Talk:Taras Bulba (2009 film)

Proposed deletion
I object to the deletion as the production of the movie has definitely begun and even finished; the fact that the release seems to be delayed is no reason for deleting the article. Dawidbernard (talk) 21:22, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Rename
It has been released in 2009 and should therefore be renamed to Taras Bulba (2009 film). 89.212.189.238 (talk) 18:25, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Many in Russia are afraid that the movie will exacerbate historical disagreements with Ukraine.?
I don't live in Russia but I got the idea that most Russians (and most Ukrainians) don't give a f$%^ about this movie or it's possible consequences, I think it must be pointed out who those many are the crowds on the streets or the intelligentsia. — Mariah-Yulia (talk) 21:17, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

The source states: "W Rosji nie brakuje obaw", which literally translates as "In Russia there is no lack of fears that...". I rephrased it to stay closer to the source. Dawidbernard (talk) 10:46, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Storyline
Can anybody please write down a "storyline chapter" in the article. Havn't had the change to see the movie myself... Is the storlyline the same as the 1962 Hollywood movie based on the same story? —  Mariah-Yulia  • Talk to me!  07:17, 23 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I have seen it on DVD (in Russian). The storyline is a little different from the older movie. But unfortunately I don't have time right now to write down a good storyline for it. Närking (talk) 19:38, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Cossacks speak Russian.
"While the Polish characters in the movie speak Polish, the Ukrainian Cossacks are presented as speaking only Russian." There is no Russian propaganda in it. The Cossacks speak Russian because they did so in the original novel by Gogol (who wrote all his books in Russian). And it should be noted, that characters don`t speak "clean" Russian, but sometimes use Ukrainian words and/or accent (at least in the untranslated version of the film/novel). In fact, son of Taras Bulba is called Андрий (Andriy), which is the Russian transliteration of Ukrainian name Андрій (Andriy). The Russian equivalent of this name is Андрей (Andrey) and the English one is Andrew. And Cossacks are called "Kозаки (Kozaky)" in the original text instead of the Russian word "Kазаки (Kazaky)" The Polish howewer speak Russian in the novel and in the film they speak Polish (which is not bad on my opinion). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.66.105.225 (talk) 17:04, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
