special

The fair portrait of last years of Stalin reign can be the basic virtue of this very special film.

It is special for acting and for inspired storytelling.

In same measure, for atmosphere and for the levels of story.

For great work of Tom Hardy and for the inspired end.

For moral kicks to real punches, for unrealism of a fist of scenes, well used in context of story, for the image of fragility of emotions, for the sketches of fear and cruelty, for the back ground and for the roots of evil. Short, just special.

Trivia
The scene at the Reichstag in 1945 when the Soviet flag is planted on the roof is based on a real incident. The soldier helping the one holding the flag was indeed wearing several watches, but the captain taking the photo failed to see it. As newspapers around the world published the photo, Stalin became angry at the implications of looting by the Red Army so the scene was staged and photographed again. Today both versions exist but there is no clear evidence of who the soldier holding the flag is.

Goofs
Mother of the killed boy says he was Leo's godson. This implies a religious affiliation, which in Stalinist times would have been an impossible thing to a high ranking officer of the Soviet army/militia.

Quotes
Leo Demidov: If you are so innocent, why do you run? Hmm?
Anatoly Tarasovich Brodsky: That's a very good question. I run because you were following me. When you are followed, you are arrested. And when you are arrested, you are already guilty. So you tell me, why did I run?
