not a review, but an observation

Rating: Null/10 (5 June 2006)

I think some have an expectation of this film based on the title. It wasn't. How would your expectation of the film have been different if it wasn't so titled?
If you're gonna make up a story around a historical event, don't call it the historical event, call it the story. I mean, they didn't call Dr. Zhivago: "The Revolution" What do you think when you hear the title? I think - a love story about a progressive writer set against early 20th century Russian political struggle. People don't try to take the thing too seriously. It's just plain inappropriate. So what we have here is egotism and ignorance and greed. Putting a Japanese flag on an American ship for a movie? Have you no shame?
