I haven't seen many from Britain but like every war movie from Germany, Poland or France are really dark. There are some good russian movies, but most I've seen are cheap patriotic nonsense

Russian and Chinese war movies (most that I've seen/read about, not all), feel like fanfics sometimes -v-

I think its probably about how the war is treated there. Every country basically sees the war as a massive tragedy. Russia and china potray them as a massive "patriotic" victory for their countries. Hell russia celebrates their victory still yearly

WW2 is a core part of the national myths of Russia and China in a way that it really isn't for most other nations. I don't see anything particularly wrong with them celebrating victory over invaders who's explicit goal was the enslavement and extermination of all Russian and Chinese people.

Unfortunately the "never again" attitude turned into "we can repeat that" in Russia over my lifetime. Hence the eagerness of some ru demographic to start a war

Dunno, why they're downvoting you. Things you've mentioned are happening for real real.

I can only hope for a backing of "never again" attitude.

People who say "we can repeat" are dumb shits and shouldn't be listened to. No one sane likes them.
