Manillaköysi is a cult status holding TVmovie adaptation of the satirical war novel by Veijo Meri Manillaköysi has an endless list of classic oneliners but it is still not based on cheap laughs or anything like that The whole humouristic aspect of it comes from describing the absurdity of war and the whole military system by looking it with the eyes of a simple man whos thrown into it and who simply does not give a rats ass of it all The tone of it is not overly preachy or moralizing If I would have to describe it with one word it would be unglamourizing The main point of Manillaköysi is pretty much compressed in one of the most famous quotes of it There is nothing supernatural about war it is just work like anything else
