I think no one film will not be able to convey the scale of the book. this is Iliad of 19th century. |

Andy Moss wrote: Is the scene of sibling incest true to the book? Not, of course!!! It is ' a scat to the contemporary mode'. At least, I definitely like one thing there: the main heroes are young people really as they were in the book; because the old Russian (Bondarchuk's) screening has this drawback. |

I agree with Repnin---the original Russian production may be vastly superior in nearly all aspects, but I think that the cast is superb in keeping with the spirit--the women are hardly more than girls (well, at the start many ARE teenage girls) and the young men were young. I really am not sure why they thought to put in the incest thing--it does not really had to the characters moral structure etc and it is not a shortcut to explain the morality or choices of people in the book.. I have probably watched about 1.5 hours so far and I am so far able to enjoy it for what is it---an energetic adaptation that lacks the artistry of the old Russian version... |
