NW opened the line of truly well-filmed russian movies like "State Councilor" but it was still not high-quality. It was like a presentation of new russian abilities. We wanted the world to know that Hollywood is not better for us then our own movies.I liked Galina Tunina in the movie best of all. She was able to play a man in a woman's body so convincingly!
Wasn't she just marvelous!! 9I had to re-watch "give me towel" scene a few times :D It is just fantastic! I also liked Mariya Poroshina as Svetlana (there was so much light about her) and Zhanna Friske as Alisa (OMPH! He and Kostya's storyline was so wonderful) . And Zolotuhin was just beyond any words. He broke me heart – I never will see a vampire in the same light again. :D
Did I understand it right, you've already read Watches-series of Sergey Lukianenko? Then you must know that they've changed not only the ending but the whole plot. Not entirely but still... It was thoughtful.
No! I just realized today when I was Googling that Lukianenko wrote the books, I can't wait to start reading. I have read about the changed they made in the film, though.. Please spoil me – Do Svetlana and Anton love each other in the books too?
I agree there are a lot of our cultural references but I find them pretty explainable for foreigners.
Oh, I was so glad that some of my friends who are not Russian found it easy to understand!
Did you like the music?
Music was great too! (he-he I am using too many exclamation marks already!!) Is this some Russian band?
P.S. And did you spot Sergey Lukianenko in the row of students in the scene, where Anton in Olga's body comes to get Svetlana from her classes?

No, I don't know how he looks. Which one was he?
