ANASTASIA Clip - "Train" (1997) Meg Ryan

[@GreyWolfLeaderTW]

The whole Train Escape sequence in Anastasia is one of my favorite action scenes in animated film history. The degree of detail and the well-composed combination of cel-animation and 3D animation really sell the terror and flying-by-the-seat-of-their-pants excitement that such an escape would have.

The steam engine in this clip is a modified Swiss 1912 2-6-2 tender steam locomotive. While the Ye class 2-10-0 was the most prolific steam locomotive in Russia during the last decade of Czarist rule, my favorite Soviet steam engines are the FD and LV class 2-10-2 locomotives, the Su class 2-6-2 engine, the Iosif Stalin-class 2-8-4, and the P36-class 4-8-4 locomotive.

[@quillmaurer6563]

Is there a class name or number or something for that type? I'd be interested in looking up photos for comparison. It's interesting how things looked very realistic but were a bit geographically out of place (there aren't any large mountains like this anywhere along any plausible route from St. Petersberg to Paris as far as I know) so a Swiss locomotive - probably something the movie makers had for reference but didn't consider the historic relevance of - feels sensible. Likewise the ship they're on in later scenes - the "Tasha" - appears to be a WWI Naval cruiser de-armed and converted into a passenger ship. Never seen such a conversion, and I believe the "Tasha" is fictional, but I suppose such a conversion might have happened. Overall this movie feels like it put a lot of effort into the visuals, plot, music, and characters, but was very loose with history and geography (most glaringly the relationship between Rasputin and the Romanofs, historically they were close friends).

Guys, I just had a massive brain moment. I think I know who Vladimir is based on. He is probably based on Count Woldemar Freedericksz (Vladimir Frederiks), the Minister of the Imperial Court during Nicholas II’s reign. He was very close to the imperial family and didn’t die until 1927. That would explain Vladimir saying he was a member of the court, close the imperial family, was known for being a somewhat humorous man, described by the French ambassador as “the personification of court life”, and it would explain why he knows the Dowager Empresses’ cousin (who is a completely fictional person). The only difference is that Vladimir is clearly much younger then Woldemar. Between 1920 and his death in 1927, he would’ve been between anywhere from 80 to 88, and Vladimir is clearly much younger, so I guess Woldemar only served as inspiration, rather then as a copy

[@blackbeauty2166]

very interesting

[@Crasher1982]

Probably also based on the real Dmitri and Vladimir (Dmitri Pavlovich Romanov, Tsar Nikolai II's young cousin) and Vladimir Purishkevich, who were two of the ones who assassinated Rasputin.

[@Edmonton-of2ec]

@@Crasher1982 Honestly I don’t think either serve as inspiration for the characters, nor do I think most of the non-royal characters in the film are inspired by politicians or members of the imperial outside of Nicholas II’s mother and Anastasia. Dmitri is probably based on Leonid Sednev, whose grandfather was named Dmitri Sednev and who served as an assistant to the family’s cook during their exile in Yekaterinburg. His uncle Ivan also worked for the family and was executed separately on the same day as the Romanov were.

[@iprobablyforgotsomething]

Anya keeps her cool, and her sass, but you gotta admit, Dmitri thinks fast on his feet and no one can say he isn't brave. They're a good match for each other. This is the only example of the "bickering = romance" type relationship that I've ever seen done right. Because it actually subtly inverts the trope, just as one is supposed to; the bickering isn't the romance. The *romance* is the romance, and the sweet moments between them are genuine and built on all the preceding moments where they got to know and trust each other. And they don't require either of them to be ooc, to have. The bickering they do engage in, is just two strong-willed people enjoying a good verbal competition and asserting themselves. This without ever saying anything truly hurtful or hitting each other's vulnerable spots (except in the pride, but anyone can see that their egos are resilient and self-healing). It's simultaneously lovely to re-watch and sad to be reminded that most slap-slap-kiss couples are poorly written imitations. And they're created by people who think : (1) utter loathing is the same thing as lust (2) lust = love (3) a relationship based on hate-sex is totally healthy and entirely unproblematic (4) nagging and put-downs are the most romantic and effective methods of communication. TL;DR -- they don't make characters / 'ships like this much anymore, now, do they??

[@doofenshmirtz-official]

This is my favorite comment here! It may just be the ace talking here, but I like that, to an extent, sexual tension takes a backseat to genuine compatibility and teamwork when it comes to why they end up together. That’s why I’m not super into the ending where they elope: because it seems too rushed and risky, and I feel like their entire dynamic was keeping each other grounded.

[@n4musica]

@@doofenshmirtz-official That’s true. For a long time I didn’t know eloping meant marriage because after seeing this movie as a child, I always thought getting married wasn’t right for their characters and I didn’t really believe they did. I thought elopement was just running away together for far too long 😂 Didn’t know there was a marriage component until probably like high school tbh. Thanks Anastasia…

[@mish375]

Simply put: both Dimitri and Anya/Anastasia have character development. Yes they bicker and there's a hint of tension there. But they actually have to get to know each other and trust each other before that relationship can develop. By the time it does you understand that their relationship has been built on something that feels real.

[@iprobablyforgotsomething]

@doofenshmirtz-official -- Aww, thanks! That's a nice compliment to come back and find to on a comment I'd actually forgotten I'd made (but is still true)! : ^__^ And if it helps, re their marriage... I mean, it's *Sophie* who says they eloped, not Anya's note, which means it's not confirmed. That doesn't mean they rushed to actually marry or even married at all. I imagine that even if they did, it'd be because it would protect Anya's reputation in a time / world where a woman's virtue was so highly speculated on and prized, as much as they did for love, but even if so, probably not right away. Because they seem like the kind of couple that really didn't need a piece of paper to affirm the bond they both knew they had.

As an engineer and train nerd, I love pondering the realisticness of all this. I've even thought Mythbusters analyzing this would be awesome. - Minions uber-charging the steam locomotive - I suspect they weren't actually super-heating the boiler, but instead driving it directly, steam irrelevant. Without more water being added to the boiler by the MIA fireman, the water level would drop and the crown sheet fusable plugs would melt. We actually see this happen at 4:30, after that there's no steam power - just minion power. Likewise, what happened to the locomotive crew? - Minions welding the coupling - I suspect this was plausible, but not really necessary. Uncoupling those cars wouldn't have been possible with the locomotive pulling, even if the screw could be loosened it would be necessary to unhook the chain, which isn't possible unless it's slack. I don't believe the screw can be entirely unscrewed. With it welded like that it would be impossible to uncouple even if the locomotive did stop pulling. I suspect welding it like that while being pulled actually would be possible, as the minions heated the metal so quickly that only the outer surface melted, the inner part staying cool and strong. - Dynamite blowing up the coupling - this I'm less sure of. I think it could work, but not the way they did it. I understand with dynamite most of the energy is directed radially, to the sides of the stick rather than out the ends. So standing it up on the coupling would have damaged the tender and baggage car significantly (as shown), but not broken the coupling. Laying it along the coupling (horizontal) and tying it in place would be more likely to work. Likewise, there were two chains between the cars under the coupling, I'd think those would keep dragging the baggage car if not unhooked first - I think that's their purpose, to prevent a runaway if the main coupling broke. If they can't hold the cars together, then they serve no purpose. - Derailing the car with a grapple hook and chain - this part seems the least likely. There's no way the hook could tear up the tracks like that. Most likely the hook or chain would snap off instantly. If not, it would tear through the ties, that actually isn't all that difficult to do. I know the Germans had a special car for ripping through ties to ruin tracks as a "Scorched Earth" policy, from what I recall it didn't actually require all that much power to tow it. Actually that would have been best for the protagonists as that would slow them down relatively quickly without derailing them. But assuming none of that happened, it appeared Dimitri somehow tied it to the rear bogie frame rather than the car frame, thus tearing the truck out from under the car - I suppose that might work. I'd think the entire car would slide to the side with the front bogie staying in place, wouldn't expect the front bogie to come off. If it did, the whole car would go off to the side into a snowbank (which could have been good or bad), the car ending up sideways sliding along the rails, balanced on them, doesn't seem realistic. - Another concern - what happens once they've jumped overboard? They're in deep snow in a Russian winter with no shelter, no source of heat, only some coats, and I doubt any of those three know much about wilderness survival. Rescue probably wouldn't come any time soon, as it wouldn't be until the train was way overdue at the next signal box that anyone would go looking for it. Coming from one direction is a destroyed bridge, and from the other the set of coaches cut loose earlier, so it would take quite a long time before anyone reached them. They'd be long frozen to death by then. - There's also the question of geography - where are these mountains? To my understanding there aren't any particularly large mountains, nothing like this, anywhere along any plausible route from St. Petersburg to France, mostly through northern Europe and the Baltics, those are mostly low-lying flat or rolling hills. Despite these questions, I'll always love this scene, one of my favorite childhood memories.

@@calebtrains2261 Yeah, the Russian Revolution at the beginning of the movie, which in real life killed Anastasia along with the rest of her family (this has been definitively proven since this movie was made) happened in 1912. This was said to be 10 years later, thus presumably 1922. I have a theory that the journey took place over several months, maybe even a year or more, rather than three days as Anya mentioned later in the movie, but we're still talking about the early '20s. I believe the Soviets went to the SA3 later on - this is one odd way the Europeans are still behind on rail technology, still using buffer-and-chain couplings to this day. The US was already using Janney couplers by then, I believe that shift happened in the 1880s or so, but that is oceans away from here. As for me engineering - did I ever mention such or are you just inferring? I have a degree in mechanical engineering, have dabbled in various jobs, and since decided to become a high school physics teacher as I find that career less stressful and way more rewarding. Just curious, why do you capitalize every word when you write? To me it seems a little weird, but I'm guessing you have a good reason for it.

@@quillmaurer6563 The Europeans Did Have A More Automatic Coupling Design Planned At One Point, Additionally. There's Also, A Hybrid Coupling System Of The Buffer And Chain And SA3 Called The C-AKv, Which Is Currently In Use In Germany. About Engineering, I was Just Asking Out Of Curiosity, And I Guess I Saw It In A Previous Comment. It's Just A Habit I Guess, Regarding Me Capitalizing Every First Letter In Every Word.

All about safety, as in the TV show "Danger Rangers" from Mighty Kids Media!

[@user-wd8vk8kl7b]

There's another secret way to interpret this movie. Anya doesn't have amnesia at all, Dimitri does. Dimitri is actually one of the older siblings living as "Dimitri" to stay safe. "Romantic" moments are actually just sibling banter. Rather than Anya just being strong enough to break Dimitri's nose it's probably a reference to the genetic problems. Hemophilia is only active with the Y chromosome but it was noted that Maria did seem to bleed more than normal and was a carrier for it.

Anastasia is one of my favorite childhood movies I watched it when I was young I remember watching this on ABC Family (now is called Freeform) with my mom back between 2012-2015 and the Train scene is my favorite of all of the movie

[@creativehorsequeen]

"Oh sorry, I thought you were someone...Oh it's you, well that's okay then" "Uh, Dimitri, I think someone has flambéed our engine" "C'mon, there's got to be something better than this" * Anya hands him dynamite * "That'll work!" Best quotes.

[@HPofNARNIA]

i like that Anya had her eyes closed when she gave Dimitri the dynamite.😆

Feels bad for any other trains that go through there, it takes trains miles before they come to a complete stop and if they didn't see the broken track on time... but then again they'll see the broken bridge...

5:31. This used to give me the heebie-jeebies when I was little. The dark music fits this scene perfectly

[@graysonchristian2668]

The thing about this movie is that the Rasputin sub plot could not exist and it would still be fun to watch. The best parts of the movie don’t feature him. And all his parts could be replaced with say a member of the Russian government trying to make sure Anya doesn’t make it home because they see her as a threat. The plot still progresses the same with or without Rasputin. He could not even be in the movie and it would still play fine.

I am not sure how effective it would have been, but I just realized there was a fire extinguisher on the wall of the baggage car next to the door leading to the tender. Although considering the USSR's track record when it comes to workplace safety, I doubt it would have been full.

I'm not sure

Don't know if that was historically accurate for the time, it also might have been thrown overboard in the explosion. The small fire after the explosion was really the least of their worries.
