I watched Into the White, a movie showing the terrible event of two planes shot down in a small Norwegian isolated region. One of the planes was a British aircraft while the other was a German aircraft. All the people in both crews end up at the same cabin about two miles away from where each country's planes were shot down. There is a lot of tension between both crews since war has made them enemies. Both crews do realize that in order to survive the cold Norwegian winter they must try to get along as well as possible. They then come to agreements that they must get along to survive as best as they can with the weather getting colder and the snow coming down hard. The crews decide they need to get back to war and are making plans to leave the cabin until a big blizzard and harsh coldness comes and that keeps them at the cabin longer than expected. Towards the middle of the movie you see both crews trying to work together and staying healthy on what little food and heat they have in such small quarters. When food runs out two men are sent out to hunt Norwegian reindeer for food. Wood supply starts to run short for the fire the men start ripping down some of the extra wood in the cabin to put in the oven for warmth. When they start ripping up the flooring for wood to burn they unexpectedly find a suitcase with liquor, blankets, and dried food to eat, which was amazing since they had been without food for a few days. Close to the end of the movie people have finally realized that these planes have crashed and are going out to search for their crews. Then men have become very close since the beginning of the movie after one man had became very sick and is not able to move. The crew's time together has came to an end as British men have came to claim their territory. One of the German officers was shot down by British soldiers. The movie concludes when they are brought back to main land.
This movie portrays very well how this accident might have been back during World War II. The actions and words said by the actors well describe how it may have been originally said by the actual crews. Some of the movie was hard to follow because it was in three different languages (Norwegian, German, English), but for the most part it was an easy to follow movie. I would rate this film a 9/10.
