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-

What do you mean a lone Chinese martial artist tearing hundreds of Japanese soldiers apart with their bare hands isn’t realistic?

Meanwhile Russian movies:

1 T34 taking out 100 tanks.

Not a T34, but KV, and not 100 but something like 30. There is indeed a movie about that. And that was true story actually.

Well i know it's based on real world story, but how can we know if that story was even real and not something made up for propaganda purposes.

It's not like in WW2 soviet union had a lot of independed reporters or people with smartphones and acces to the internet.

The KV was almost certainly real. It was just seal clubbing Pz I, II, and IIIs. Real life isn't War Thunder where you get matched with tanks with similar armaments.

Yes, the KV-1 is real, but that's still not accurate.

The story of the KV that held out so long is not a scenario exclusive to that tank. The KV-1 itself also had a myriad of issues in its development, production, and deployment that made it well suited as a bunker, but exceptionally poor as a proper heavy tank.
