Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Ploydsge just watch it!

ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

GwydionMW The book relies a lot on the claim the author intended to commit murder.All we know is that he killed no one.I find it suspicious.And the film leaves out a lot of the background.No real insights into Greek life.

stranger Does it really writes 28,000 Greek children or my eyes are lying me?? The majority of the children were not of Greek origin! Majority of those children and their descendants live now in Poland, Australia, Canada, ex Yugoslavia etc. and declare themselves as Macedonians. I heard their stories many times because my grandparents are one of them! They never said that were kidnapped by communists! I found it very disturbing to call them Greeks because they never felt Greeks! Children were forced to leave their homes because of Greek fascist regime... those children and we, descendants of them declare themselves only as Macedonians and not Greeks. We also speak dopika...from where did dopika come and how we learned it if not from our grandparents? Dopika is not a Greek language btw... This movie is a poor propaganda. Those people are alive, do not insult them with saying they are Greeks....

jtpaladin Folks, please ignore the silly left-wingers who have decided to post their hateful remarks about this great film.Speaking as a Greek-American, who's father was a partisan in WWII, the story as shown in the film was exactly as it happened. Yes, there was a terrible civil war following WWII but it was an attempt by the Soviet Union to extend its' power into the southern Balkans. The Soviets backed communists in Greece and the Allies backed non-communists. After a long and bloody conflict, that also resulted in thousands of Greek children being stolen from their parents and shipped to Eastern Bloc countries, the war ended with the non-communists as victors.Now, be sure that like in every bloody civil war, there were atrocities committed on both sides. But fighting against the communists was the right course of action since they did not favor free elections, would have instituted a tyrannical govt., and would have dragged Greece into the Eastern Bloc for 50 years.As for the kidnapping of the children, the blow to Greece's manpower was tragic. It would be the equivalent if millions of children were taken from American parents. Truly a nightmare. But a nightmare that could have been averted if the filthy communist scumbags had been stopped early on. It was Churchill that wanted to land troops in Greece for just such a reason during WWII but the Soviet dominated alliance nixed such an idea, leaving Greece wide open for chaos and an atmosphere for civil war.Anyway, the film was truly accurate in its' portrayal of the political climate of the time, the brutality of the communists, and the end result of this horrendous period. I highly recommend it as a lesson in what many countries of that, and later periods, encountered with communist insurrections. I also highly recommend it as a powerful testament of a mothers' love to protect her children from the ensuing chaos of war and tragedy.

centen Powerful performances all around in this tale of a family's struggle to escape the Greek Civil War after World War II. Based on a true story, and with a powerful performance by Kate Nelligan as the title character. John Malkovich does not disappoint as her son who seeks to avenge his mother's execution. Oscar winner Linda Hunt also gives a fine supporting performance. A gripping, suspenseful mystery!
