The two who escape are Flyora and a young mother with her child. The Nazis hurl the child back inside and drag the woman by the hair to a truck where they do... things to her and dump her on the side of the road afterwards. They also drag Flyora around and hold a gun to his head for a photoshoot, and then just dump him in the middle of the village and go. But Flyora and the woman are alive, though they might wish they weren't.

He is continually denied opportunities to use it, until the very last scene where he unloads a full magazine into a portrait of Hitler, bringing the theme of the film full circle.

After the Nazis' photo with Flyora, they just walk off and leave him behind. As the death squad marches out the few survivors they've taken prisoner, one last member on a motorcycle spots Flyora collapsed in the burnt-out village. The Nazi kicks him once and snaps, "Hey!" But when Flyora doesn't respond, he simply drives away, not bothering to either force him to join the others or kill him.

When they go up against Kosach's partisans rather than the scared, defenseless civilians they're used to terrorizing, they get slain to a man. This is Truth in Television, as these types of death squads were intended to sow terror amongst civilians rather than fight organized resistance effectively and were little more than psychotic rabble. The "Little Policeman" is an extremely small Nazi collaborator who is the loudest and most aggressive member of the group, but he's also the victim of the others' constant abuse.

When a mother escapes through the window with her young son, they proceed to toss the son back inside and then drag the mother off to be gang-raped. When they are later ambushed, the blonde SS-Obersturmfuhrer proudly proclaims that he targets children because "It's with children that it all begins".

The only vaguely heroic thing Flyora does is balk at the idea of killing Hitler as an infant. On the other hand, the film also shows how not resisting in the face of such atrocity can be suicidal or wasting whatever opportunity one might have to make some kind of difference. Ultimately, the deconstruction shows that there is nothing inherently right or glorious about resistance or compliance, and when War Is Hell, it can be impossible for a given person to know the right answer.

Their massacre of Perekhody has the atmosphere of a deranged carnival, as the soldiers get drunk and cavort about, setting fire to the buildings and raping every woman they get their hands on. The depiction is based on the Dirlewanger Brigade, led by the psychopathic Oskar Dirlewanger and composed mostly of temporarily released criminals who disgusted even other SS units with their behavior.

Come and See / int_b06bbf4b	comment	Be Careful What You Wish For: The film starts with Flyora as a gung-ho volunteer, eager to fight the invading Germans. As the film progresses, we follow his transformation as he experiences the horrific realities of war. When the partisans come to Flyora's village to recruit him, they are disguised as German soldiers, and the villagers greet them with food. Likewise, when the Einsatzgruppe arrives in Perekhody later in the film, a few of the inhabitants welcome them as liberators, believing that they will take them to Germany. The "Little Policeman" is the SS brigade's resident chew toy. He's mercilessly teased and bullied by the other soldiers, but he still sucks up to them because he wants to be seen as a fellow Aryan. He's mortified when he joins them in front of the firing squad at the end despite them not considering him their equal. In the last scene, when the Russian collaborator asks for a match, he is actually yelling "Fire!" The partisans oblige his request.

Come and See / int_b0e8d4f7	comment	Atrocity Montage: The main protagonist Flyora, a young soldier, encounters the horrors of war that shatter his innocence into a Shell-Shocked Veteran such as the massacre of the Belarusian village by the SS Einsatzgruppen. These are punctuated by the unsettling, hallucinatory cinematography and the fact these atrocities happened in actual history.

Come and See / int_b3e3a659	comment	Trading Bars for Stripes: During the introductory scene of the "Little Policeman" character (when he grabs Flyora's face and throws him to the ground), it's shown very briefly that his forearms are covered in what look like prison tattoos. This implies that he was a criminal of some description who joined the Waffen-SS for opportunistic reasons, not unlike many of the ex-convict collaborators who aided the Dirlewanger brigade in real life.

Come and See / int_b6c6e9ed	comment	Violence Is Disturbing: Is it ever! Possibly a subversion, though, because surprisingly, for a film like this, there is not much actual violence shown onscreen. Instead, we're shown the reactions to violence, the aftermath of violence, or it cuts away before the violent act takes place. In an interview, the director jokes that if they had shown actual violence, then no one would have wanted to see such a movie.

Most of them answer only with stubborn silence and stay where they are. The church is burned down.

In particular, the final sequence in which Flyora finds a framed photo of Adolf Hitler in the mud, and begins shooting it, reversing time in archive footage until it rewinds all the way to a photograph of Hitler as a baby. Flyora ultimately decides not to shoot the baby Hitler.

But given what he had just witnessed, death would've been a welcome relief. The woman who was dragged by her hair to be brutally raped offscreen while watching her little boy be killed is later dumped on the side of the road, catatonic and mentally broken. Three Nazis spare a senile old woman while slaughtering the rest of the village. They leave her in her bed outdoors with no one left alive to care for her, almost certainly to die of exposure. She doesn't even seem to understand what's going on.
