I like the cast. But "based on a true story" tells me the plot is $itty. From the trailer I've seen pretty much everything. I don't know about you guys, but I'm not going to watch only on actors do what they do. I watch movies, not actors.
Inspiring! My grandfather escaped from a Siberian POW camp in 1915 and walked home to Budapest, 3 years and 8,000 km. I have found 2 other people who's grandfather's did the same thing. If anyone out there has a similar story during WWI please get in touch. just search for Lou Petho or Russian Promenade.
I like how people are kinda arguing about this when it's "Siberian Death Camps" not "Serbian Death Camps." Serbia is a country in eastern Europe guys... Siberia is the territory where the gulags are located.
And yes, their have been many survivors. Yes, cold temps and stuff, but animals do live in Siberia, how do you think the camps would operate? By train supply alone? Pssh.
I loved the book - absolutely amazing. I hope this doesn't ruin the story, but it'll be hard to capture the inner dialogue, etc. And of course, in the place of dogged determination in the face of relentless, mind-numbing monotony of walking 4,000 miles, we will have lots of hollywood action, which I fear will detract from the story...
The next political-fantastic film about the "terrible" Gulag. People could escape from the Gulag in Siberia only to his death. Deserted area, help them there is nobody, nothing to eat, snow everywhere, but most terrible cold -50 - -60 degrees Celsius. After 2 days of these fugitives would find dead. The only place where these people could survive, this Gulag camp. Only a complete fool would run to his death. Interesting, why this false film shot?
Lets make a movie about the U.S Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp or the Japaese Internment camps during WWII and every one will see the dark side of the American Government.... The Americans had their reasons and i bet so did the Russians. Times change...lets not be hypocrites.
1.5 million Poles were unlawfully arrested and sent to the Soviet concentration camps in the North to die. This happened right after the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939 made by Soviets hand in hand with their allies - the Nazi Germany. 170thousand Poles were murdered 3 years before that in Soviet Union during the "great terror" which killed also 6million Ukrainians deliberately starved by Stalin's butchers. what reasons? mad, genocidal system just as immoral as III Reich.
@MrLexington1971 Like our media hasn't already done that? Every time you look Hollywood is putting out movies and shows that portray our military, history and nation in a bad light. I'm happy they have the freedom to do that even if I whole heartedly disagree. Seriously, how can you fairly compare Guantanamo Bay and the Japenese Internment camps (ordered by FDR ) to the millions murdered by Stalin from starvation, executions and forced labor in Serbian death camps?
Эх, а сняли бы лучше кино про то, как Гагарин в космос полете...) Да, вот ещё вопрос. Почему из русских бежит какой-то уголоник, а не политзаключённый-интеллигент?
It's a good job Sturgess, Farrell and Harris are in this movie, i rekon alot of people including myself wouldn't have ever known it exsisted if not :( which is a shame, because i have no doubt it would be just as good with an unrecognisable cast :L
I read "The Long Walk" as a kid about 35 years ago. It was one of the favorites in our house. About 5 years ago I heard that George Clooney bought the rights to the book. As a child, I believed in the story hook, line and sinker. But as an adult, well, I just have some questions. For instance, there is mention of Yeti (abominable snowmen) in the book. That's pretty hard to swallow, on top of the notion that they walk over the Himalayas in winter. Still dying to see the film, though!!
I great debate has started regarding the book which the film is based on The Long Walk To Freedom by Slavomir Rawicz. It is not true. Please comment or read at explorersweb.
@kolymasiberia Try Witold Glinski. I can't stay off the subject of The Long Walk. I discovered it in The Reader's Digest Book of True Escapes, then I got the original hardback. I think Rawicz was lying in order to pay the rent. His ghost writer was his landlord. I loved the story and would be very happy if it was true. Maybe Glinski was the real guy. Thanks for the info.
@kolymasiberia Sorry. I read that ( The Long Walk) in '88. But if you live near a reference library ( the really big ones), ask them, cos it's amazing what these places have. I was surprised when they produced BOTH volumes for me 2003.
If you're interested, there's a May 2009 Reader's Digest article on Glinski. I'm dying to read that. Maybe he was the true escapee as his version seems more realistic.
Why The Way Back will rock: Peter Weir & Ed Harris working together again, Colin Farrell pushing himself as an actor, the brilliant Saoirse Ronan, the David Lean-esque cinematography, wolves, snowstorms, nazis, deserts, mountains and a sense that great old fashioned movies can still be made.
@Karel69482 По количеству заключенных американцы первые в мире. Даже Китай с его полутора миллиардами населения и «кровавыми коммунистами» во главе отстает. Но об этом снимать не интересно. Интересно в очередной раз позавывать про страшный русский гулаг.
@flamedfire, the movie is very poerful & moving too in addition to having a great cast. The historical background is priceless in this film in their epic escape to freedom against all odds. There are scenes that are very haunting, and the end of the film makes you cry really hard. The escape is a personal journey into the brutal wildderness & the depths of the human character.That they were a few lucky to escape the terrible Gulag Camps is the most moving part of the story itself,.
interesting, I've always wanted to find out more about the Russian gulags. Also, it's good to see Saoirse Ronan get more work after "The Lovely Bones"
@saszsasz Of course, if you hate Russia, you will happy to believe all slander about its history. But it does not necessary make it true. Crazy traitor Solzhenitzin is especially credible source of information. Do not make me laugh.
I've read the great book 'Gulag' by Anne Applebaum and I found there that the escapes from Gulag from time to time had happend...would be amazing to hear people stories who did it; at least somedoby is going to make a film about it!
haha why can't they speak in russian to each other? requisite attempts at sarcasm, guy who has to get back to his gal, a wise and disillusioned older guy, inspirational operatic soundtrack...this movie will be terrible. pity the talents of farrell and harris are being waster in this.
Well, All i can say about this movie. That this movie is gonna be a huge huge and huge blockbuster of all time. And im pretty much sure about this. All my favourite actors and ofcourse my great greater greatest friend sersh is in there. There4 i'll pray through the bottom of my heart for my friend success and for this movie...!
My only criticism is, they look way too healthy! the book clearly states they went without shaving and bathing with soap for 11 months. however each of these scenes looks just that, a manicured movie scene. Still looks great though can't wait to see it!
@PIECE2YOURMOTHA Yeah, I always wondered how the harsh realities of the book would be adapted to Hollywood. In the book they were far from presentable and it bade that missionary to pass a snobbish judgement on them.
This is not movie about criminals, Witold Glinski(by the way-Slawomir Rawicz too) and all other polish members of that story were polish soldiers captured and sent to gulags, only the character played by Collin Farrel was a criminal
Only because Hitler was an insane psychopathic and he returned against Russia you joined Allies, if not that, you would fight arm to arm with his Nazi-butchers
And stop lying that people from such countries like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, or west Ukraine wanted to join you- they HATE you
Ninelon I'm sick of your lies- they sounds like disgusting communies propaganda.
17 september 1939 you fulfilled a secret German-Russian pact Ribentrop-Molotov which divides Poland into two parts. Russia despite of Polish-Russian pact of non-agression unexpectedly attacked Poland, our armies coudn't regroup on the east of country to made a counter attack couse your betrayed blocked that plan.
All countries have brought dead at least once to its own people....so, deal with it, whereever you are, Russia, Deutschland, USA, France, whatever....
@NickRiviera10 and Jim Sturgess and Ed Harriss and Mark Strong and Colin Farrel and not forgetting that its a Peter Weir movie,yeh this is gonna be cool
@Ninelon I don't think so, because founders of the Gulag slave labor system (Trotsky, Frenkel, Yagoda, Kogan, Berman, Sverdlov, etc) weren't ethnic Russians. And most of prisoners in Gulag were Russians. So the movie rather sympathises with the suffering of Russian people under the Communist regime.
@Piirikaitse Most prisoners were russians because russians were the biggest nation, there were russians among leaders of the USSR as well. Also GULAGs were not bad, you guys are all brainwashed. Also, I don't understand why people sympathize to the bandits. Those who were in GULAGs were mostly criminals, murders etc.
@Ninelon Conditions of prisoners in Gulags were too bad even for worst murderers. I don't have exact percentage but it's well-known that there were many political prisoners in Gulags, such as Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, etc freedomfighters. Those people are who I sympathize to. See, people were sent to those slave labor camps even for telling political jokes. You Russians should really read more of Solzhenitsyn and similar books.
@Piirikaitse Russia do not denies that we had political prisoners. But their numbers were just 20 %, maybe even smaller. Solzhenitsyn is a big lier. Actually, he was in GULAG because he co-operated with Nazis! If he would serve in american army he would be shot! And we didn't shot him, we just sent him to GULAG! By the way, he was sick and he was healed there and he lived very long life! His books must be burned, because this books sucks.
@Ninelon Any proof to those claims about Solzhenitsyn? After all, seeing what had happened in Russia since 1917, I would have co-operated with anyone to destroy Communism. So you admit that there were "political prisoners" - innocent people who were prisoned, forced to work and even killed against their will - and thus you should not criticize this movie. This movie talks about prisoners of war - nobody has right to force captured enemy soldiers to the slave labor.
@Piirikaitse If you know Russian I can give you many links. I guess you can even find that this guy was a traitor even if you will search it on English! Also, this is the dumbest thing I ever heard! About co-operation with anyone.
I admit that there were innocents, but we have innocents in jails even today... So I don't see any problems here.
Well, ask any survivor of Holodomor, Gulag, mass deportations or any other victim of countless Soviet war crimes do they also love Stalin. I don't deny that Stalin's brainwashing system was very effective.
@Piirikaitse Soviet-polish war? Lol. It was not even a war! We just returned our lands which Poland stoled from Russia during the Russian civil war. And what about thousands of Red Army soldiers who died in the polish camps at 1920 years. Also, Holodomor is a bullshit because my region also had terrible hunger. But the fact is that the most of the old soviet people love Stalin. Plus, if Stalin regime would be so terrible it would delete any proofs.
@Ninelon Whatever excuses you may have for a war, it doesn't justify mistreat of prisoners. You can't use revenge for innocent people.
Sure there were many hungers in that time, I just took Holodomor for example because it's best known and best proven that the hunger was organized by Communist authorities.
Old Soviet people don't love the real Stalin - they do love the image of Stalin created by Soviet propaganda. Your argument is invalid.
People describe how crops were taken away from fields so Ukrainian people couldn't get food. And I don't think that people such as Soviet leaders (many of whom weren't even Russians) actually cared about Russia and other Soviet-conquered countries - they were rather imperialists than nationalists. Yeah, well, the fact that many people who hadn't ever met him or heard about his crimes makes no sense here.
@Ninelon Russia, Ukraine, Belarus - commies tried to conquer Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and other countries too, but fortunately they failed.
@Piirikaitse All thise countries were parts of the Russian Empire, we just wanted to return them. And by the way, many citizens of this countries wanted to join.... :D
@Ninelon You know, there's the right of nations to self-determination which states that people who have declared independence from other countries must have their desire for freedom realized. Even Lenin wrote that he agreed to that principle (although he did it only in words). Actually majority of people everywhere fought against Communism (ok - maybe not in Russia - Bolshevik propaganda was very massive there). So, Communists had just destroyed the Russian Empire and then - what? Restore it?
@Piirikaitse I doubt that USA would give independence to Texas for example if something would happen there. :D
Communists didn't destroy the Russian Empire, Russian Empire felt during the February revolution which was made without communints, Lenin was not even in Russia during that revolution.
But not all people wanted independece, you must admit that. What about them? Also, I don't see any crimes here.
@Ninelon So you're claiming that Communists actually supported the Russian Empire or what? If the Czarist government had fell about a year before and meanwhile, many countries had proclaimed independence - even if commies had come to power in legal way, they had no right whatsoever over other countries. And did they really want to get only land which had belonged to Russia? What about the "world revolution"?

I've read the great book 'Gulag' by Anne Applebaum and I found there that the escapes from Gulag from time to time had happend...would be amazing to hear people stories who did it; at least somedoby is going to make a film about it!

My only criticism is, they look way too healthy! the book clearly states they went without shaving and bathing with soap for 11 months. however each of these scenes looks just that, a manicured movie scene. Still looks great though can't wait to see it!

This is not movie about criminals, Witold Glinski(by the way-Slawomir Rawicz too) and all other polish members of that story were polish soldiers captured and sent to gulags, only the character played by Collin Farrel was a criminal

Only because Hitler was an insane psychopathic and he returned against Russia you joined Allies, if not that, you would fight arm to arm with his Nazi-butchers
And stop lying that people from such countries like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, or west Ukraine wanted to join you- they HATE you
Igor7668 1 year ago
These territories belongs to Poland for hundreds of years, it has never been yours except an occupation in 19th century
After double German-Russian punch, Russians sent to syberia 240,000 polish people and killed 30,000 polish officers in Katyń.
Igor7668 1 year ago
Ninelon I'm sick of your lies- they sounds like disgusting communies propaganda.
17 september 1939 you fulfilled a secret German-Russian pact Ribentrop-Molotov which divides Poland into two parts. Russia despite of Polish-Russian pact of non-agression unexpectedly attacked Poland, our armies coudn't regroup on the east of country to made a counter attack couse your betrayed blocked that plan.

This movie is anti-russian piece of shit!
Ninelon 1 year ago
@Ninelon I don't think so, because founders of the Gulag slave labor system (Trotsky, Frenkel, Yagoda, Kogan, Berman, Sverdlov, etc) weren't ethnic Russians. And most of prisoners in Gulag were Russians. So the movie rather sympathises with the suffering of Russian people under the Communist regime.
Piirikaitse 1 year ago
@Piirikaitse Most prisoners were russians because russians were the biggest nation, there were russians among leaders of the USSR as well. Also GULAGs were not bad, you guys are all brainwashed. Also, I don't understand why people sympathize to the bandits. Those who were in GULAGs were mostly criminals, murders etc.
Ninelon 1 year ago
@Ninelon Conditions of prisoners in Gulags were too bad even for worst murderers. I don't have exact percentage but it's well-known that there were many political prisoners in Gulags, such as Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, etc freedomfighters. Those people are who I sympathize to. See, people were sent to those slave labor camps even for telling political jokes. You Russians should really read more of Solzhenitsyn and similar books.
Piirikaitse 1 year ago
@Piirikaitse Russia do not denies that we had political prisoners. But their numbers were just 20 %, maybe even smaller. Solzhenitsyn is a big lier. Actually, he was in GULAG because he co-operated with Nazis! If he would serve in american army he would be shot! And we didn't shot him, we just sent him to GULAG! By the way, he was sick and he was healed there and he lived very long life! His books must be burned, because this books sucks.
Ninelon 1 year ago
@Ninelon Any proof to those claims about Solzhenitsyn? After all, seeing what had happened in Russia since 1917, I would have co-operated with anyone to destroy Communism. So you admit that there were "political prisoners" - innocent people who were prisoned, forced to work and even killed against their will - and thus you should not criticize this movie. This movie talks about prisoners of war - nobody has right to force captured enemy soldiers to the slave labor.
Piirikaitse 1 year ago
@Piirikaitse If you know Russian I can give you many links. I guess you can even find that this guy was a traitor even if you will search it on English! Also, this is the dumbest thing I ever heard! About co-operation with anyone.
I admit that there were innocents, but we have innocents in jails even today... So I don't see any problems here.
Prisoners of which war?
Ninelon 1 year ago
@Ninelon Prisoners of Soviet-Polish war in 1939.
Well, ask any survivor of Holodomor, Gulag, mass deportations or any other victim of countless Soviet war crimes do they also love Stalin. I don't deny that Stalin's brainwashing system was very effective.
Piirikaitse 1 year ago
@Piirikaitse Soviet-polish war? Lol. It was not even a war! We just returned our lands which Poland stoled from Russia during the Russian civil war. And what about thousands of Red Army soldiers who died in the polish camps at 1920 years. Also, Holodomor is a bullshit because my region also had terrible hunger. But the fact is that the most of the old soviet people love Stalin. Plus, if Stalin regime would be so terrible it would delete any proofs.
Ninelon 1 year ago
@Ninelon Whatever excuses you may have for a war, it doesn't justify mistreat of prisoners. You can't use revenge for innocent people.
Sure there were many hungers in that time, I just took Holodomor for example because it's best known and best proven that the hunger was organized by Communist authorities.
Old Soviet people don't love the real Stalin - they do love the image of Stalin created by Soviet propaganda. Your argument is invalid.
Piirikaitse 1 year ago
@Piirikaitse
Why communist authorities organized hunger in their own country? What's the point? Its sounds really dumb. This is the bullshit!
Actually, your arguments are are invalid because people love Stalin anyway. Even his enemies love him in Russia, Belarus and Ucraine!
Ninelon 1 year ago
@Ninelon See this: watch?v=KnnUHdlTkto
People describe how crops were taken away from fields so Ukrainian people couldn't get food. And I don't think that people such as Soviet leaders (many of whom weren't even Russians) actually cared about Russia and other Soviet-conquered countries - they were rather imperialists than nationalists. Yeah, well, the fact that many people who hadn't ever met him or heard about his crimes makes no sense here.

Ninelon 1 year ago
@Ninelon You know, there's the right of nations to self-determination which states that people who have declared independence from other countries must have their desire for freedom realized. Even Lenin wrote that he agreed to that principle (although he did it only in words). Actually majority of people everywhere fought against Communism (ok - maybe not in Russia - Bolshevik propaganda was very massive there). So, Communists had just destroyed the Russian Empire and then - what? Restore it?
Piirikaitse 1 year ago
@Piirikaitse I doubt that USA would give independence to Texas for example if something would happen there. :D
Communists didn't destroy the Russian Empire, Russian Empire felt during the February revolution which was made without communints, Lenin was not even in Russia during that revolution.
But not all people wanted independece, you must admit that. What about them? Also, I don't see any crimes here.
Ninelon 1 year ago
@Ninelon So you're claiming that Communists actually supported the Russian Empire or what? If the Czarist government had fell about a year before and meanwhile, many countries had proclaimed independence - even if commies had come to power in legal way, they had no right whatsoever over other countries. And did they really want to get only land which had belonged to Russia? What about the "world revolution"?
