Luta honrosa ou infernal?

Abstract

The Second World War has been a recurring theme in recent film productions. This article aims to analyze how the Russian film Tankers (2018) and the Italian film Once More Unto the Breach (2019) approached World War II, observing how they describe the participation of their respective countries of origin in the conflict. Considering the time gap between the facts reported and the release of the films, what should be remembered and in what way? Depending on how the story is told, War may seem like the ideal setting for heroes, or tormented ones.
