Great movie, but lets get real. They had no access to a bathroom. How did they relieve themselves? That would also solve hydration issues. Additionally, how could the constant banging sounds not be heard from up above?
The peevish look of annoyed exasperation on Malkovich's face after he passes Cecile is priceless -- so are his other looks behind people's backs, The body language, the twitch of an eyebrow or corner of the mouth showing his utter contempt for them . . . . Malkovich is not conventionally good-looking, but the utter self-assurance of his character shows how readily women fall for a charismatic, suave charmer like this.
Pellicola molto bella, certo nulla di eccezionale ma comunque è una pellicola che regge, quindi molto bella e molto bella per me come valutazione è 7,5.
The scene from the movie is incomplete here, but in the full scene: 1. Houdini was in Russia from May and summer of 1903 (and it's snowing in the film), and the royal family was in Moscow on March 29-April 16, 1903 (came for Easter). 2. Anastasia was only 2 years old in 1903, and Alexey was not born at all, he was born already when the Russian-Japanese war was going on (August 1904), and he visited Moscow for the first time only in 1912. Rasputin met the tsar for the first time only in 1905. 3. The interior of the room is poor for the Kremlin Palace and does not even look like a boudoir, in addition, there are no apartments on this (eastern) side of the palace, there is a huge St. George's Hall (outside it is the 2nd and 3rd floors) with windows in two rows and Houdini looks out of the window of the upper row (that is, hanging in the hall in the air). The view from the window of the palace was taken from another point, possibly from the cathedral. 4. The Emperor says that the bells have not rung for a hundred years, but they rang beautifully 7 years ago during his coronation in 1896, as well as the coronation of 1883. They generally called always and without interruption. 5. The trick with the "wish" could be exposed right on the spot if family members asked each other which of them made this wish. 6. Nicholas crosses himself with all his fingers :-) (instead of three as Orthodox) 6. There was never any huge building from which Houdini's assistant allegedly shot at this place. And- the cherry on the cake (more precisely, watermelon on the cake) An assistant shakes a bell weighing 65 tons (this is a German Tiger II tank) with a rifle shot :-)
@@bryanlemmens68 Sorry, buddy, but this story is completely incorrect. I would have believed it more if his assistant had climbed the bell tower with a gramophone and turned on the bell ringing on it 🙂 PS. 7.The bells on such bell towers have never been hung on ropes 🙂
@DDD Denn that doesn't matter its still a good story and fun to watch so why ruin it? Its like telling a 5 year old Santa doesn't exist. Yeah we all know it but we pretend for the kids
@@bryanlemmens68 Hmmm, but this is not a movie for kids, they f♀♂k in bed. So we just have to expose stupid fiction. In my opinion, a feature film, if it is tied to a specific person or event, should firmly rely on facts and allow fiction only in private, unknown moments. Example: in a film about Galileo, it is permissible to insert "his" famous phrase, which he apparently did not say, but it is absurd to show that he thought the planet Earth is square. It is better to explain to adults that there is no Santa.
Apparently ‘the French’ only includes rich people in your imagination. There was a whole underclass which was allowed to starve and that’s why those aristocrats you so admire got their heads taken off at the guillotine.
Sadly, they will all be dead in a few years, then the Communists will spend the next 80 years starving, beating, and “disappearing” their citizens. As you can tell, I’m fun at parties.
