Irony of Fate Part 2

I would have to say comming into this class I did not really know what to expect from it. I was pleasantly surprised with this first movie. It had a lot of dry humor but was still vary funny. the whole movie was like a revolving door. it seemed as if every few minues some one was comming in the door to the apartment. In the 2nd half of the film they really portray that Zhenya was really starting to fall for Nadya, but also that she was still really hesistant twords letting her feelings out. At the end of the movie I did find it fun that Zhenya's friends did not have any idea what was going on, and how they looked at eachother puzzled that he was with a different women than they thought. I really enjoyed this movie. I have some friends in Russia and I am going to see if they can track this movie down and mail me a copy.

  1. I like the image of the revolving door--and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the movie. It's really become a part of the "Russian Soul" and lines from it have entered and become part of the general social lexicon. For example, if you say "пить надо меньше" (pit' nado men'she = you shouldn't drink so much) to a Russian, chances are very good they'll know where you're pulling it from.
