Proposed move
This film is named after the song Dark Eyes (song). I don't think that the film is much more well-known than the song, quite the contrary. Therefore I propose to move this article to Dark Eyes (film) and Dark Eyes (song) to Dark Eyes. Gestumblindi 21:48, 10 August 2007 (UTC)


 * There are too many things with the name "Dark Eye(s)" to establish the song as the primary use of the term. Therefore, Dark Eyes now redirects to Dark Eye, a disambiguation page that lists all these possibilities. The dab terms (song) and (film) should stay.

 * Agree, it's certainly named after the song, as a nod to the bittersweet and Russian romanticism of both song and film. Right on the money, but it probably can't be proved by WP's self-imposed rules. 195.67.149.175 (talk) 14:24, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

Sysoyev - the name of the Russian town
In case anyone wants to do something of this: the name of the imaginary Russian town where Romano goes is Sysoyev (Сысоев). It is not the name of any real city, but there are a number of people who have the same name: Sysoyev at Russian wikipedia. The name comes from first name Sisoy (Сисой) of Hebrew origin. It is supposed to mean "sixth" or "white marble" according to luck.ru. There is no obvious connection to the film, as far as I can tell, and I have not found any resource explaining why that name was chosen. --Mlewan (talk) 06:50, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Strange choice of critics?
Very surprised at the negative criticism cited here, from people whose comments show quite clearly that they did not understand the film. If you look at http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1005238-dark_eyes, you will see that on 4 July 2013 it had a rating of 7.8 out of 10 and was certified 100% fresh. --Hors-la-loi 22:11, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
