It's heartbreaking that he just tells everyone else "bye", except for his mother... She hugs him and he turns to look at her. For some reason I think it's because he wants to memorize his mother, in case he won't come back. And when you know he dies... It's just... I can't. Shows the love between a son and a mother.
he was one my favorite characters outside of Antti/Rokka. this scene by the way, was not in my English version of movie. koskela has that quiet humility and self-sacrificing integrity which I admire so much in a man.
@@mr.c6324 The series also didn't have some scenes shown in the original extended cut of the movie, which was a bit weird and also disappointing considering the total runtime of the series way outlasts the original Finnish cut.
Disappointing to see the way they portrayed Vilhos father here. Like the writers never opened Väinö Linnas books. Akseli Koskela was immensely proud of his sons in the front and even toyed with the idea of going with them. That was an important point of his character arc. Here he is just rendered as a spiteful old man…
Pelkkänä TV-elokuvana tuo on ihan hyvä kuvaus Koskelan lähdöstä sotaan, sitoo hänen hahmonsa vaikka siihen juppottelu kohtaukseen ja muutenkin hänen läheiseen suhteeseen miehistöön.
@@psynque Kyllä, mutta ois pitäny paremmin kuvata perhettä jos oot kahtonu täällä pohjantähden alla niin koskelan isä on ihan eri persoona ja täysin eri näköinenkin muuten kyllä 5/5 lehva
@@DayOfTheRope Juu mutta valtaosa tämän elokuvan katsoneista ei ole lukenut Pohjatähteä. Jos tässä olisi kuvattu Akseli vanhat vihat unohtaneena ei Vilhon käytös olisi osunut ollenkaan. Tietysti kirjojen kokonaisuudessa se nivoutuu yhteen mutta ei 90 minuutin elokuvassa.
It’s so nice that they included these characters from Koskela’s family. The father shown here is actually the main character in a separate trilogy of books.
It isn’t 😀. As half tavastian, half Karelian I can tell you that Karelians are very talkative but tavastians are not quiet either. Karelians show more feelings, tavastians rather not, and that’s why they are quiet in this scene. Too many feelings.
