VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
jambalulu On first viewing, Belyy tiger appears to be a simple attempted mix of a war story and a ghost tale. The movie is extremely well done, but when you first watch it, the ending does feel like an unresolved dead end that does not satisfy the questions that are formed throughout the plot. But after dedicating some thought to the symbolic meaning behind the story and understanding some of the messages passed in the plot, i couldn't help watching it a second time, and then a third time and a fourth time, just to relive it from that informed perspective that enabled me to change my focus to look deeper at all the hints and clues that reveal what the story is actually about, rather than just taking in the plot at face value. This isn't a movie that aims to be historically accurate or realistic, but rather it's a fictional tale with a strong symbolic message about humanity, passed in the proper context of the greatest war of all times. The simplest explanation i can give without spoiling it is that it uses world war 2 as an example to make a statement about the eternal struggle between the forces of good and evil within our civilization, and in many ways i think it's also a tribute to the heroism of allied troops in WW2, using the particular example of a soviet tank crewman. It really is an outstanding film, and cryptic symbolism aside, it's also an incredibly real and beautifully done war movie, the actors are wonderful, the music is phenomenal, the locations are perfect, and it's one of the very few authentic feeling WW2 movies, with actual tanks, battlefields, soldiers and environments that all look and feel like they really came straight out of 1943. Don't expect a standard action packed war movie with this one, but rather an artistic depiction of a fictional mystery story that takes place in the russian\german front in WW2, and be mindful to look for the meaning and the message behind it when you get to the end. I can honestly say that despite not being a historically accurate or realistic movie (like i usually enjoy), it is still one of the best WW2 movies i have ever seen (and iv'e really seen a lot), and i honestly do prefer it to other high budget "realistic" films like Fury and other ones.. Honest 10 stars.
ashishbansal_in The Movie starts with a mystery and keeps attention of the user till the end.. however as the things turns towards the end it leaves spectators with a very deep feeling about a Powerful Message. Also scenes and talks shown at the end which every one knows however never dares to speak in Public. Loved the creativity , Loved the message and Overall presentations and scenes are also good and acceptable.
Kirpianuscus a Russian war film. classic recipes. well known story. the hero. the enemy. old virtues and values. and a bizarre end. because Belyy Tigr has the strange courage to be almost an experiment, special challenge. sure, the Great War is presented in same familiar spirit for the public of Soviet films. but it is only a start point. sure, the traces of action hero are not ignored. but the message is more profound. and it transforms the film in a kind of matryoshka doll. the fight becomes key to understand rules of history. the victory against enemy is source of any answer. the spectacular confrontation scenes are pretext for a never ending hunt. the super hero, new bogatyr, only part of a large portrait of deep sense of victory.an ambitious project. and proof of the high art of Karen Shakhnazarov.
SpannersGerm669 Now to start off with, if you are planning on watching this film expecting another typical war movie, then you might be disappointed! This surreal Russian film is more about courage and mental torture of war, with battle scenes taking a back seat. For that reason I really liked it. The story kept me captivated and the characters were interesting enough to invest my time in. When the tank battles do take place, I thought they were superbly done, with the mysterious "White Tiger" having a scary and almost indestructible sense about it. Now one can dismiss this powerful German tank as just that, or you can look deeper and see what it stands for. The director has created a very multi-layered film that will make the deep thinker feel as though he or she has had a good work out.Not for everyone, but in a world of movies that lack creativity and originality, White Tiger comes highly recommended!
