the context is the war both of the movie the kid is the principal character so far the kid actor is pretty good and the girl to but if you ask me i still prefer tarksvosky I am agree the sometimes have bizarre shots but in a weird way work in the style of the movie

This movie is astonishing !!
I was so surprised when I saw it, the story is heartbreaking (obviously, it’s set in WW2 duh), the performance of the actors is really great, especially Gaishun/Florya’s !!
Sure, the pace is ,,,, heh, boring/kinda slow, but if you hang in there, there really are beautiful shots/scenes.
The end is just (wow) incredibly sad (for me), ’cause you know what happened in this movie happened irl.
But yeah, it’s a pretty good movie, recommand !! >:^]
