Day 14

The movie Brother was much different than the movies that we have recently watched over the course. It was a gangster movie and had a lot of action and killing involved. You can easily tell that the film was after the fall of the USSR. First off there was no MOSFILM in the beginning. Another dead giveaway was all the American items and Americanized stuff throughout the film as well as even other out of the country things not affiliated with just Russian. There were food and drinks like Coke, Sprite and even Mc Donald’s. There were electronics Like the Walkman CD player and Sony TV's and Panasonic VHS players. There was American music, clothing like blue jeans. Cars there were Jeeps, Plymouths and Volvos. There were people from America and France in the film.

There were two quotes that I heard and wrote down as I heard them because they stuck out. One from Viktor to Danila saying "St.Petersberg, not Leningrad, St.Pete's for short" and another was Danila speaking saying "Americans are going to bite it" Still some resentment? I think so.
