Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Greg A poorly filmed farce based on Bulgakov's novel and play. The author of the original play owed his very life to hetman Skoropadsky for which he did not hesitate to "thank" when requested by Stalinist regime with a collection of lies. Unfortunately, Bulgakov is a very talented writer, which caused some of the statements, said through the characters, of the story to be popularized undeserving. The movie is, however, made starring some of the best soviet actors. Scenes on the other hand are made inaccurate, with wrong uniforms and settings used. This was done most probably to keep the public in the dark about the true events going on in the civil war of Russian empire and Ukraine.
iliawarlock This is a masterfully done re-telling of Bulgakov's brilliant play (itself a version of the novel, "White Guard"), "Days of the Turbins". Magnificent acting from all, particularly Valentina Titova as the beautiful Elena Talberg, and Basov as Myshlaevsky. This is a play which has touched lives, and it is one of the few works which stays in the mind for decades. We remember and love Myshlaevsky, we smile at the boasting of Shervinsky, we stare with dread and revulsion at the actions of Hetman Skoropadsky, we weep for Alexej Turbin, and Lariosik, well . . . he's just become a household word. After seeing this film (which follows the play almost to the word), or reading the play itself, we see these people come into our hearts as friends and kin--and then they do not leave. Bulgakov was a master, and this can be see in this, arguably among the five most famous of his many works.
