As long as they don't threaten our access to Koskenkorva and sauna I don't see major issues.

If they do...

Are you referring to the sci-fi movie starring Jeff Goldblum, or is this the anniversary of the Fins kicking the bums of 23,000,000,000 Soviets armed only with a Frying Pan?

It was 23,000,000,001 Soviets.

BTW, the movie "Talvisota" (=Winter War) theatrical version is on youtube with english subtitles:

Very good movie if you ask me, realistic and no silly romantic stuff.

Love the music in the title sequence.

Oh, and I think I'll watch that movie.

So is the (less common) 1985 version of . The 1955 version has been uploaded too, but it doesn't have subtitles.

As far as movies go, I haven't ever really understood why on every independence day we show on TV the 1955 version of a movie depicting the Continuation War and not a movie depicting the Winter War.

If we absolutely have to show a movie of either, I mean: another thing I have never understood is why the independence day seems to be an exclusive war commemoration day, as if there wasn't anything else to talk about in the history of independent Finland. And why it has to be so stupidly gloomy too? We are celebrating independence by remembering all the things that sucked in our history? I'm all for respecting the veterans and remembering the wars (the collective myths related to them not so much) but can't we do something else too?

(And no, following the president's party and gossiping about the clothes of the guests doesn't count.

)

It was actually a frying pan in one hand an an empty viina bottle in the other.

Hate to rain on your parade, guys, but it was the French and the Brits.
