Yeah, I read the book when I was 14. Prince Andrew and Rostov were my favorite characters.

Thank you to the British for a fresh look at Russia. I really hate when you show about Russia something like "vodka", "balalaika", and the like nonsense. I'm really pleased to see a good picture about Russia by Western filmmakers. I hope you enjoy this film too, and our people will be a little better for each other. Sorry for the grammatical errors, if you can find.

[@alexander_vlasov97]

Ka Gala, thank you guy/girl for healthy view on that problem. Our media says that you are stupid, but I see that you are smart guy/girl. Excuse me, I can't understand who you are by your nickname)) I think, that any people has its own internal problems. Vodka is internal problem for my people, but I think that the good living person will not drink vodka.I hope they would not arrest me for such thoughts)) In terms about me, I do not like vodka and did not really like alcohol. It's my own feature. Alchohol is like a chemical shit for me. My nation is not bad or good, we are the same as you and any other nation, with its own problems. I welcome the opportunity to practise English with English speaker. But I was assisted by google translate)) Excuse me my errors again please) From Russia with peace))

Александр Власов I visited Russia for the first time in 2016 around the time this series came out here in Britain, and I have since been back to visit again. You have a wonderful and fascinating country and I have made friends for life there. What happens on a political level between nations must be disregarded as best we can so that we can discover instead the values we share. And I have found that there are many in my experience.

[@kajamiletic3223]

Oi, I like balalaikas! They're cool! But I am, of course, aware that this is not all that Russia is and that it has a rich and varied history :)

[@QuirkyAfricanHistory]

I absolutely loved this adaptation. Stayed true to Tolstoy and superb acting. Tolstoy is a giant among men. War and Peace is the greatest piece of Literature in, not just Russia, but the whole world.

[@beesmart4048]

Stayed true except Tolstoy wanted for Natasha to be a brunette deliberately.

[@weidong5]

Russian literature was a classical art peak that we Chinese really do respect for.

[@JOHN----DOE]

+Wei Dong Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Shakespeare, Greek tragedy . . . nothing in any other literature can touch them.

[@weidong5]

John Doe And also in our text book in middle school and high school, there is a great part of Russian literature.

[@BooRadleyTube]

+hippotoast All the books both of you have mentioned are part of the literary canon. Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky are no more "elitist" than Joyce and Proust.

[@BooRadleyTube]

+hippotoast I know. I just mean that all the authors John Doe mentioned, and all the authors you mentioned, land on a list of writers who are generally considered "great." John Doe's comment was probably poorly worded, but we're all basically affirming that there is an "elite." It's just that in writing, it's based on the enduring merit of your works, not the social status of the writer.

[@Stasja345]

+BooRadleyTube They are just the most (and easiest) translated authors. Pushkin (he's like Shakespeare for UK) is the greatest but nobody heard about him overseas due to the difficulty of translation the poems.

is it a good adaptation of the book?

[@MichaelHolmgaard]

When I watched the series 7 years ago, the ending had me en tears. I was in awe and when that beautiful music kicks in with the choir... my reaction was exactly the same, re-watching it 7 years later. Amazing tv series from beginning to end. best cinematography, acting and score I have seen in any tv show. Only rivaled perhaps by Marco Polo, but I think War & Peace was the full package. It wrecked me on an emotional level but it shouldn't be any other way. That is the story of Tolstoy and BBC stayed faithful to it. Thank you!

[@fatitankeris6327]

Then you should watch War and Peace 1966 (7hour movie in 4 or so parts) (there's a subbed version), which will let you relive the same amazing story, with incredible battle scenes too (15 000 extras)

[@bekahstott4369]

I have just spent that past three evenings binging this series and now that it is over I am at a loss! This series was a masterpiece in every way! At times the cinematography was so stunning had to go back and re-watch a scene. Add that to the combination of flawless acting and a devastating score that on several occasions I found myself either weeping with joy or sorrow!

чувствуешь такую сильную гордость за то, что по таким великим произведениям литературы снимают фильмы не только русские, но и жители других стран.

[@doraporohova8423]

+Николай Слепцов очень неприятно видеть и смотреть то, что могут показывать у нас в России. Максимум можно посмотреть военные фильмы и классику 20-го века.

+Николай Слепцов может и посмотрю, благодарю за совет.хотя я могу и не понять. мне всего 15.

[@Quintus_Sertorius]

+Dora Porohova Вы ещё большую "гордость" почувствуете, от того, что создатели фильма покажут тут эротические сцены инцеста с участием Элен Курагиной и ее брата Анатоля. Как говорят сценаристы, якобы сам Толстой мечтал об инцесте. Причём долбаные сценаристы даже не в курсе, что Наташа Ростова должна иметь чёрные глаза и чёрные кудри - как у самого Льва Толстого!!!

[@Quintus_Sertorius]

***** то есть других мной описанных деталей вы сделали вид что не заметили?

[@Quintus_Sertorius]

***** даптировавший для телевидения текст Толстого сценарист Эндрю Дэвис (известный, в частности, по сценариям британских телевизионных экранизаций Джейн Остин и "Дневника Бриджет Джонс") заявил в интервью газете Daily Telegraph, что в сериале будут постельные сцены с участием Элен Курагиной и ее брата Анатоля. По мнению сценариста, Толстой в романе намекает на инцестуальную связь между Элен и Анатолем. Но написать все прямым текстом ему, дескать, помешали царившие во второй половине XIX века моральные нормы. - В те времена писатель не мог бы включить в роман подобную сцену, даже если бы очень захотел, - утверждает Дэвис. - В сериале будет сцена, когда герои покажут свои настоящие чувства друг другу - так, что у зрителей не останется сомнений в их влечении друг к другу. В среде английских исследователей творчества Толстого столь вольная трактовка некоторых смыслов "Войны и мира" не встретила понимания - напротив, они раскритиковали авторов сериала за поиск несуществующей черной кошки в темной комнате - в этом смысле высказались слависты Эндрю Кауфман и Доминик Ливин.

[@juanbautistashabadoo5538]

I'm from mexico, and currently reading war and peace. Something that has amazed me from the book, is that the russian nobility has a lot of similarities with the modern mexican high class. A lot of the situations the nobles get in are pretty much the same problems high class mexicans get into. A lot, but not all. Maybe war and peace is a universal book. greeting from mexico.

I've watched many productions & films of War & peace including direct Russian adaptations but this BBC series is the best by far.

Well... My dear BBC, you scored, I do not know how you managed, but you DO realized the mood I have reading the book... It is not, Hollywood, tries to play russian literature, the way Hollywood understands it, and with cliché instruments it has. You really did a masterpiece, genius, though a bit incorrect in details, but it's kind of interpretation, which does not play a big role... With all my love and respect... very pleased and thankful, if somebody after this movie takes a look on russian literature and culture...
