As a Turkish person, I like Greek movies. All the rivalry, competition and bitter-sweet fights over baklava, caciki, moussaka and everything else is a result of the common culture built together in a long time.
And war is sad for everyone, but in this one I can better understand how they feel. For me, a scene was showing a lot. While German soldiers are eating silently, Greek prisoners were playing music and dancing under tough conditions. This explains how lively they are. Whatever they are going through, their life energy does not disappear.
Going to death proudly and eyes wide open is something which can not be understood easily without knowing history. We should know life is short and there is no point to fight for simple reasons.
Emotional and sensational movie! Scenario could be improved, but good enough to feel the history.
