    The Real Story Behind the Film "Immortal" (2022)

    Historical Background

    The film "Immortal" is inspired by the real-life events surrounding the Lapland War, which took place in Finland from September 1944 to April 1945. This conflict was between Finland and Nazi Germany, following Finland's armistice with the Soviet Union. The war was characterized by the Finnish effort to expel German forces from their territory, particularly in the northern region of Lapland.

    Key Figures and Events

      • Operation Birke: This was a German military operation aimed at securing retreat routes and resources in Lapland. The operation led to significant destruction in the region as German forces employed a scorched earth policy.

      • Evacuation of Rovaniemi: The capital of Lapland, Rovaniemi, was heavily affected, with much of the city being destroyed by retreating German troops.

      • Finnish Resistance: Finnish forces, although initially outnumbered, managed to push back the German troops through strategic maneuvers and local knowledge of the terrain.

    Film's Correspondence to Reality

    While "Immortal" takes creative liberties for dramatic effect, it captures the essence of the Lapland War's harsh conditions and the resilience of the Finnish people. The film's portrayal of the conflict highlights the strategic challenges and the human cost of war, reflecting the historical reality of the time.

    Kill the ingloriously surviving John Wick. An hour and a half of a bloody mess of Nazis, magnificent landscapes of Finland and the complete absurdity of what is happening. I would especially like to note the lack of an agenda. The director still has a long way to go to become Tarantino, but it’s very worthy.

    A brutal Finnish action movie, squinting like a western, with hints of black humor. 95% of the time, Finns and Germans speak the host language, English. There will be a couple of punchlines in Finnish at the end. The background of the protagonist spoils the Russophobic trace, but the Finns could not do without it, what is there. 7.5 out of 10

    The authors of some films understand and feel the line between reality and fantasy. Lucky that this film has such authors. Epic in every sense, the man showed the Nazis that you should not insert on the way to the goal. His goal … (to save the dog, open a bank account) you will find out for yourself.

    Skillfully crafted entertainment with a simple plot. Such a Finnish grindhouse with a breath of fresh bloody air. Grandpa is strong. And the charisma is such that only it could mow down the Nazis. Let’s have a sequel.

    Funny thrash! And it should be perceived only in this way, and not otherwise.

    Somehow I didn’t have enough coolness and interestingness, but for the moment of underwater breathing, the nature of Lapland and the brilliant motivation of the gentlemen – respect. We need more Finnish films!

    Translated to English

    In terms of interest in the film (from Scandinavia), I can only remember the crazy Norwegian "Headhunters". Brutal, without sentimentality, captivating. It’s definitely not boring.

    The wrong movie was called John Wick 4) This one is just right! Fresh, not drawn out, Tarantino-style frank.

    In some places there is where to go to hell over the fantasy of scriptwriters-stupid) If you perceive it as a fantastic comedy from the very beginning, then you can enjoy the whole film, if you try to take what is happening on the screen seriously, then it’s better not to start)

    Watched

    And here, in contrast to Wick, the Finnish cruel, but in some places darkly funny action movie for 90 minutes about the "immortal" legend that tears the Nazis in sophisticated ways, is just as delusional in mood. I don’t really like the Western and military setting, but here everything worked out with a bang.

    The movie is just amazing, I really enjoyed it. Great actors and storyline. The protagonist’s dog is a highlight.

    Not a bad movie for an evening, but I definitely wouldn’t watch it alone. It lacks the seriousness to be considered serious, and it lacks the trashiness to be considered trash. Neither fish nor fowl, but it’ll do for a one-time viewing. 4-5

    Translated to English

    If John Wick was mute, gray-haired and from Finland, if he trained his martial arts on the Nazis and if he was a gold digger, then this movie was dedicated to him. Brutal, cold, crazy and merciless. Just what you need to brighten up a languid evening without Keanu.

    "Do you really believe that he is immortal? No, he just refuses to die. Cool movie, and not to be taken seriously.

    Best action movie of the year! No, did you see how he took the helmet off the fascist? Ahah

    A funny movie with inventive action scenes of Nazi deaths, but something was missing. Perhaps the entertainment, the comedy.

    Translated to English

    Watched

    Here it is, a breath of fresh air. Yes, it’s nonsense if you start digging into the plausibility, but to hell with it. Excellent impressions for 1.5 hours. Just a blast. I applaud.

    Decent action, no lag, no unnecessary scenes or conversations. There is a grandfather, there is gold, there are Nazis who took this gold. Looks at you in one go, so you don’t have time to get bored or tired of the action.

    Well, they filmed it… You can really feel the vibes of John Wick and Mad Max in the World War II setting. Watch only if you can tolerate trash and lack of realism. It’s a one-time movie that you won’t lose anything by missing.
