Truly a fantastic story. the book remains one of my all time faves and the film (although only covering a small percentage of the book) is also wonderful.
4 mins in he better get this goddamn letter back 😭😭😭 I never appreciated Kevin spacey when I was younger, I began to appreciate him only recently I wish for him to return. I get the sense that this character is a little bit Kevin himself.
I love this movie but would not have been surprised if instead of the ending being Mary finding him dead, he was in jail/institutionalized for assault lol
That’s very misleading! 1984 there were no repressions - they were over in 1953 when Stalin died. This story happened before WWII in 1935 - and even then he wasn’t in jail - he died in air crash. The real story was about how come that man (Petrov) could be in the picture at the time he was in ICU unconscious. This is a real story proving that there are things we can’t explain, however, the movie made as political nonsense.
The story with letters and such was completely made up as an April 1st story for a Russian Ogonyok Magazine in 1999. The author of the article, is a Russian Journalist Valeri Chumakov. In the reality, the writer and journalist Evgeniy Petrov never had such a hobby, though he indeed died in a plane crash in 1942.
i like that they make him smoling not look weird just cuz he cant do it involuntarily, it looks like a normal smile but it feels weird to us cuz iys max whos doing it
This is not going to be popular but Hilberg's interview seems powerful until you think about it. It is not true to suggest that just because Christian missionaries or secular rulers wanted to seperate the Jews off that they sowed the seeds of Nazism. The Nazis were psychopaths first and racists second. When are we going to examine German culture and discover its macabre and misanthropic elements as an explanation for the Holocaust? To do that would lead to accusations of xenophobia and stereotyping. So instead we are left with the uneasy idea that all we need is "tolerance" and "diversity". What were Hilberg's views on Israel? What would he feel about Jewish parents wanting their children to marry Jews not gentiles?
Best friend means very important person to you , the most important things in our life is a bestfriend but its very sad that is very hard to find the most important in our life, sometimes we will die that we dont have them
Omg I almost never cry, but am crying at this... I really identify with Max, I'm just here as I wanted to recommend the film to someone, but a bit earlier I was talking earlier with a close friend of mine, who is a penpal... the story is actually pretty similar, as she just added me on Facebook at random one day, and we started talking, and we have known each other over 7 years now, so I pretty much saw her grow up from a teen into an adult... not to mention, she helped me kick a few bad habits I had... after this convo with her now, this clip made me cry... if only I could express it as profoundly as Max did (I am a songwriter too, so if I could somehow express this in the form of a song) Edit: She just reminded me, we have known each other 9 years, not 7, it was longer than I thought
this really happened in 1939 with the writer Petrov. But, as usual, it was not without Russophobia! No one arrested Petrov. But he really died in a plane crash.

You're the greatest. Yes, I understand your business is serious, it brings me never-ending smiles and laughs. I'm thinking of starting my own pencil sharpening business. Thanks for the tips. LOL
