The Unknown Soldier (Finnish: Tuntematon sotilas) is a Finnish film directed by Edvin Laine and premiered in December 1955. It is based on The Unknown Soldier, a novel by Väinö Linna. The story is about the Continuation War between Finland and the Soviet Union as told from the viewpoint of ordinary Finnish soldiers. The film was and remains the most successful movie ever in Finland; about 2.8 million people, or more than half the Finnish population, saw it in theaters. Its portrayal of Linna's characters is widely accepted as canonical.
About the novel the movie is based on:
The novel has no single central character (it both begins and ends with an ironic play on the narrator's omniscience), and its focus is on different responses to the experience of war.It tells the story of a machine gun company in the war from mobilisation to armistice.
A picture of the whole nation in microcosm, the men come from all over the country (a result of Linna's unusual patchwork regiment - units were normally made up of men from the same region.) The men have widely varying social backgrounds and political attitudes, and they all have their own ways of coping, but the general picture is one of a quite relaxedly businesslike attitude, and the men's disrespect for formalities and discipline is a source of frustration for some of the officers. They are all there just to get the job done, and official propaganda, both their own and that of the enemy, is to them a source of amusement or outright offensive. Linna's own description of the men in the novel's final sentence is "aika velikultia" — something like "good old boys". The main officer characters are three lieutenants who embody different attitudes: one strict and aloof, one relaxed and fraternal, one idealistic and later disillusioned but brave and loyal to his men.
Ja hiukan jäkätystä suomeksi:
Ihan hyvä filmatisointi loistavasta romaanista. Mikäli Linnan romaani tai Laineen filmatisointi kiinnostaa, niin netistä löytyy lisätiatoo. Ei jaksa tähän laittaa. Sen verran täytyy sanoa henkilökohtaisena mielipiteenä, että Linnan romaanin pasifistinen pohjavire siitä, kuinka sodankäynti on ihmis-
kunnan organisoitua hulluutta, on vaihtunut elokuvassa pari piirua romanti-
soidumpaan ja patrioottisempaan näkökantaan. Pahiten kuitenkin hiertää jotkut näyttelijävalinnat. Tarkemmin sanottuna näyttelijät ovat auttamattomasti liian vanhoja esittämään varusmiehiä. Varsinkin Rahikainen, jonka pitäisi olla nuori, salskea naistenmies ja tarinan alussa suorittamassa varusmiespalvelustaan, on 46-vuotiaan Kaarlo Halttusen esittämänä kuin antiteesi romaanin kuvauksesta - ainakin mitä ulkonäköön tulee.
Torrentin uppaajan arvosana: 3½ varsinaista ja jalustaa 5:stä.
