Their task is to crawl along the beach by hand, poking a stick in the sand to locate mines, then defuse them before they explode. The Sergeant's treatment of the teenage boys is initially brutal: they live and work in terrible conditions, are practically starved and constantly reminded that everyone in Denmark hates them and nobody cares if they live or die. Danish Sergeant Carl Rasmussen (Roland M?ller) is assigned a squad of fourteen German prisoners of war who must clear a beach that contains 45,000 active mines. It is 1945 and the war is over, but the beautiful Danish coastline has two million deadly mines left buried in the sand by the Nazi occupation. This is the psychological space in which we find the extraordinary Danish-German war film Land of Mine (2016). Many of them put guilt and culpability onto the widescreen so that current and future generations may learn from the past. Regardless of whether they are produced by victorious or vanquished countries, the better war films set out facts, acknowledge wrongdoing, express regret, and seek atonement.
LAND OF MINE 2015 1080P FREE
In matters of war, no nation is free of guilt. Some of the most heart-pulse racing moments you can have in a war history story that needs to be told. With a philosophical discussion about military conflicts as well as being very intense and beautiful, Under Sandet gives us a real view of the complexities of the Second World War and human behavior. The rest of the cast was also well chosen and psychologically developed, in which the actors who play the soldiers have different personalities. The actor delivered a complex character, moody, bitter and angry, but at the same time which has not lost humanity that exists within him. Responsible to oversee the group of German soldiers, Carl struggle to separate his military duties from the hatred he feels for the old enemy. One of the elements that makes Land of Mine a memorable experience is the excellent performance of Roland M?ller, playing the role of Sergeant Carl Rasmussen, protagonist of the story. The soundtrack is catchy and at times heartbreaking, fitting in the drama narrated in the film. Maintaining an intense pace, the tranquility and vastness of the beach are contrasted, at all times, with the danger that awaits them "under the sand", expression that names the film. The use of long shot captures the beautiful danish landscape, while more intimate moments allow us to monitor the interactions among those soldiers.
And here, again, we have to highlight the director's work. The photography, by Camilla Hjelm, is to behold. France and other winning countries of World War required repairs and imposed absurd sanctions to Germany. It was precisely for situations like this that the Second World War broke out. One of the great successes of Zandvliet's direction and script is to show the war cycles: the winners, the danes, start to adopt the brutal practices of the losers, the Germans. He also portrays the exploitation of children dragged into war.
With an original script, the director succeeds to convey the bitterness brought by five years of Nazi occupation in Denmark. The film, written and directed by Martin Zandvliet, is an excellent motion picture, managing to bring to the screen a work with a new approach, although all the other war films ever made before. The story focuses on a small group of young Germans who have the hard and dangerous task of clearing 45,000 mines from a danish beach to gain freedom. With the German surrender and the end of the war in May 1945, more than 2,000 German prisoners of war were sent to disarm those landmines. Fearing that a possible Allied invasion would take place from the Danish coast, Nazi Germany filled the entire length of Denmark's west coast with over 1.5 million mines. Inspired by true events, the film Under Sandet (original title) or Land of Mine (in English) addresses one of these reports, which occurred in Denmark after the war. Several World War II stories are not told in the books, being forgotten over time.
