A great movie

Rating: Null/10 (17 June 2003)

Before leaving my comment, I've read some comments about this movie. Most of them were made by not-Russians. There were some complains on some effects or storyline etc. Someone even tell that this movie sucks or something like that. Believe me, for me (I'm Ukrainian) this movie in incredible. I could place him among the best Soviet military films, like "V boy idut odni stariki", "Aty-baty, shli soldaty". I don't care about effects (though they are of high level), or Ford's Russian accent (though I think Ford's and Neeson's playing are great too, like the rest of crew) but the atmosphere of the film is really emotional. It makes me cry in some moments in the end. I can hardly believe that this movie was made in the USA. And I'm thanking the director and all the movie crew for this movie. It is made in best Russian traditions. It shows bravery, honor, and self-sacrificing of Soviet submariners and it makes me think how I would be in such situatuon, when you are in second repair team and you know that you will get very high dose of radiation if you go there. Could you be brave enough? I guess this movie shows the real atmosphere of the cold war, I think it was like that. The soundtrack is great too. So, once again, K-19 is a great Soviet patriotic movie, and I'm thanking those not-Russians who understood the main idea of the movie, but didn't watch and comment it like an entertainment movie.
