the cult movie for every true russian intellectual . everything be brilliant and especially act represent it beyond any praise . the movie and a the book and be full of symbols represent my favorite one be the bright symbol of razrukha ( colloquial russian word for devastation and often signify the period of lifestyle chaos after the 1918 20 civil war ) the wide open dirty door in the bricky wall squeaking in the snowy wind and the pitch black hole of the doorway behind it . now the film be release on dvd with fully restore image and the 5 . 1 sound and there be well translated english subtitle too and though some obscene word of sharikov be replace by the more mild version in the translation . i do not know be that dvd available abroad but if you will find it grab it immediately and it really worthy of watch . and and in conclusion and a fact represent about the 50 % of russian today and mostly youth and can be identify a sharikovs in a considerable degree . it the post soviet effect represent soviet people appear to be wholly unprepared for the informational attack of the western civilization and tv producer and movie maker have make the entertainment industry and the mass medium amazingly aggressive and soulless and thoughtless so that it abet the dark instinct of every russian . even among the internet user every third one use the obscene language in forum and chat because it amazingly common in colloquial speech .
