This film is absolutely amazing. It gives the point of view from normal people who were living in extraordinary times. As an American I was baffled by what I saw and heard in the film about what these individuals thought of Americans when they were young and there are so many parallels that can be drawn between their thoughts and ours. They wanted peace and global security. I think anyone even mildly interested in Russian culture will enjoy this film. Even if you aren't that interested in the culture, just watch it for the history or the story. It's truly fascinating.
