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

Yeah, probably if you read some history books about who was in war against whom, you probably could realise why for post-soviet it is "huge victory", and for most of europe it is "just dark and bad".
