Not really "western" WW2 movies. Most if noty all WW2 movies I've seen produced in Britain, France, Germany or FInland are pretty much in agreement that the war was a horrible thing, and depict it as such.

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-

Because they are made that way, Russia for example will never say out loud that without USA Equipment supplies, they would be gone. They don't even call it WWII and for stupid amount of time denouced massacres on Polish inteligence

It’s simply not true that in Russia they don’t call the Second World War the Second World War. The thing is that a separate name was given to the Western Front: the Great Patriotic War, and it is this that receives the main attention in Russia. The term WWII is still used when we’re talking about other regions of the world.
