Thank you. At long last….an Intelligent observation. Younger audiences should learn that this is a truly classic film. How really excellent films were made. It was an art form.

[@vinista256]

2:16 - “… our cursed capacity for suffering.” It’s something of a cliché about the Slavic temperment, and yet, based on limited experience, I have to say there’s some truth to it, and it starts very young. I used to work in health care, and I remember drawing blood on 2 pediatric cases, one a 5-year-old Ukrainian and the other a 3-year-old Russian. They didn’t scream or wiggle, but they weren’t stoic either. Even at that tender age, there was something majestic about the way they felt their pain, neither suppressing nor exaggerating their reaction, but suffering through it almost like a form of art, beautifully. Where in the world does that come from? I don’t believe such traits are genetic, but whatever cultural process perpetuates them must start very young.

[@cmalberts]

The book was and is well-received. The film, more tepidly so, but not for the reasons you might think. The script is much more Robert Bolt than Boris Pasternak, and Russians see it as an Englishman writing about the way English people would act and speak, just wearing costumes. It's not that they HATE the film, it's just that, as one Russian critic said, "it's a lovely story...it just isn't a RUSSIAN story." One weird example of an English-language period film set in that era that resonates with them and that they DO gobble up is 1971's NICHOLAS AND ALEXANDRA.

RideMyTruck Sure, because the US had a "couple" of those back then... Not only that, but I bet you could throw as many nukes as you want and the russians wouldn't give up. They would just keep fighting... I guess that's the one thing history has taught us for sure about them: They don't give up that easily. And seeing how the USSR had the largest army back then, and how most of the western forces were very tired out, I don't see how your little shit plan could work, specially seeing how the soviets already were inside Project Manhattan and were starting to develop their own nukes. And, oh yeah, your 'idea" would've been absolutly pointless. Doing that would be beyond stupid and would serve no purpose at all. All the blood shed in WWII was more than enough for everyone. You should be glad that the leaders of the US were smart enough not to do such horrible thing. One massive murder of innocent civillians in their hands was enough, I guess...
