[edit] "Some Viewers" explanation

In response to Anton, when I said "some viewers" I meant that this topic was discussed on the IMDB message boards among the people who saw this movie, and this was one of the arguments made against the people who said that this film was just propaganda. I thought it would be usefull to have this point mentioned in the Wiki article as a counterpoint to that other quote from the New York critic, and as a pre-emptive counterpoint to any future mentioning of the propaganda criticism (which I think is ridiculous - if this movie is propaganda, then so is Schindler's List... but anyway...).

Thanks for clarifying who "some viewers" are.

I understand your reasons perfectly. If this movie was half as popular in the U.S. as, say Team America: World Police, we'd have to deal with people adding all sorts of redundant things.

But anyone who's read even a tiny bit of Elem Klimov's life story would think twice before calling any of his films "propaganda." Anton Mravcek 21:15, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speculating on the MPAA rating

I don't know if you guys have seen American Pie, but you might know that the MPAA threatened to give the film an NC-17 rating if Jim thrust into the pie one too many times. So I think it's entirely plausible that the MPAA would've given this Russian film a PG-13 if there was no nudity, even with all the violence. This is still speculation, regardless of how plausible I might think it is. Robert Happelberg 22:27, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't think it's useful to tell readers that this would rate a PG-13 for violence, it's at least as violent--I would contend much more violent--as Saving Private Ryan, which was R. And that film had nothing comparable to Glasha's final scenes, the barn scene, Florya's village after the invasion, etc. I'd be willing to bet MPAA would give it an R for violence alone. Movies depicting rape (or in this case, its bloody aftermath)usually get an R.--Son of Somebody 08:16, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
