attack on leningrad is a really bad film . where is spider - man ?
there are no critic reviews yet for leningrad ( attack on leningrad ) . keep checking rotten tomatoes for updates !
the world war 2 battle of stalingrad from the initial attack to the repatriation of the survivors after the war .
i was staggered at just how appalling the acting is in this movie . as the blogger suggests , no wonder it went straight to dvd . having read the superb antony beevor book detailing the attack on another russian city , stalingrad , i was hoping for a fine cinematic recreation of events in respect of the attack on leningrad albeit intertwined with the heroic deeds of british journalist , kate davis . sadly , it really is atrocious .
the deputy secretary says with three months of siege around leningrad two million russians will die . and that will be the end of leningrad .
thanks for the comments though , they ' re much more eloquent than in some of the previous posts and i don ' t wish to disregard your view of the film . unfortunately , attack on leningrad was not for me . if it moved you to such a degree though , who am i to argue against that .
amazing … i watched this film streamed on netflix last night . this series of comments has gone on for 3 years . amazing .
the siege of leningrad lasted 882 days . over 1 , 500 , 000 people died . on january 27th 1944 , leningrad was liberated by the soviet army . nina tsvetkova was killed during a nazi air raid in 1943 in leningrad . kate davis continued to share her food rations with yuri krasko to keep him alive . she became so weak that she died in 1943 .
some soviet official in leningrad now goes to that false address , but realizes that the address is wrong .
…the same in interview regarding stalin intention on leningrad populations . what nonsense ! even during nazi blocade , leningrad was a serious producers of arms , some of their have been supplied for red army in stalingrad ( ! ) . besides , it was the important strategic and political centre of soviet union etc .

gorkin thinks the germans are retreating and starts to chase them , but all of a sudden huge german tanks go to the attack . the civilians start running as some of them get run over by the tanks . the lieutenant grabs a grenade and runs in front of a tank and throws the grenade right at the most vulnerable spot on a german tank , just below the turret .
tsetkova tells kate that from now on , she doesn ' t know her . after all , on paper kate is already dead . if kate survives , good . she adds :
do your best .
kate talks to tsvetkova about her going back and bringing yura out . tsvetkova , however , tells kate that she has to go back to leningrad , but that they won ' t let her come out again . kate says goodbye to sonia ' s little girl and then gets on the truck with tsvetkova going back to leningrad . she yells goodbye to a bewildered phil .
i have never witnessed a review on here have so many trolls . it almost seems as if they all worked or had friends and family who worked on the production of this and we personally insulted them with this review .

an air raid siren sounds in leningrad and tsvetkova and the others have to make sure people get down into the air raid shelters .
the siege of leningrad is one of the unspeakable atrocities that the germans committed during wwii . hitler had the idea to starve the people of leningrad within a few weeks , maximum two months in order to gain superiority on the eastern front . the siege lasted 872 days . leningrad was a big city of almost 5 million people at the time . at least 1 . 5 million died during the siege . i was interested in this topic since i had read helen dunmore’s excellent novel the siege . it’s a daring book from a master storyteller . i had hoped for an equally good movie ( the movie is not based on dunmore’s book ) .
for my part i stayed on my appetite as a movie but was glad to know the story of kate davis .
yura develops a bad stomach ache . he starts throwing up the food . kate goes in to check on yura .
the wwii pivotal battle of stalingrad is shown through the eyes of the soldiers and officers on both sides of the war .
a guide shows the foreign reporters a tiny bit of the battlefield with a ruined tank and dead soldiers on the ground .

leningrad communist party hq ( smolny ) . food is running out in leningrad . the journalists are there , including kate davis . the journalists are to be divided into two groups to lessen the danger of all the foreign correspondents being wiped out at once . phil and kate wind up in two different groups .
a whirlwind tour of europe through the tales of celebrated filmmakers . all movies are available to stream right now at sbs on demand .
the men follow gorkin in the attack . it seems fool - hardy because the nazi soldiers are already attacking them . the two groups meet together and the fighting is intense . one civilian tries to creep back to the trenches but tsvetkova yells at him to go back . she shoots at him twice to warn him that she will kill him if he doesn ' t turn around . he turns around , while tsvetkova gets out of the trenches yelling :
no more retreating ! enough ! for the motherland ! for stalin ! for leningrad !
its been getting a lot of hits , i think someone must have posted it on an aleksandr buravsky ' s fan forum or something .
phil arrives back on a different bus and he immediately asks what happened to the kate ' s bus ? the fellow running the operation with the foreign correspondents says that her bus was hit by german airplanes . he says he ' s sorry and goes on about his business .
tsvetkova returns to the apartment to find her mother dead . she cries over her mother . people are dying in leningrad and the bodies are lying in the streets .
stalin and his military staff decide to send out from leningrad three groups of soldiers , twelve in each group to immediately

also , ryan cone , who goes on rambling nonsense about the us , must not realize that the reviewer of this is from the uk .
i do get surprised that people so passionately disagree with me on this film as i really disliked it , but each to their own i guess .
i think it depends on which eye you look at the movie . as a history lover ( found of wwii ) i can notice many historical
clips
of the siege , like the sugar bomb , eating glue , cannibalism , the ladoga survival trail and more but for someone wishing to learn about leningrad , it ' s too fast and we can ' t learn enough ; the story is focus on kate davis , and even there , it still uses
clips
on the true stuggling of starvation like if they were afraid to show more , so this gives an impression of a tv series and an uncompleted work .
a war drama set during the nazi invasion of the soviet union in june 1941 , in which soviet troops held on to a border stronghold for nine days .
i agree with you the british journalist line is unconvincing and it twists a russian story itself . on my opinion , this production was created to intend on western media market too , so the filmmakers took a couple of western stars and write the western person plot… i think that buravsky , unfortunately , gave in to western producers…
when in 1941 nazi germany invaded the soviet union , their troops quickly besieged leningrad . foreign journalists are evacuated but one of them , kate davies , is presumed dead and misses the plane . alone in the city she is helped by nina tsvetnova a young and idealist police officer and together they will fight for their own survival and the survival of the people in the besieged leningrad .
not exactly an honest reproduction of the siege of leningrad , but an honestly , active film of how it might have been . press / media people tend to annoy me anyway , so if one blonde gets trapped in leningrad , then i could not really care less , but the often simulated , harrowing scenes are good to watch . i am glad i have seen it though .
gen . von leep estimates that leningrad will be finished in about three weeks . and the situation in leningrad is very terrible . kate took anastasia ' s ring to exchange for some food for yura . anastasia complains to tsvetkova about the theft . when kate returns , tsvetkova forces her to put her hands on the wall . the can of meat she traded for falls to the floor . tsvetkova questions kate saying that she is a spy . of course , kate easily argues that accusation away . meanwhile , yura consumes the meat from the can .
up on a lookout tower , tsvetkova yells down that the germans are digging in . she is ecstatic yelling :
we ' ve stopped them ! ! !
star gabriel byrne and faithful old armin mueller - stahl – nice line up . interesting subject matter too , i don’t know much about the siege at leningrad myself , should be thought - provoking .
gen . von leep comes out to the airport . he is with his nephew walter , who is a first rate pilot . uncle tells walter to be thinking of getting that second cross medal . walter asks if hitler has decided not to wipe leningrad off the face of the earth ? uncle replies that the change of plan has to do with the meaningless resistance of the russians in leningrad .
winter , 1941 . world war ii rages on as nazi troops invade the soviet union and besiege the devastated city of leningrad . foreign journalists are quickly evacuated , but in the chaos that ensues , kate davies ( mira sorvino ) is left behind . isolated and alone , kate joins up with a small band of resistance fighters , and together they battle to survive .
a romance between a british pilot hiding in germany and a german nurse is shown on the background of massive allied bombing of dresden towards the end of world war 2 .
good movie and a sad one . the germans have virtually surrounded leningrad and are slowly starving the city residents to death . there are scenes of great suffering among the residents of the city , including a case of cannibalism . i always wondered what exactly happened at leningrad and now i know . we always hear about the great victory of the soviets at stalingrad , but not much of anything about the other cities like leningrad and moscow . the film is also a love story between two foreign war correspondents in leningrad . and it ' s a story about the love of a family for each of its members and even about friendship that becomes love for the suffering children of the family . some of the everyday people of leningrad become real heroes when they stand up for right against wrong , while many others around them are engaging in theft and other criminal acts . the film kept my interest throughout and i liked every bit of it . mira sorvino ( kate davis ) was good and olga sutulova ( nina tsvetkova ) was excellent in their roles .

because , compared with movies with very stupid subject matters which raise tens of millions of dollars in the us , it is regretful that such a movie received little to none consideration . but then again . . it is the us where people know very little about world history , and where the main focus is on grand productions and millions spent on effects and other things .
i found this movie on netflix and had no preconceived notions other than the expectation that it was an actual movie . this is not a movie . it is a hodgepodge of scenes of which 60 % were intended to be in the final cut , 40 % were intended to be left on the editing room floor , and all of which were arranged in no particular order .

gabriel byrne and mira sorvino star in another love story about two western journalists that are trapped in the siege of leningrad in 1941 . imdb’s plot description , written by the director , make it seem really over the top romantic . i have trouble believing all these people were worried about romance when they were starving to death . if the plot summary turns out to be historically accurate , these westerners must have seemed very self—involved and silly to the leningrad citizens .
* keeping the thread alive * i woke up in the middle of the night and this movie was playing on netflix . i missed some of the film and the sound was muted but i have to say i liked the film . i thought it touched on the lives of people during a tragic time of war ( the images of the people dragging the wrapped up bodies – chilling ) and yes , i took it as a love story with katie choosing to return to leningrad with nina . the relationship confirmed by the scenes of them celebrating the end of the conflict and parker visiting their side - by - side graves at the end .
leningrad , two weeks later . the city continues to be shelled and bombed . an official tells his men that foreign reporters are coming and there are to be no bread lines that they can see . among the men is sgt . tsvetkova .
great film loved it . tells of the struggle of the russian people in leningrad . it ' s so good that once it watched it and put it in with the rest of my dvd ' s i realised it was my second copy .
walter flies over leningrad . it ' s his turn to dive down and strafe the streets . walter flies straight for the russian anti - aircraft gun . the gun fires and hits walter ' s plane - - suicide by anti - aircraft gun .
tsvetkova returns alive . only eight of the skiers returned to leningrad . now the soviets are trying to evacuate the skiers to safety . then the trucks will return with food supplies . the trucks are ready to pull out , but tsvetkova says she must get her family . kate grabs the last of their food and tells the kids they are going to get on one of those trucks . the problem is that everyone is so weak that they can ' t get outside .
as far as i am aware it’s ‘inspired by true events’ . obviously the siege of leningrad actually took place and i believe there was a british journalist that survived it and wrote about it , but i imagine a few liberties have been made for the film .
brought out in a bus , kate takes photographs of the dead german faces . when asked , she says she is not freaked out because she worked on the crime beat for two years and saw lots of dead bodies .
kate ' s colleague informs the russians that kate is still alive and in leningrad . he now wants to fly back to leningrad to get her , but the official tells him to go catch a flight out - - he will take care of kate . kate stands outside her apartment building . someone grabs her food coupons . she tries to chase after the thief , but falls over a raised piece of earth . she sees a man cutting off the leg of a dead person to engage in cannibalism in order to survive .
an official explains the desperate food situation for the residents and soldiers of leningrad . the last food will run out in nine days . stalin is shocked by the low number of days , but resigns himself to it saying :
nine days it is then .
the actual proper original title of this movie is simply leningrad . why could they not have just left it alone ? it depicts the hardship of leningrad at the time quite accurately . my main disappointment with this movie was that mira sorvino ' a voice was dubbed by a british voiceover actress - and this was done in an obvious way , thus ruining the actress ' s performance . it would have been better had they just gotten an english actress in the first place . apart from that it was a credible portrayal of the time .
it’s a shame that financial reasons sometimes impact movies negatively . i was just reading where george clooney was forcced into “the thin red line” because the studio insisted on a big name star . thus we get the ridiculous closing scene .
why invent a story like that when there was such a lot of material at hand ? accounts of eye witnesses , for example . in the interview buravsky mentions the famous russian composer shostakovich who was in leningrad during the siege where he composed his 7th symphony . wouldn’t that have been a great story ? or what he said about stalin… apparently he could have freed leningrad much earlier but decided against it . he deliberately let them starve as leningrad , the former st . petersburg , the home of the tsars was the center of the intelligentsia and the arts . in doing so he could get rid of people who were undesirable in his regime… a dictator like stalin was certainly not fond of intellectuals and artists or other people who were used to thinking for themselves . that would have been a great story as well .
i could go on , but i don’t think it’s worth it . this is the sort of film that is best forgotten . it had a lot going for it . ok , so mira sorvino and gabriel byrne don’t have spotless cv’s , but they’ve got talent and the production team clearly know how to dress and shoot a film . unfortunately , any potential the film had is flushed down the toilet on a wave of half - arsed filmmaking and embarrassingly bad performances .
let’s just have a peak at some other reviews though before i start… huh , none at all . surely it’s hit the festivals if it didn’t get a proper cinema release… hmmm , not really . straight to dvd then , ok , let’s give it a chance . hang on , made in 2007 , yet no one’s seen or released it yet . alarm bells ringing , but i’m not a snob , let’s do these struggling filmmakers a favour , let’s put it on .
now the civilian replacements ( businessmen , workers , old men - - it ' s quite the collection of different men ) are brought over . lt . gorkin is shocked at the low caliber of
soldiers
he has been sent . he yells at sgt . tsvetkova saying that he did not ask for professors and students ! the sergeant shoots back that he is to take his men and attack . the lieutenant responds :
shut your mouth , you snot - nose brat !
she in turn grabs her pistol and places the barrel up to his neck saying :
i have my orders too , lieutenant .
gorkin pushes the pistol away and goes to work .
i didn ' t hear about this being released in the united states , so i don ' t know if it’s failed to find a distributor , or is a foreign—language film . sorvino studied languages in college and can speak chinese , but i don ' t know about russian . i also don ' t know that byrne speaks russian either . perhaps they were dubbed into the russian dvd version released in february 2007 and american viewers will just have to wait . in the mean time , here’s a really good book on the leningrad siege :
the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
tsvetkova gives kate a typewriter so she can write her reports . the two women drink some vodka , listen to music and dance . tsvetkova asks kate for advice about men . after that , she tells kate that none of them are going to get out of leningrad alive . the blockade will never end .
but if you look with the eye of the human drama and forget the cinematography , history , quick details , and embrasse davis ' combat to keep those she cared about and her sacrifice knowing it is based on a true story , then you can be touched .
an opera singer , anastasia andreevna , owns the house where kate is staying . her servant tells her that the store refused their coupons today and the only thing she could get on the black market was an onion . the cost of the onion was two fancy earrings .
september , 1941 , russia , three months into the war . leningrad suburbs . a couple of army trucks are trying to use the muddy road on a rainy day , while a man and woman up front yell at the fleeing refugees to move out of the way and let the army vehicles pass . the trucks stop and men with rifles jump out of the back of the vehicles . the men are brought to the trenches where fierce fighting is going on . the trenches are not deep enough to provide good protection from the bullets of the enemy . the lady yelling for people to get out of the way speaks with lt . gorkin . she tells him she is sgt . tsvetkova and she brings him the new orders . the lieutenant asks if they have run out of men and are now sending women to fight ? the sergeant explains that the messenger was killed .
i would say though that i thought olga sutulova ( nina ) was great ! she is actually the character that connects the viewer to the feeling of the people in leningrad during that difficult time . olga was just excellent which surprised me that she was in a film called the arena , some low budget rated r flick .
i’ve never witnessed a post get so many random comments . i’ve wondered if many of these folks leaving comments are people who are related to this film in some way ( worked on it , knew somebody who did , etc . ) . it brings some very , very strange responses .
in 1941 the german invasion of russia leads to the siege of leningrad , a two year long military campaign designed to literally starve the city . in the midst of the suffering an english newspaper reporter finds herself trapped , unbeknownst to her american reporter boyfriend , between the german guns and the soviet security system that cannot admit it erred in reporting her dead .
kate sits on a bench outside and has a delusion that phil is there telling her to get on the airplane . a little later she has more delusions . she sees sonia still alive and calling to her . as she slowly walks down a street a man who has a car sees her and recognizes her . it is the journalist korneyev that was picking up souvenirs when a bomb went off . somehow , he , like kate , survived . he tells her to get in the car . there is a plane she can get on with him . kate gets in and they drive by her apartment building . she tells the driver to stop . kate gets out of the car . her colleague begs her to get back in the car , but she goes to get the children . she is so weak that she can ' t climb the stairs . her colleague has to drive away in order to make the plane .
the german planes arrive over leningrad and start doing their damage . at the same time planes drop bombs in the area of the bus . the russians try to get all the correspondents back on the bus , but kate is delayed as she yells at a reporter named korneyev who is busy grabbing german war souvenirs , to stop it and get to the bus . it ' s too late , kate is caught out in the open and as the bombs start landing she has to run away from the bus . she yells to her colleague to get away from the wreckage , but it ' s too late . a bomb lands near him and blows him away from the wreckage .
glad i didn ' t come here first or we ' d have missed a really good film . ok the production was more ' made for tv ' than spielberg – but so what – it was a genuinely engaging and rewarding watch – based on an individual ' s true story that was certainly worth telling .
lol . for real – what is so hard to understand here for these people ? never have i witnessed such bizarre backlash to one of r3 ' s reviews – almost as if it is the director of the film himself coming on every once in a while under a different name to defend his own movie .
annual siege of leningrad commemoration day , 1965 . a white - haired phil and sima walk along the sidewalk . yura rushes up to them and greets sima and then introduces himself to phil . phil is a little shocked because he did not think yura had survived . they go to a memorial wall where they see the name of tsvetkova nina konstantinovna , 1915 - 1943 .
still , for people who have never heard or are not very familiar with the siege of leningrad this movie is a good opportunity to learn something about it . and it is watchable . the russian cast is very good , the pictures are very nice but all in all it’s a lost opportunity for something that could have been better than average . 3 . 5 / 5
you can ' t review a film on the strength of it ' s source material though . yes it was an horrific event , but it ' s not like this film uncovered the facts , they ' re quite well known these days and i imagine there are several other films and documentaries that better handle them .
i was born in leningrad and have several grandparents who experienced this seige . i was dissappointed that the excellent actors who were in this movie , including several russian actors , were not given a chance to fully shine in their roles . this movie could have been great for the depiction of this event but failed as the director does not appear to want to make this a great work .
if it is based on a “true story , ” it’s a story worth telling , but this film chops it up in too many short clips . the plot ends up seeming highly improbable . nina’s motivation for saving kate is never made clear . the film is definitely lacking in continuity . i agree that olga sutulova gave a stand - out performance , while mira sorvino seemed out of her depth . trying to tell the personal story within the context of the war seemed to be too much for the director to handle . even so , this film adds to an understanding of what the people of leningrad endured . the image that will stay with me is of people slowly pulling sleds holding the wrapped bodies of their dead .
thanks for your comment , alexander . it’s disappointing he gave in to western tastes or marketing strategies . anything related to leningrad is so interesting in itself that i don’t know why it had to be twisted like this . i’m not even sure it was a success in western cinemas at all . thanks for mentioning blokada . i’ve heard of it but forgot about it . i’m going to look for it .
i ' m perfectly open to criticism , my negative replies are only aimed at idiotic comments like robin west ' s where no attempt is made to qualify their statements . if you like the film , good on you , but i ' ll only show interest if you give me a decent reason . mike for instance made some interesting comments .
robin , write something more substantial please . why is the reviewer a moron ? the review tackles several aspects of the film and dissects them properly . how about an opinion rather than a cowardly cheap shot . oh right , you probably have no idea how to put together a grammatically correct paragraph on anything . there are services for people like you .

on the surface it looks promising , the production design is impressive enough and it’s quite well shot . the opening scene is even pretty good if a little overwrought , where we witness the final stand between the germans and the remaining russian forces surrounding the city . unfortunately , the glossy visuals and the hollywood cast rub shoulders with dialogue , special effects and ott music straight out of a cheap tv movie . in fact , some comments on imdb suggest that this could be a trimmed down version of a russian tv miniseries . a few plot strands feel too brief too , which back up this theory . tv roots are no excuse for poor quality though , as some of the outstanding work coming from the hbo stables will prove .
thanks for the more detailed comments mike , rather than the fan - boy insults that have come in the past . however , i want to try and clear this up once and for all . watch the scene below starting at 0 . 40 with the young boy and mira sorvino . here is proof of some of the shoddy performances i ' m talking about . yes the film looks pretty , the subject matter is powerful and granted , most of the native cast do a fairly decent job , but anyone speaking english is embarrassing and that kid grates on me so much it ' s untrue . those of you who i think i ' m being harsh on a child performance should bear in mind that he ' s in a hell of a lot of the film .
i agree with what david said it being half baked although film was not the best , it wasn’t the worst either there are alot of good this about it , it had potential for me it really got the look and the feel of leningrad during that time . the biggest problem i had with it only problem i have with it was mira sovino’s acting ! its just horrible accompanied by her ridiculous , obvious english accent ! you just cant feel her characters desperation

the people are slowly starving because there is so little to eat . the little chess playing boy , yura , just laid on the couch the whole day and didn ' t redeem his food coupons . his mother gives his sister three slices of bread , but yura only one . maybe she thinks yura is going to die soon . kate goes to his room and gives him a piece of chocolate .
david – i can understand and agree with much of what i think you’re saying – hammy acting by the kid – sort of trite scenes like when the policewoman puts on lipstick and asks the guy to kiss her hoping to experience the rather remarkable description from the blonde about making love with the one you love ( which by the way i thought was a very risky , potentially cloying scene but that nonetheless i thought rather poetic ) .
now tsvetkova ' s boss finds out about the white general being the father of kate davis . he trips tsvetkova walking in the snow and she plops down on a heap of snow . he tells her what he found out and says that there is somebody hiding the woman , probably out of ignorance . but now that everyone knows , anyone harboring this kate davis will be a crime against the people . he walks away from tsvetkova .
in my opinion the film is worth watching , though it is true that you can find now and then the usual flaws of international productions . it seems to me that they have changed the script to fit the international cast in it . nonetheless , the dramatism and the hardships od life in leningrad are accurately portrayed . i don’t find the story of the children cheesy at all if you think that 1’5 million people died there ( though it was a bit of a cliche that the kid was a chess master… )
the plot tries to present the story of kate , a british journalist who is inadvertently trapped in leningrad during the infamous seige of world war ii . ideally , the film would be about the atrocities of war , the will of the human spirit , and the connections forged between people who face life - threatening adversity . but this is not at all what happens . weaving and interrupting kate’s tale of struggle is a bunch of two minute side stories that leave the overall pace of the movie alternating between extremely pedantic and choppy .
the boss asks tsvetkova to put her gun and gun belt on the table . he then asks her where is the correspondent ? tsvetkova refuses to answer because she is afraid that the boss will just kill kate . she finally says that the englishwoman is still in the side car of the motorcycle . when they see the motorcycle , kate is not there . tsvetkova says that she must have run away . the boss warns tsvetkova that she is playing with fire . tsvetkova goes home and talks with kate .
the thread that never dies , right david ? i read these comments before watching the movie and my expectations were pretty low . i think the problem with this film is that its rich visually with a director of photography who has talent , but everything underneath it reminds me of a cheap made for tv movie . the profound subject matter adds some credibility to ones overall viewing experience but it in the end the visuals and the historical importance can’t rescue it . it didn’t work on so many levels except for the cinematography .
agree 100 % with the reviewer . the film lacked continuity , scenes were disjointed , there was a weird contrast between the violent drama of the action scenes and the woodenness of the people scenes . i have read a lot about the war on the eastern front and spoken to many who fought there , and felt it deserved better treatment than this . more information could have been built into the film to give the viewer more history , for example , maps and troop strengths , but so many opportunities were missed . a woeful effort .
kate is still alive . she must have fallen into a bomb crater . she sees a truck coming , rushes out to the road and collapses . the truck just stops in front of the body in the road . meanwhile , phil hears the announcement that all foreign correspondents must get on the plane now because they have to get to moscow before dawn . . the truck that picked up kate is filled with russian peasants . they are shocked when kate speaks in english . one woman tells the others that this girl is not russian .
a bomb drops near tsvetkova and a loud group of protestors protesting that the bread rations have been cut once again . the people think that it is not a bomb , but something sent to them by the germans . they want to go over and look at it . tsvetkova tries to hold them back , but they just get closer and closer . tsvetkova says it ' s a bomb on a time delay . the people want to find out for themselves . all of a sudden the bomb goes off killing quite a few people .
moscow , hotel savoy . a band and a singer perform for a large group of dancers at the hotel savoy . among the dancers are phillip parker , a foreign correspondent , and kate davis , also a foreign correspondent by for right now having to be the telegraph operator . kate thinks she is going to get to go to the front with phillip , but he tells her he tried , but there ' s just no way she can go to the front . this makes kate mad and she stops dancing with phillip saying that she forgot about her real dancing partner . her parting shot is that she will see phil in leningrad .
i didn’t like the movie ( i had a feeling it was half baked ) but i would disagree with “joe” - if you would have remembered some history of ww2 you would have realize that nina’s actions in the opening sequence were nothing but an act of desperate humanity ( sort of like the kamikaze ) . that is if leningrad were taken by the nazi much more civilians would die and suffer . ( after all “operation barbarossa” was only the means for setting a so called “new order” . to do this heinrich himmler , head of the ss , was assigned to implement the enslavement , expulsion , and extermination of slavic population ) . p . s . sorry – my english is still not good
agree with your comments . i have been trying to pinpoint some of the events in the firm , e . g . the apparent transport ( for approved persons ) from st petersburg to ? ? ? . if it was from st petersburg to moscow , there was a problem of passing through nazi occupied territory . if it was via finland , this would be impossible , as finland was allied to the axis . and if american diplomatic privilege was involved , all the action would have had to take place between august and december , when pearl harbor brought the americans into the war . i was around at the time , more personally involve with the nazi blitz on the uk .
i bought this dvd purely ' on spec ' as a result of a long interest in the russian front . basically i buy anything connected with that subject which looks even vaguely interesting and is not over - priced . in this case i was pleasantly surprised . the cover of the dvd does not do the film any justice at all with what seem to be american planes strafing the hapless city . what type of aircraft they are , or to which side they belong cannot be determined , but surely a better jacket could have been designed . that being said this is a very worthwhile human interest story of a young woman caught up in possibly the worst siege in modern history after returning to russia , the land of her forbears , as a journalist just before the beginning of the war only to find that she is far from welcome in the first place .

) . let’s do a bit of research first though i think . well , it stars oscar winner mira sorvino ,
it’s a painful experience to watch . i don’t mind a bit of cheesy acting and naff dialogue if a film has fun with it , but when the subject matter demands that it takes itself seriously , everything just falls apart . in a film where children starve to death and people cut off the flesh from bodies in the street just to survive , you feel nothing because the scenes are so bluntly handled and hammily performed .
knowing the history behind it , spotting obvious inaccuracies… it is still such a powerful and tragic story that had me wiping away the tears and feeling so terribly heartsore for the suffering of 1 . 5million people . i didnt stop to wonder or think the acting was rubbish . the message it set out to convey – was received . without criticism . and for those who don ' t know much about the seige , they have been astounded , shocked , horrified to learn about a piece of history to which they were previously ignorant about . nobody mentioned the lack of acting ' skill ' .
david , i ` ve seen the film and i liked it very much . first 5 minutes of it were very boring , only for me i hope , but after that , i just couldn ` t stop watching it ! this film is very good in my opinion , yes could have been better but it ` s also ok the way it is . the story , the actors , are ok in my point of view . they acted just like in real life , it ` s nothing bad in this !
wow , i must have been watching a different movie , because i thought this was one of the cheesiest , most embarassingly badly acted films i ' ve seen in a long time . why do you guys think a film with some reasonably well known stars like this took 3 years after completion to get released and then went straight to dvd ?
fred apparently only likes reviews that coincide with his opinion . but just because a story is worth telling doesn ' t mean that it will translate to a good film . i ' d read the history book instead . if it ' s a serious flim with hammy performances , that is something very difficult to overlook , unless it is doing something completely cutting edge and original otherwise to be in awe over .

everybody dreams of a merry christmas with loved ones . burt these three characters want more than just a happy holiday . they want an erotic christmas . the three are an innocent young cop , a pretty wanna - be actress who is secretly adored by the cop , and a romantic , a big - time gang boss . will their next christmas be an erotic one ?
happy ero christmas is a south korean movie that stars cha tae - hyun as a police officer who falls in love with a young woman ( kim seon - a ) who works in a local bowling alley . unfortunately , the young woman has also caught the eye of a local gangster ( park yeong - gyu ) , a criminal that tae - hyun…
have all your christmas shopping finally sorted ? looking for a nice movie to chill out to and get yourself into the christmas spirit ? as you may know , the korean culture centre has open film nights every other thursday evenings . the last screening of the year was happy ero christmas . now , from the name , it suggests x - rated scenes ( as ero = erotic ) , so to be watching this kind of film in a room filled with strangers promises to be an awkward experience ! but i only remember one overly awkward scene ( near the beginning , gets it out of the way asap ) which everyone just laughed off awkwardly . the rest of the film was actually pretty funny and entertaining . check out the trailer :
cinema on the park’s 2012 lineup closed out with the wonderfully titled ‘happy ero christmas’ , a movie which pretty much demands a viewing just based on its name alone . the only movie by director lee geong - dong , the movie stars cha tae - hyeon ( speedy scandal / 과속스캔들 ) as a down on his luck patrolman and kim seon - ah ( she’s on duty / 잠복근무 ) as a shy bowling alley attendant , whom as with any korean romantic comedy , somehow have to end up together .
even more incomprehensible is the second story , which is told through small episodes throughout the film and is the filmmaker ' s attempt to fulfill the
ero
part of the title . after overhearing an old man rhapsodize about the sexual side of the holidays , two teenagers attempt to find ways to
get some
on christmas .
‘happy ero christmas’ seems somewhat confused as to what kind of romantic comedy it wants to be though . check out any plot synopsis on the internet , and it’ll no doubt explain that it’s the story of a patrolman & a gangster vying for the affections of the girl who works at the local bowling alley . however director geong - dong sometimes seems like he wants to create an ensemble piece , similar to the british movie ‘love actually’ which came out the same year , by introducing us to a selection of other characters as well .
the rabbit and i were venturing to the new seoul central library to return my dvds from last week and she picked - up this little gem . i saw the
happy christmas
portion of the title , and i had a vague flash - back to some korean
love actually
clone from christmas of 2007 - my first holiday season away from home . i didn ' t get to see it then , so i thought this might be a good time to make amends .
perhaps it’s representative of movies from that era of korean cinema in the early 2000s , when it was still finding its feet to establish the look and feel that it does today . certainly later romantic comedy efforts that combine action and humour , such as ‘my girlfriend is an agent / 7급 공무원’ , balance the comedy and fisty cuffs in a much more appropriate manner than their earlier counterparts . all in all ‘happy ero christmas’ , while by no means essential viewing , is still a pleasant enough diversion , and where else can you find a movie that combines the festive season with adult movie making ! ?
so , apparently ,
ero
is konglish for eroticism . hey , everyone - i ' m going to go home to watch an erotic holiday video with my wife ! it pays to look into these things before introducing them to one ' s co - workers .
sangdoo , a teenager looking to get lucky over christmas , gets his friend to introduce him to a girl in their school . only to realise that he has feelings for her .
besides the fact that there are holiday songs in the background of almost every scene , and that min - kyong ' s birthday falls on christmas , there is very little reason why the story has to take place during the holidays . as the story wears on , the artificial christmas context gets to feel more and more like decorations placed around a fairly run - of - the - mill gangster comedy .
i pretty much ‘nothing’ this movie . the gag - humor was gag - inducing in the worst ways so it’s a terrible comedy . the acting is blah , with a side of a story that is just duh . the title ' s mention of ‘christmas’ is just that . an insignificant word in a title . this movie has nothing to do with christmas , other than i’m sure it was released relatively near december 25th in 2003 . what a confusing theatrical experience that must have been .
simultaneously telling two romantic stories set over the holidays ,
christmas
feels like two films in one . with one story being sweet and the other raunchy , the movie seems to be trying to cover all the commercial bases rather than make a narrative point .
( comedic cheese with a surprising heart ) . he ' s unrecognizable behind the rudolph nose , but trust me - he ' s a likeable cat . christmas and cha tae - hyun - how could one go wrong ? the weather is getting colder and halloween is over , so why not ?
after

there’s a couple of teenage schoolboys who launch various schemes to get female attention , there’s the bowling alley attendant’s friend who wants to win an upcoming beauty pageant , not to mention there’s the film - crew attempting to make the titular adult movie suggested in the title , the hilariously named ‘happy sexmas’ . while each of these other plot threads sound promising , they seem to meaninglessly meander in and out of the main plot concerning tae - hyeon and seon - ah , so that in the end they don’t feel so much a part of the movies flow as they do a distraction to it .
anyway , we take the movie home and then then the next day i ' m having a conversation with my co - teachers about the movie i ' m going to watch with my wife later that night . i was convinced it was called
merry christmas
and it was made in 2007 . there seemed to be some kind of buzz about the office as nobody had heard of the movie . a frantic naver search began and then we finally came across the poster that i recognized from the dvd cover .

the answer , which the film ' s title makes plain , is the basis of a movie that tries to add a little spice to the good tidings and cheer usually connected to the season .
the main story revolves around byong - ki ( cha tae - hyun ) , a shy and bumbling police officer who has a crush on min - kyong ( kim sun - ah ) , an employee of the neighborhood bowling alley .
byong - ki ' s quiet and almost unnoticeable attempts to woo min - kyong are met with a problem when the boss of a local gang ( park young - kyu ) also falls in love with min - kyong . the two bachelors end up competing for min - kyong ' s attention while at the same time fighting each other .

this movie is a trip . i dint expect it to be so funny like that . its an old movie but the humor is in there somewhere . kim sun ah is forever my favorite actress mainly coz of how natural and talented she is with her roles . she dint even have to do much but her actions spoke louder . she is a regular girl working at a bowling alley and one time she was standing at a balcony and spit and it hit park young kyu ( protect the boss ) . hes is a notorious and weird gang leader who believes in conserving the environment . he falls for her instantly and tries to pursue her forcefully . the other guy cha tae hyun ( my sassy girl ) is a underated / underpayed cop who wears masks sometimes as a traffic guy . he falls for her too but his moves are sweet . he hates young kyu because of an incident that happened to him when he was young . they fight for the girls love is hilarious .

minkyong ( who works in a bowling alley ) has recently broken up with her boyfriend and bumped into byungki ( a police officer ) . there is an instant attraction , for byungki anyway , so he tries to get close to her . only to the interrupted by local gangster who has also fallen for her .
as byungki tries to get closer to minkyong , the gangster gets between them , shooting down any chance byungki has with her . this happens so much that byungki in return , takes any chance he gets to try to arrest the gangster .
aha , at first i was a little iffy about actually watching this film , but now i am glad that i did , apart from the few awkward scenes at the beginning . there were a few more hilariously random yet inappropriate parts which left everyone either bursting out with laughter or with bewildered expressions . i think i had an even mix !
there was a scene in particular that was too awesome for words , it left everyone in the room laughing hysterically . but unfortunately i can’t say anything as i do not want to rob future viewers of the full experience .

this is the third movie i’ve seen with cha tae - hyeon as the lead . i nothing him as well .
another case for misleading promotional film art . that i fell for . again . * maybe i should start reading movie summaries…
i ' ll start this review with a disclaimer . this is a movie that i ' ve been able to find out very little about . none of the credits were translated on the print that i viewed , and the little information i have here was gleaned from some time spent scouring the internet ( not always the most reliable source of information - which is something easy to forget ) .

during this period of his career , made just a couple of years after the seminal ‘my sassy girl / 엽기적인 그녀’ , tae - hyeon was still being typecast as the underachiever with a heart of gold , and in this particular movie he seems to be playing a carbon copy of his character from ‘my sassy girl’ more than ever . still , considering it was the kind of goofy charm that he pulls of so well that lead to his popularity , that’s not necessarily such a bad thing .
still , despite the somewhat shoehorned fashion these sub - plots appear , they do earn points for providing some of the funniest stand alone moments of the movie . the tale the two teenage boys share with each other of how fishermen keep away sexual frustration while at sea had about half the audience laughing ( well…possibly just me & my friend ) , while the rest shifted a little uncomfortably in their seats , and one of the beauty pageant members special talent with an egg is also a moment of comedy gold . ultimately though , these elements drive the movie to a bloated 110 minute run - time , several of which could have benefited from being left on the cutting room floor .
thankfully the central plot is competently handled , taking place in a small hot - spring town , the local gangster park yeong - goo ( attack the gas station / 주유소 습격사건 ) plays the love rival to tae - hyeon’s bumbling cop , falling for the same girl after an unfortunately timed phlegm attack lands on his head . alarmingly this was the second movie that was shown during december to feature a guy falling for a girl after she essentially spat on him from a great height , the first being ‘cyrano agency / 시라노 ; 연애조작단’ . could it be a convention of korean cinema that the high brow critics have managed to overlook ? look for my book ‘i spit on your head : 10 years of korean romantic comedies’ , not coming to a bookshelf near you anytime soon .
screenwriter lee eon - hee’s script goes through the standard paces but keeps things light and pleasant so the movie never becomes a chore to watch . interestingly when it comes to the inevitable showdown between cop and gangster , the fight is played alarmingly realistically , with yeong - goo punching tae - hyeon in the face until he becomes bloodied and bruised . i’ve seen this trait in korean comedy movies before , the tendency to throw in quite brutal violence in what is supposed to be a light and fluffy comedic situation , and certainly to a western audience i think it always comes off as a little uncomfortable . i’ll never forget watching ‘my wife is a gangster / 조폭 마누라’ for the first time , and remember being a little shocked at the fact one minute i was laughing at a gangster trying to give mouth to mouth resuscitation to a cat , then the next a pregnant woman was being repeatedly kicked in the chest .
say , brainless , i still haven ' t been to tahiti , the fiji islands or the coral sea , but i do know where coconuts come from and i have seen a few things . after a year on canadian soil to complete my teaching degree , i ' ve returned to the land of the morning calm . sometimes i like to write about that and other things . here ' s to anchor chains , plane motors , and train whistles . . .
i have lived in korea long enough to have seen some absolutely awful films . one was an american ensemble piece from 2008 that was trying to cash in on the crash formula . it sucked . can ' t remember the name . i also saw
some of the terrible movies i ' ve seen here have also been korean . anyway , this latest one comes dangerously close to de - throning d - war as the worst korean film i ' ve ever seen .
i know , the cover doesn ' t look promising , but hear me out . . .
the movie is not erotic , but it certainly is awful . i ' ll let the poorly edited wikipedia plot summary take over from here , because i really can ' t bear to mentally return to any moment from that film :
) is a patrolman of few words in a village , helping out trivial tasks like distributing promotional papers . one day , he runs into min - kyong (
i tried to imagine the cast of this
film
attending the premiere , and the cold sweat that appears on the brows of those who would rather be anywhere else .
tonight . the opening credits will be like a pallet cleanser , and the rest will be like the filmic meal i ' ve been needing since my cinematic stomach rejected the putrid and paltry offering i presented last night .

entertaining but not to my expectation . being a chae tae hyun fan , i must have expected more . but at the end of the day , still good film .
hamster , anonoymous and brian c . i dunno what you guys are on about . kim sun ah was crap and annoying ? ! what are you talking about ? obviously you will never have the talent to be an actor . or even fare better as critics . she was great in this movie . she showed great talent and i loved the way she pulled off her humour . she was the best reason for watching and recommending this movie .
the reason why i bought this movie was simply because cha tae hyun is in it . if you ' re a fan and have fun watching cha tae hyun on screen , then i ' d advice you to buy it , otherwise , don ' t as the story is really dragging .
you will love cha tae - hyun as always . . . he is so funy and cute ! you will love this film when u watch this one . just try to ignore the girl if u can . : )
