A "tinder box" is a box full of "tinder" which is small, thin, easily burnable shavings, sticks, etc that one would use to start a fire. The saying is implying that the situation is such that a small spark could set the whole situation on fire.

[@DracoSolon]

This is literally a love story to GenX. The soundtrack is just crazy good. And yes while the 80's had some questionable fashions it also had some seriously awesome ones.

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

It's very much what I'd call a "curated" version of the times, making the 80s look way cooler than it was. It takes what was aesthetically attractive and leaves out the rest: the giant perms, clothes with way too many zippers, and let's be honest, a lot of really BAD music. It may have been a colorful decade, but I don't recall it being soaked in neon haze all the time...that's a much more modern film look.

[@MichaelScheele]

The director of Atomic Blonde, David Leitch, also co-directed John Wick and directed Deadpool 2, Hobbs & Shaw, and Bullet Train. He's a former stuntman, so it makes sense he'd have a feel for fight scenes. US President Reagan gave his "Tear down this wall" speech in 1987, in front of the Brandenburg Gate (West Berlin). The Berlin Wall fell two years later. For those of us who grew up during the Cold War, the fall of the Berlin Wall was both unexpected and delightful. It was a historic moment like few others. If you like Cold War era spy movies, you might like Bridge of Spies. It was directed by Steven Spielberg and starred Tom Hanks. It's even based on historical events.

[@damianstarks3338]

The fight scenes are everything in this movie.

[@coffee8814]

everything bad

[@Retrostar619]

They're great. People actually getting tired while they fight? In a movie? It ups the realism and makes it more immersive. Well chorographed also.

[@coffee8814]

[@thomashiggins9320]

[@dennisswainston411]

Charlize did her own stunts in this movie.

[@Britcarjunkie]

Yes, in fact, she had to have emergency dental work done, because she broke 1 or 2 teeth during the big fight scene.

[@donaldjohnson1148]

My favorite Charlize Theron flick. She is so good at action films. She is one of my current favorite action stars. This flick and the fight choreography are directed very well and Charlize gives an incredible performance. Was so excited when I saw you were reacting to this.

[@steenbronkegmail1]

Now you seen this one - next The Old Guard also with Charlize Theron in the lead role.

[@stevetanner3019]

I just realized that the actress Sophia Boutella playing “Delphine”, is the same actress who plays “Gazelle” ( the girl with the blade feet) in “Kingsmen”.

[@YoureMrLebowski]

2:15 "Holy sh*t she looks gorgeous." yes she does 🌶️❤

[@MrTJPAS]

If you are looking for other Cold War spy movies, I would recommend The Man from UNCLE. It's not a John Wick style movie, but it has a good balance of humor, characters and story and a lot of people consider it underrated.

[@omeshsingh8091]

In terms of action scene execution, this film is a masterpiece.

[@hellreza]

I watched this in theater, and the sex scene was so loud but then goes quiet immediately. It was hilarious because as soon as it went quiet a guy said out loud "whoa" everyone heard him and started laughing.

[@YoureMrLebowski]

11:21 i love when dasha translates!

[@Johnny_Socko]

I don't know how this movie is not more popular or highly rated, I think every aspect is impeccable. From the cast to the cinematography to the action, everything is *chef's kiss*. (Admittedly the 1980s Berlin setting is an automatic win for me -- the time period & location made for some great drama & intrigue.)

[@normlee6566]

The sauna fight scene in Eastern Promises (also with russian characters) involving Viggo Mortensen (the actor who played Aragorn in Lord of the Rings) was, for me, the most brutal knife fight i have seen on film.

[@JohnnyXoz]

Dasha you're never telling us something ridiculous or boring, you are literally the most fascinating and interesting Russian living in Canada ever, but of course I don't know that many of them

[@redshirt5126]

"So even gangsters have to wake up with an alarm?" As someone who has met and talked with one or two gangsters in my life I can say that yes, they do use an alarm clock like the rest of us. 😆

[@steveross8364]

You shouldn't have revealed that. You're gonna wake up whacked one day...

[@martinboyle9163]

Reminds me of a joke my mother told me... "Why is being a lesbian like being in the mob?" Best to you-

[@Fantomex.]

Lol Dasha getting excited is always the best 😊

[@Josephhikes]

I love this movie and the music. I wish they would have made more like John Wick . We should be on Atomic Blonde 4 by now 👍

[@Theomite]

It's mostly the same people. They can't juggle two franchises simultaneously, otherwise they'd have to give over some films to other directors and crews and then we'd get really divergent quality. Better to have fewer and better than more and worse.

[@lnwolf41]

This was a great movie, have watched it several times. The music was fantastic, and I loved the realistic fights. I enjoyed how you were into the fashion, as well as commenting on the Russian language and how subtitles were slightly different.

[@warre1]

This and Red Sparrow with Jennifer Lawrence became around the same time and both are about Russian spies with female lead.

[@martinboyle9163]

Red Sparrow... gonna hafta see it now. Thanks for the recommendation! ♡

[@fastecp1]

Yes she is a beautiful lady, you should see her in the true story about the serial killer Aileen Wuornos "Monster 2003" she's not so beautiful in that, I could barely recognize her but she did win the Academy Award for best actress in it, you should watch it, I love true movies

[@LordVolkov]

The Russian in Atomic Blonde is excellent indeed. Also check out Hardcore Henry for some authentic Russian.

[@iAmPimmiCue]

The Old Guard is another great Charlize Theron film I recommend

[@Sherman1fan]

Great that they used "real" Russian, trying to be really authentic with language, fighting, brutal. Your analysis of Russian (use in movies) is enjoyable. The staircase/elevator was a one-shot or like a one-shot (the camera never cuts away). If you didn't get it at the end , we find out she is actually a triple agent American CIA acting as British spy. She has an American accent on the plane.

[@renzero9206]

The "stairwell fight" is amazing, but it isn't one take (though its made to look like it). There are "invisible cuts" during it. Doesn't take away from the scene though. I think its one of the best fight scenes in cinema tbh :) And I'm a huge fan of the film :)

[@EatPraySmoke]

You should definitely Watch Salt…… Evelyn Salt

[@centinelaatomico]

This was my first Sofia Boutella movie, one of the most gorgeous women in the world

[@KingoRichie1990]

Same for me. Particularly enjoyed the lezzing off in this. 😆

[@Nefarioso]

When I first saw ads for this movie, I thought it was going to be a bio of Debbie Harry. ATOMIC.

[@martinboyle9163]

You know, I thought the very same thing! (Now I got that song in my head.) "Tonight, tonight!" I can't wait to see a movie about Debbie Harry's life. That chick was ahead of the zeitgeist curve across three decades. At 77 years of age, I hope we don't have to wait until her passing to see her get the accolades she most-certainly deserves. She's a total legend in music and a three-time titan of Nu Wave, Rap and Grunge. She deserves a biopic as much as Elton John or Freddy Mercury. I don't suppose I have to tell you about "Rock N Rule." But in case it flew under your radar, no true Blondie fan is complete without seeing it. I sure would like to see Dasha's reaction to THAT animated classic! Best to you-

[@daddynitro199]

I will never judge someone harshly for saying Charlize Theron is amazing. 👍🏻

[@Tim_Raths]

That stairwell fight scene is epic.

[@SLAPERZZ1]

The only Russian words I know are all the swear words😂😂

Dauphin plays the mummy in Tom cruise remake and in the Kingsman she played a killer with prosthetics for legs with razors in them and a type of sword

[@christopherbaldwin2005]

The Russian with the blonde tip's that she fights in the theater, and doesn't die until she runs him over is in another great action film. He plays the Russian in John Wick that throws John over the balcony, and is the last one killed in the warehouse scene when Viggo has him tied up. I have always loved this film. The right actor's with a great story about the last day's of the Berlin Wall and the spy game.

[@crazyfvck]

@christopherbaldwin2005 He also appeared briefly in one of the Matrix movies, as he was the guy who trained Keanu Reeves for the fight scenes.

[@Shawn-rq4py]

You should watch “Peppermint “ starring Jennifer Garner. She also plays “female John Wick”. It’s really good.

[@YoureMrLebowski]

29:35 💯

[@orarinnsnorrason4614]

Havent watched this movie yet but I'm glad there were some songs from Depeche Mode in there. Very cool band and they're still making music btw, although they lost a member in 2020 Andy Fletcher.

[@EgadsNo]

You should watch ANИA another movie with a fem fatale also set in Russia- written, produced and directed by Luc Besson (of The Professional and 5th Element) I always like to see what you say about the Russian language used in movies.

[@eze8970]

TY 🙏🙏

[@markcarpenter6020]

That protest was the lead up to the fall of the Berlin wall. The beginning of the end of the Soviet union and it was beyond huge.

This movie has such a bad ass soundtrack.

[@marcpilati5597]

You brought up Stalker playing in the movie, if youve never seen it Id recommend it! A reaction to it by you would be very fun I think!

[@philmullineaux5405]

80s techno/electronics/ industrial music, is everything! Start with one album, Nine Inch Nails, pretty hate machine! Music, movies, clubs, TV, fashion, all peaked in the 80s/early 90s!!

[@SKiZ0TT]

Anna from 2019 would be fun reaction, since it's connected to Russia.

100% better than any John Wick movie. Those movies are fun and all, but this movie just has so much more.

Amazing movie. 😍

[@PV1230]

the soundtrack was full of great 80's music tracks. really captured the feel.

[@PV1230]

I'm not sure if Dasha picked up that she was a triple agent.

[@katherinedinwiddie4526]

Love this movie! Glad to see you enjoying it also. Love Charlize! She also played a wicked step mother!!

[@renzero9206]

Atomic Blonde is a fantastic movie, not just a great action movie :) The soundtrack is amazing, the cinematography is phenomenal, and Charlize is fantastic. The "Stairwell Fight" is one of the best fight sequences in cinema imo. All done to make it look like its one take (they use invisible cuts), but the best thing is that the fight is realistic. Like you say Dasha, Charlize does NOT take them out with one punch, she gets tired, she gets hurt, she fights clever (she's not stronger then them, but uses what's around to help her). Overall a fantastic film :) And nice to hear a Russian girl doing the translating for the film so we can understand what they really said :) And cool that the film was actually as authentic as it could be :)

[@cesarvidelac]

You're too young to remember of course... Everything was about Russia and the KGB until the fall of the Soviet union. Now Putin reconstructed the KGB and the Soviet union but at his own image and will, this generation now will know how it felt how it was to live under the threat of nukes, we did for decades. Pay attention to the history details, there are some very realistic details here. Much love

[@philmullineaux5405]

Supposedly making a sequel!

[@martinboyle9163]

Вы великолепны! A tinderbox is an archaic word for a "patch box," a household item where the means to create flame for kindling was kept to start fires in woodstoves. (Flint, steel, charcloth.) Today it is used to describe a situation where everything is flammable and explosive, only waiting for a small spark to make it all ignite. Charlize Theron's greatest acting is in the movie, "Monster." Yet, because it was a movie about female serial killer, Aileen Wournos, it wasn't a commercial or critical success. It's worth a watch! A movie with this type of suspense with less of a happy ending is "No Way Out" with Kevin Costner. Also worth a watch! The only woman I want to hug is you, Dasha! ♡♥︎♡ Best to you!

[@gboy1973]

under rated gem this movie is perfect

[@Adamas97]

Dasha please watch G.I. Jane staring Demi Moore. It is a pretty bad ass female lead character with a great underdog story. I love the movie and I think you will also.

[@DumblyDorr]

I love this movie - it's one of the few movies that definitely set out to be cool above all else and succeed without making me groan or cringe. Of course it's no "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold" (still the best "cold-war spycraft in Berlin" movie IMO) - but it's stylish, it's fun, it looks gorgeous (especially with extended dynamic range), the soundtrack is fitting both historically and with the mood of the scenes, the casting and acting is great - the late-80s Berlin look is done very well, they took the time to get the Russian right, the fight choreography is awesome - the whole production is top notch. Good movie! Also - "Stalker" is an absolute classic by Andrei Tarkovsky... probably the greatest, certainly the most well known Russian director. His adaptation of Lem's Solaris still stands miles above the Steven Soderbergh one. Perhaps you'd like to watch some of his movies with us at some point :)

[@martinboyle9163]

Q: Why does any comment on Russian filmmaking always include "Solaris?" A: Because it's a great freaking movie, that's why! I agree, I'd LOVE to see Dasha react to THAT! Best to you-
