Talk:Into the White

Norwegians making an "anti-War" film, what a self-indulgent disgrace. The Norwegians involved in this deserve to be living in a still Nazi-occupied Norway. Alex Middleton (talk) 17:10, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

it is not an anti war movie, it is a movie that takes place under WW II, it is based on a true story and it is about the people that were in the war, there is nothing in it that paints war as a bad thing 88.91.185.59 (talk) 21:35, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I definitely wouldn't call this an "anti-war" film... it's a story of survival and human compassion with war themes. It is based on a true story but many of the details have been altered and exaggerated to emphasize both the survival and compassion themes. I believe the article should be updated to remove the "anti-war" description.Troll-Life (talk) 08:29, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that there is some "anti-war" speech throughout the movie, just as there was in Joyeux Noël. Nevertheless, I would remove the "anti-war" description and rather have it come from a well-renowned movie critic in a critical reception section with a ref.

We (Norwegians) had to fight for both sides during the War so we should know more about this than you ever will, whoever you are mister Middleton (I'm assuming American or British, so you probably weren't even invaded by anyone). You are the self-indulgent one here and if anyone deserves to be occupied it is you. Then you can see how great this beloved war of yours is when it's on your own doorsteps and not someone else's. As for this movie; "not mindlessly glorifying" is not the same as being actively "anti-" something. --95.34.47.192 (talk) 00:37, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Pure Art[edit]

What a wonderful piece of art, what a beautiful film! --91.66.12.42 (talk) 17:04, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The message of the movie has to be against war. There is no scene in the movie that shows the opposit. Especially the scene where Strunk is killed by Norwegian soldiers shows the cruelty of war. The whole story of the movie (friendship between soldiers who should be enemies) has to be understood as an "anti-war" massage. I cannot understand why the movie shouldn't be against war, because in my eyes it is not possible to understand the movie that way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.4.116.8 (talk) 09:59, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

History and Real events[edit]

There is a substantial amount of repetition in this article, mostly in the History and Real Events sections. I do not know enough about the history myself, but I encourage someone who does to clean this up.AccusedOfEatingHamsters (talk) 23:37, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have also noted this. Some seems to be sourced, accurate information, while some seems to be simply transcluded from the film's description of events. R. A. Simmons ^Talk 07:55, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Germans speak English in 1940?[edit]

I am from Germany and I prefer the German Dubbing. In the original film, the Norwegians speak Norwegian, the English speak English and the Germans speak German. But if the Germans speak to English, then everyone in perfect English. That is not realistic. In 1940 almost nobody in Germany spoke English. For what should they? 89.1.139.164 (talk) 00:14, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
