The influence of the Winter War in popular culture has been deep and wide, not only in Finnish culture, but also worldwide. The Finnish struggle against the Soviet Union has been seen as a classic David versus Goliath situation. The Winter War began three months after World War II started, and the war had full media attention as other European fronts had a calm period. == Movies and television == The 1940 play ''There Shall Be No Night'' by American playwright Robert E. Sherwood was inspired by a moving Christmas 1939 broadcast to America by war correspondent Bill White of CBS. The play was produced on Broadway in 1940, and won the 1941 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The 1940 American film ''Ski Patrol'' features a Finnish reserve unit defending the border against Russians.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Ski Patrol'' (1940) )〕 The film took great historical liberties in its storyline and was photographed by the Hollywood master Milton Krasner. In 1989, the Finnish movie ''Talvisota'' was released. This film tells the story of a Finnish platoon of reservists from Kauhava. The platoon belongs to the 23rd Infantry Regiment, which consists almost solely of men from Southern Ostrobothnia. The 2006 documentary ''Fire and Ice: The Winter War of Finland and Russia'' shows how the Winter War influenced World War II and how Finland mobilized against the world's largest military power. In 2011 Philip Kaufman began filming HBO's Hemingway & Gellhorn, which features Martha Gellhorn (played by Nicole Kidman) reporting from Finland during The Winter War. Steven Wiig portrays Simo Häyhä, leading a group of Finnish soldiers to shelter. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Winter War in popular culture」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
