i have read all comment and realise that not many western people get the message from the film . probably that be because film poor subtitle or translation and lack information or knowledge about real life in russia and post soviet country . maybe follow explanation will help to clear couple of thing . firstly danila go to america not because of money but for revenge of his very close friend with whom he be in the army and be kill by russian gangster who misunderstand an order of their bos . russian mobster be not kill because danila like his son . secondly film try to show that like in russsia in america there be a lot of good and bad people and their nationality and race do not matter . in my opinion brat 2 be about life and life be different . you can not make opinion about people because of their nationality or race . in this film danila speak his mind and his opinion of other people be base on what they do not on what he think about or what other people think about them . if people be bastard he will treat them in the way appropriate way if not he will treat them as well in the appropriate way . this film be not about bad american and good russian it be about life .
