Come & See

Come and See is one of those pieces of cinema that will never leave me. Very few have ever seen this russian film but is is the most powerful antiwar film I have ever seen. Come and See dose not romanticize war it shows it for what it is dirty and horrible. We watch the loss of innocents of Kravenko a child whose life is forever changed by Nazi occupation in Russia during WWII everything is taken from him and he is just trying to survive. I love this image it is so raw and you can see his pain and anguish grinding his teeth and holding his head like it is about to split in half it is captivating in every sense of the word. I took this image and tried to make it look caked in blood and dirt layers caked on top layers of the filth of what is happening. The image also lends itself because of Kravenko arm that he is trying to shield himself from it all but he cannot and he will never be the same.
