"Perm, Russia, population 1 million'
Stark - well filmed and shocking personal stories. It reminded me of Charles Dickens England, only that story was fictional. Raises many questions. Has the fall of the Soviet Union been better or worse for the average Russian?
Is this an unpleasant reality which accompanies capitalism?
It turns out a character in the film is a pimp/boss - an ultimate 'capitalist', deriving his livelihood by living off his 'workers' and not giving anything back or leading the way to a better life... He lived this life by choice. The others didn't have a choice.
My heart was wrung out for them. very powerful.

This was my favorite film as a kid, from the age of about 5-9 I would watch it every Christmas, and i thought it was amazing, the music, seeing the war, the death, people dying, people get shot, every little detail in this film stayed with me, and I could remember everything. I loved being scared by this film, and being so sad by the music, and parts where certain characters die, such as the part where the kamikaze soldier offers James a peach, then as he's about to cut it with his samurai sword, gets shot in the throat, and you see the blood spill down onto the peach, this was all amazing stuff for me, seriously.... HOWEVER I decided to watch the film again for the first time in about 11 years, i'm 20 now, and from beginning to end I was SHOCKED at how bad this film is... everything is cliched, the acting and script is rubbish, the shots aren't special, everything I remembered as special is cheesey and just ridiculous!! I will no longer recommend this film to anyone, apart from parents who have kids 5-9, if their children have an imagination like I did then they will probably find this film special too, it made me grow up a bit a learn some important things in life. PS. (I also thought James was the coolest kid in the world) hahaha I can't believe that now!
don't buy this film for comedy value like I did, I didnt find it one bit funny, but so f****** miserable and lame it's unbelievable. I gave it to a friend for christmas which was pretty funny (on my side) I recently heard that he watched it and told me what an a**ehole I am!
There is nothing more frustrating than watching an over-lit, over dramatic, poorly scored scene in which the camera is sat there on a tripod and doesn't move... the film work is truely pathetic, and I can only say DONT WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!
