The Beast (1988)
The Beast of War
Here it must be said about the set of characters, on the one hand, the majority of the faceless tank crew, which appears mostly for the sake of appearance, and on the other hand, the mock brave mujahideen, a kind of light knights of the desert, fighting for their homeland. This arrangement of priorities is quite understandable, because the authors are trying to show the image of an aggressive war against Afghanistan. From the crew of the tank, you can also distinguish the bespectacled honor and conscience of this film, a dull opposition to the insane Soviet military machine, the very Beast of War, but he infuriated me, so a few words about the commander. He's just cool, he has steel balls, he commands respect almost from the first minutes of the film, ordering a tank to run over a mujahid who knocked out one of the cars and set the entire crew on fire. This is one of the best films about the war.
