The way back

I am sure I said it enough and you guys are probably tired of reading this, but I love WWII movies, from any perspective.Putting aside the ugly face of war, there is always that elements that makes you restore your faith in humanity. But what makes this specific movie very special is that it is not dissing any of the sides to make the movie commercial or political.

This movie is simply the story of 6 people, trying to run away from a camp in Siberia and go to India. Among them are an American, a Polish guy who knows the wilderness and survival, a Russian thug, a priest ,a guy who draws and another guy who has night blindness. Along the way a younger girl also joins them. They pass through cold snow packed Siberia, the deserts with no water, Himalaya and any hard wild natural condition you might imagine.

What I loved about this movie is the interaction between people, how they trust each other, help each other and try to survive which made me wonder If I ever again have the rights to nag about my life.

This movie is based on a true story, in which these people walk about a year and around 4000 miles and at the end only three of them survive.

I for sure recommend watching this movie and give a 7/10 to it.
