The director of the film, Aku Louhimies, had a vision remake this film for the audience of today. 'Nobody questions why are you making Macbeth again,' he said to me when I was wondering if we really need another version of the story. Louhimies makes sense, though. The younger generation of today hardly knows the book and even a smaller part know about the movie.
The Unknown Soldier, the story, the characters, their experiences and suffering are part of Finland’s national legacy – and part of the identity of the war generation and their children. It is a story we must not forget.
Aku Louhimies’ film The Unknown Soldier is a film about Finns: those who experienced the war and we who hope that we will never have to experience it. This is the third film adaptation of the classic novel by Väinö Linna, stemming from a need to reiterate the story to the younger generations in language and visuals that they can identify with. It is a vehicle for processing an experience that has united and divided generations.
