April 9th (2015) "9. april"

User Reviews

This is one of the best war movies I have ever seen. The film follows a small group of Danish soldiers thrown unexpectedly into the meat grinder to try and slow the German advance. The movie never falls for exaggerated heroism, nor for the ubiquitous pacifism one finds in most war movies. With the patience of a historian it purports to present the experiences of a small number of Danish soldiers in the early hours of April the 9th, 1940. The film is a thorough anatomy of what happens with soldiers under fire. It focuses on the soldier's training, equipment, leadership and so on. Many aspects of world war two, which we know from memoirs or journals, are present in the movie, even the adverse psychological effect of seeing huge numbers of enemy planes. Other reviewers address the pitiful state of the Danish army in this movie. This is just wrong. The movie presents an army which is well trained, well equipped, well led, well motivated and which knew the terrain of battle extremely well. They were however heavily outnumbered and out-gunned. A great war movie.
