PiroMunkie Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 [color=indigo]Finally, after a long time of being interested in seeing this movie, I got around to renting it and watching it. I was a bit shocked at first cause it was more than I expected when it came to violence (or [i]ultra-violence[/i] rather) and nudity (which I was not expecting at all). I enjoyed the overall plot of the story, though confusing at some points, and the way in which everything was done. It happened to be more of an "artsy" film than I had expected, which, for me, was a plus. It actually made me think about certain things. The tale of morality is usually a good one, and this movie shows just such an example. It is a bit on the older side, I believe released back in the 1970's, and it is quite easy to see why it was so contoversial back then. I have begun to read the book (which the movie was based off of), and in learning that the movie doesn't have the final chapter of the book (which wasn't included in the U.S. version of the book), I can't help but wonder how they would have portrayed that. The most interesting aspect of the movie, I though, was the language used. The characters had their own little vocabulary including words such as: [i]melenky, rot, tolchok, ptitsa,[/i] and [i]skorry[/i]. That also makes the book interesting to read, so you can use the context clues to help you figure out what those words mean ("rot" is a common word, but in their slang it refers to the mouth). When all was said and done, I applaud the movie and reccomend it for those who haven't seen it, and are looking for a movie with a deeper meaning to it. I also plan on getting a custom made replica of that britva (Alex's cane)... I lust for it with a passion.. :love2: Foor those who have seen it, your thoughts are obviously welcome. :)[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devidramon Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 I hated that movie! But I guess I'd have to have seen it from the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Harris Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 What was so bad about the final chapter anyways? I've been wondering that after reading the back of my friend's version which said "featuring the controversial ending." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiroMunkie Posted September 13, 2002 Author Share Posted September 13, 2002 [color=indigo]I'm not sure what is supposed to be so bad abuot the actual ending to it. I haven't got that far in reading the book, lol. To Devidramon: At what part have you seen it from and why don't you like the movie?[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
