Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

gordonl56 INTO THE WHITE - 2012A very entertaining war film set in Norway during 1940. The Germans are advancing up the length of Norway defeating the Norwegian Army as it moves north. The British and French forces land troops and aircraft at Narvik to help the Norwegians. The Royal Navy puts a major dent in the supply of German destroyers. But the naval battle, and the Allied landings only slows the Germans down for a bit, and the Allies soon need to evacuate back to England. The film is about a small slice of the combat for Narvik.The crew of a Germen He-111 are forced to crash land in the mountains after sustaining combat damage. The three survivors set out in a blinding snowstorm looking for shelter. They stumble across a remote cabin and hole up. They are soon joined by a pair of British aircrew in the same boat.The Germans are played by, Florian Lukas, David Kross and Stig Henrik Hoff, while the two Brits are played by Lachlan Niboer and Rupert Grint. The Germans are first on the draw and the British are soon prisoners. After several days with the storm raging outside, it really does not matter who are the prisoners, they all are.There is only a small amount of food in the cabin and rationing is necessary from the start. Next the wood for the stove starts to run out. This makes it necessary to start ripping up the chairs, beds, floors and even the outdoors privy. Needless to say, there are several exchanges of who has the gun, and who is in charge.The snow finally abates and the men decide to use some of the old sets of skis found in the rafters and make for the coast. They agree that whoever forces they meet first, the others will surrender to.One of the Brits, along with one German, set off to scout for a route down. The two run into a Norwegian ski patrol. One of the Norwegians, armed with a scoped rifle, sees the German uniform on the one man. The German is of course shot dead. The patrol soon has the two Brits safe and the two surviving German collared.Everyone is soon hustled back to Navrik, and just in time too, as the Allies are about to pull out. The Germans will be spending the rest of the conflict on ice in a P.O.W. camp.The director was Norwegian, Petter Næss. His film work has been nominated worldwide for various awards, including an Oscar nod for a Best Foreign Film.Grint of course is well known for being in all the HARRY POTTER films. A very good film all in all.

Bob Shank Brilliantly conceived, exemplary in depiction. It's not difficult to pay some serious attention to this film, even from the outset. You'll immediately (or eventually) recognize the global crucible among nations reduced to a select few in this simplistic but well-acted scenario: how we all 'get along' - or not. I think it's best to defray the details within this particular venue, although they're readily identified if you're cogent-enough as a film-viewer, a historian or a plain old human being such as myself. One of the most cogently produced films I've had the pleasure of watching. Give yourself a 'Humanology' test and view it for yourself. There are no wrong answers - only succinct and possibly better ones. And, believe me, you'll feel better for having done so.

secondtake Into the White (2012)What a surprise. This WWII survival tale set in the snowy wilderness of Norway is based on true events of a British and a German airplane both crashing and how the survivors fared. It is compact and touching, funny and harrowing. A true ensemble cast movie that could have easily been a play, "Into the White" explores the basic humanity of our bitter world, and how beneath the rules and boundaries that lead to war and strife and petty argument are the warm loving truths of human beings surviving together on a hostile planet.Not to overbuild the thing. There are some flaws and some awkward attempts at drama (the amputation is perhaps too much for this short period). But it's a weirdly humble movie in its filming and writing. What pulls it together is its simple sincerity, its lack of grandiose flexing. Even the ending, which could have been worked into something far more soaring or pithy, settles into the same steady groove. Well done.There is a bit written about all these facts on the web (each of the two pilots has written a book about it). The main point is that it really happened, though the real events took only one night and didn't involve the same struggle to survive as what is shown here. The core is the meeting of enemies in a war that had clear lines of combat. Norway was still being fought over (the Germans eventually took control of the country) and so there was a feeling that the two British and three German airmen were equals in a neutral country.But that doesn't mean they trusted each other. Which brings up the question--why not? What did these five men have to gain, or lose, by being cruel to each other? By killing each other? Yet there were rules of engagement, rules of how to hold prisoners, and even in the weird circumstances here those rules seem to give them a road to follow if nothing else. There are a few instances of movies exploring enemies coming to see each other compassionately in the midst of war. The closest echo is the 2005 Chilean film, "Mi Mejor Enemigo" which translates as My Best Enemy, and which shows a Chilean and Argentine conflict in the middle of nowhere with the same working against rules and exploring testy friendships. That's recommended, too, if you like this one, though it is often a bit slow. There is something more poignant about the WWII backdrop in this later one, and the dialog, which really does feel like a play, holds up beautifully, delicately.

Claudio Carvalho In World War II, the German pilots Lieutenant Horst Schopis (Florian Lukas), Josef Schwartz (David Kross) and Wolfgang Strunk (Stig Henrik Hoff) crash their airplane in the wilderness of Norway after shooting down a British airplane.They walk through a snow storm until they reach shelter in an abandoned hunter cabin. Soon the British pilot Captain Charles P. Davenport (Lachlan Nieboer) and the gunner Robert Smith (Rupert Grint) arrive in the cabin and they become prisoners of the German pilots. However, after the initial friction between the enemies, they realize that they should team-up to survive in the wilderness in the beginning of an improbable friendship."Into the White" is based on the true story of German and British pilots that crash in the mountains of Norway in the winter and in order to survive, they conclude that they need to work together. In the end, we are all equals and the enemies become friends. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Entre Inimigos" ("Among Enemies")
