How should I put it, the BBC gave me a feeling of, ''I don't know if I've worked hard and I really can't''... 8:20 Pot Cover Pierre - As if from a third-rate comedy It's like a fool just pulled out of the script. Let me state in advance that I don't think I've seen any third-rate comedies, so I may be insulting third-rate comedies. It's obvious that makeup can solve the problem, and Pierre is forced to leave at 8:20. I really doubt that they are deliberately funny. And this Andre! It's no longer hateful to describe. I was already starting to hate him when he pushed the pregnant little duchess into the seat anyway. Anatoly and Helen...I don't know where to start.
It can't be said that the production team didn't read the book or the Soviet version of the movie... They should have seen the movie (or the comic strip) and threw a slice at all the characters (it said ''mean'' and ''Vicious'' two words) two-way foil, and then a remake of the classic scene, and then a bunch of ill-timed intimacy scenes are added to it. The editor and director rushed to fall into the pit dug by the original book for readers, and then complacently showed off to the audience and said: You see the hint I got in the original text! Let's just say, an atheist has never had such a moment when he wants to kill them. Then there is the underworld soundtrack featured in the BBC's famous book, the "War Horse" style war scene, although I don't know where it is, but it is definitely not a Russian battlefield (God, that green and lush lawn...!). There is also a group of actors who can perform very well if the book is well written and forced to perform very reluctantly under the command of the director who does not like the character they adapted when it is estimated that they have not read the original book. Obviously bullying English-speaking audiences who don't understand Russian and don't want to watch the former Soviet version by themselves. It is also 6 hours long, and the Russians themselves are really comfortable. Seriously, why do you BBC take the original book that you hate so much to make something you hate so much?
So I finally understand why some people are used to watching dramas at 1.5x speed. Because watching this show at the original speed is a cruel punishment for me and some of the actors in it. One out of two stars goes to little Burke and Nicola (I'm too bad for the old Deng in this movie). There really can't be more. This movie is now rated so high that I'm on the verge of losing my mind.
Seriously, if someone told me the only way to stop this thing was to personally travel back 15 years and kill the screenwriter, I wouldn't hesitate to do so.
