Framom Främsta Linjen is more than just "based upon a true story", it IS the true story. This movie is about IR-61, a batallion of Finnish-Swedes (Finns who speak Swedish) and their life during the Continuation War (1941-1944), defending Finland from Russia (I will not go into any details about the war itself). When you watch this movie you have to keep in mind that all of the events and the dialogue are almost 100% accurate. Harry Järv himself and other veterans from IR-61 worked side by side with Åke Lindman and made sure that everything was acted out exactly as it happened more than 60 years ago.
The actors did a good job most of the times, considering the fact that most of them haven't starred in any previous movies. Harry Järv (Tobias Zilliacus) and Alpo Kullervo Marttinen (Ilkka Heiskanen) were great! If you get the time and opportunity I urge you to watch Framom Främsta Linjen. Don't miss this movie!
Finally... This movie has awoken a lot of forgotten memories in the hearts of the veterans and their families, they all leave the cinema with tears in their eyes. My own grandfather fought for the freedom that I have today in that very same war under the same horrible conditions. Unfortunately he didn't live long enough to see Framom Främsta Linjen.
