Somewhere in the remote region, the war ends. In the midst of ruined cities and houses in the streets, in rural hamlets, everywhere where people still live, are children who have lost their homes and parents. Abandoned, hungry, and in rags, defenseless and humiliated, they wander through the world. Hunger drives them. Little streams of orphans merge into a river which rushes forward and submerges everything in its path. The children do not know any feeling; they know only the world of their enemies. They fight, steal, struggle for a mouthful of food, and violence is merely a means to get it. A gang led by Cahoun finds a refuge in an abandoned castle and encounters an old composer who has voluntarily retired into solitude from a world of hatred, treason, and crime. How can they find a common ground, how can they become mutual friends? The castle becomes their hiding place but possibly it will also be their first home which they may organize and must defend. But even for this, the price will be very high.
To this simple story, the journalist, writer, poet, scriptwriter, movie director, and film theoretician Béla Balázs applied many years of experience. He and the director Géza Radványi created a work which opened a new postwar chapter in Hungarian film. Surprisingly, this film has not lost any of its impact over the years, especially on a profound philosophical level. That is to say, it is not merely a movie about war; it is not important in what location and in what period of time it takes place. It is a story outside of time about the joyless fate of children who pay dearly for the cruel war games of adults.
At the time it was premiered, the movie was enthusiastically received by the critics. The main roles were taken by streetwise boys of a children's group who created their roles improvisationally in close contact with a few professional actors, and in the children's acting their own fresh experience of war's turmoil appears to be reflected. At the same time, their performance fits admirably into the mosaic of a very complex movie language. Balázs's influence revealed itself, above all, in the introductory sequences: an air raid on an amusement park, seen in a montage of dramatic situations evoking the last spasms of war, where, undoubtedly, we discern the influence of classical Soviet cinematography. Shooting, the boy's escape, the locomotive's wheels, the shadows of soldiers with submachine guns, the sound of a whistle—the images are linked together in abrupt sequences in which varying shots and expressive sharp sounds are emphasized. A perfectly planned screenplay avoided all elements of sentimentality, time-worn stereotypes of wronged children, romanticism and cheap simplification. The authors succeeded in bridging the perilous dramatic abyss of the metamorphosis of a children's community. Their telling of the story (the scene of pillaging, the assault on the castle, etc) independently introduced some neorealist elements which, at that time, were being propagated in Italy by De Sica, Rossellini, and other film artists. The rebukes of contemporary critics, who called attention to "formalism for its own sake" have been forgotten. The masterly art of cameraman Barnabás Hegyi gives vitality to the poetic images. His angle shots of the children, his composition of scenes in the castle interior, are a living document of the times, and underline the atmosphere and the characters of the protagonists. The success of the picture was also enhanced by the musical art of composer Dénes Buday who, in tense situations, inserted the theme of the Marseilaise into the movie's structure, as a motive of community unification, as an expression of friendship and the possibility of understanding.
Valahol Europaban is the first significant postwar Hungarian film. It originated in a relaxed atmosphere, replete with joy and euphoria, and it includes these elements in order to demonstrate the strength of humanism, tolerance, and friendship. It represents a general condemnation of war anywhere in the world, in any form.

●7.5分
刚开始看：这片子水平还是不错的，有三星的水平。比第一部流畅很多，风格统一，细节到位，意识到了文戏不足就少拍文戏多拍打戏，战场的残忍尺度也比第一部更大。虽然整体仍是差不多的跌宕起伏和主旋律煽情，但胜在完成度高…调度、演员、剧本巴拉巴拉
看得非常心疼，知道结局的情况下，看着志愿军门英勇向前冲，更是难受。珍惜现在的生活，居安思危，这么多年来，美国还是我们的对手！
单就这部电影来说，拍得简直是...
让你破防的并不是只回来了一人，而是那些千千万万至死未回的人。
比长津湖更沉重更好精彩。 大年初一和8岁的侄子一起去看，整个厅里好多小朋友，他们都看的很认真。我8岁的侄子已经能清楚知道抗美援朝打的是美国，后面的小女孩哭了好久。我想这就是意义，历史不能忘记。致敬伟大的志愿军烈士。
bp了几天视频会员，正好看了。比前一部好些，但还是有些毛病。敌机来袭，战斗指挥员下令分散隐蔽，战士们还慢条斯理回头去看？？？这是想表现个啥
强大的工业实力也是战争的一部分，还好我们现在也有了很高的实力了。
我哥看电影之前剧透骗我说最后只死了一个人，我满怀期望看到最后👋🏻👋🏻
掐掉后半小时会更好，请相信观众，即使没有刻意的升华也能体会到主旨。
相比起用难看来形容，影像和题材的割裂是更合适的表述。无论是动作桥段的设计逻辑还是情感表达，本应严肃写实的历史战争题材被精心包装成香港警匪电影了。这也是我看电影以来，为数不多画面过亮的电影，夜晚如白天，白天如正午。打光很有世纪初港片的光线调度的感觉，还有各种光晕，整的像科幻片。镜头调度上《水门桥》和《智取威虎山》很接近，有一些用多了就很违和的长镜头和特效镜头，但后者但战斗规模较小，题材有演绎成分，即使处理稍显夸张，违和感尚没有这样强。但在大场景调度上如此的镜头调度就真的很拧巴。剧情上槽点也不少，但如果把它当作架空背景的港片去看，多多少少也就能接受些了。
太惨烈了，太惨烈了！看的很难受，大场面特效拍的都不错，就是现在看不得太悲的电影，心情久久平复不了。
题材很沉重 演员阵容强 整个电影给人的震撼力和后韵都很足
失败了我们连送死的反击机会都不会有了
一顿狂轰乱炸，真的是一顿狂轰乱炸，演员这妆化的我真难受，又冷又疼
这真是一个很难很难拍的电影啊。以及，这部比上一部又更血腥了。
很适合去影院看，视效音效很好，林超贤的电影战争场面都一流
