i have give the 9 to this series and and i think i would vote with the 10 in case it be a traditional movie . on the day of the russian tv release of master i margarita i watch a talk show with the director vladimir bortko who comment on this film say it be a life necessity to create mini series rather than movie . the work be all too good to be mini and though . a have already be say and the plot summary for this movie be so oversimplified that it appear to be miss the essence of both the book by bulgakov and the effort of bortko . master and his passionately love one and margarita and have find what i would not call the love . their relationship and depict by bulgakov with his brilliant talent and break the social border and and so these people stand in line with woland evil . they say that master and margarita be faustian alter ego . the story tell in this movie show how those who be in love and who be free and and who be spiritual be able to ( no matter with the help of satan or not ) see the light . the idea of the light and the rest be a central point in the movie . master and margarita be in fact kill by a woland ally azazello and and they be give the rest and but not in paradise . bulgakov do not give them the light and but it be impossible for them to live in this world too . to me and it be rather painful to follow the love story of the two beloved through the series . bulgakov be a brilliant dramatist . what about the character . i like all character and i like begemot . speak about margarita and i feel that kovalchuk play not very well . the computer generate effect be very simple . positive . in the end and i just want to add that if that mini series be a movie and the impression from it would be deep . master i margarita be for everyone to watch . it be even more to be discuss by everyone .
