Ballada o bombere (2011) Reviews
some may dislike Russian subtitles and the fact its 3 hours long.. I didn't!
I'm also extremely surprised to see such a low rating on this film; I thought it was fantastic. I may not have watched it if I had seen its IMDb rating before hand, especially since I'm not usually a fan of long-winded films. Whilst maybe It was merely a 9/10 in my eyes, I've given it a deserving 10/10 to boost its ranking. Set during world war 2, this action packed, 3 hour long, Russian war-time love story was originally meant to be a high budget Russian TV series. For those of you like me who struggle watching long films, I suggest splitting the film in two or three parts of thoroughly enjoyable viewing. p.s If you're unsure, I suggest you ignore rating!
love and war
It's such a big surprise to me to see the number of people vote, and their marks about this film. Then, i realize that maybe it's a Russian film - which is not so popular in the Western. And it's about the WW2 and the Soviet, so people expect to see cruel stuffs of the Soviet gor, not something else. I can smell it 'cause im from a socialist country. To be frank, this film is not a propaganda one. An it should be received more attention from the West. It's based on a novel, so there's nothing to complain about the story line. The film contains many beautiful image, and the music is perfect. The only thing that i don't like is that the scenes change so quickly. If you don't mind watching a 3-hour long film, you should spend your time on this one. I can guarantee that you wont regret it.
Surprised and amazed
I've never wrote a review before, but this film made me wanna make one. I didn't even knew this film was Russian, but after watching this film, I clapped my hands and I felt they've done a great job with it. The characters is developed well, making you wanna root for them, and the storyline is good but I wished they would put more effort in the showing the 'emotions/feelings' of the characters. (The part where it supposed to make me sad/mad. .but it's not enough) There's also some magic moments where you wouldn't have thought would happen..And that's what made this film interesting to watch till the end. Just like a Korean war movie with a Russian twist. Awesome.
Very Interesting and Exciting Too
I just have three things to say: It's available on Hulu for free in the USA! It was a pleasure (to have more Russian language material) to watch and listen and try not to look at the subtitles too often. (Of course I failed - I needed to look at the subtitles most of the time. The story is very interesting and exciting too. If you are only vaguely aware of Hitler's betrayal of the USSR and not aware of the ensuing conflict within the auspices of WWII that it caused, it will be even more interesting as you see some of the aspects of the conflict, as well as life in the Soviet Army. I loved for the reasons above. Oh by the way... I repeat: It's on Hulu in the USA for free! Cheers, Jerry
Among the best
SPOILER ALERT: You've been warned. Like others who've posted before me, I loved this series. I watched this as a TV series on Hulu. I was hooked from the first episode forward. The acting and writing are first rate. The subtitles follow the action - sometimes you find the subtitles are either wrong or not timed properly. This was not the case with the Hulu TV version. I do have to say when the dialog was in German, there was a Russian language translator speaking over the German language (you can hear both German and Russian) with English subtitles on the bottom. Nevertheless, it was not too distracting and did not take anything away from the film. This is a story about a WW2 (aka The Great Patriotic War in Russia) pilot who becomes engaged and separated from his fiancé only to find he is ordered to drop a "package" to the Russian underground in the occupied parts of the Soviet Union. There is plenty of suspense and drama mixed in with a love story that moves at a nice pace. I was never bored or thinking this series is dragging. Like others, I was completely surprised at the low rating when I looked it up on IMDb. It is far better than the surprising lower ratings. If there is something negative I'd say the special effects are not quite (but close) to some of the better special effects in either an English or American film. But it does not take anything away from the story. Two Thumbs and Ten Toes Up!
