Descrição: From the 2002 Russian film Zvezda, made by the Russian film studio MosFilm. This film, set in 1944, is about a team of 7 Soviet scouts who go behind enemy lines to gather intelligence. Their code name is "zvezda", which means "star"; the code name of their radio base is "earth". In this scene, the climactic shoot-out, they are finally cornered in a barn while trying to radio the intel they gathered back to base. Great film, IMO, and very popular in Russia, almost as popular as 9 Rota (about Soviets in Afghanistan). Much better than Saving Private Ryan, which inspired the director to make it, as a kind of response from the real WW2 (as opposed to the superfluous cake-walk on the western front that only accounted for 10% of German casualties). Suggested reading: -My Silent War, by Kim Philby -No Other Choice, by George Blake -Man Without a Face, by Markus Wolf -The Short Timers and The Phantom Blooper, by Gustav Hasford (www.gustavhasford.com) -Maverick Marine, by Hans Schmidt (about Smedley Butler) -The Fabric of Reality, by David Deutsch -Godel, Escher, Bach, by Douglas Hofstadter Yes, I know it is not the greatest quality, what with the red lettering in the center of the screen. I ripped it from a dvd with a downloaded demo version of a video ripper. Anyway, this clip is aimed at the kind of people who aren't bothered by such superficial matters. ------------------- Thursday 29 March 2007: -Hu JinTao finishes 3-day visit to Moscow, signs oil and gas agreements, and joint Russia-China Mars mission is announced. -According to Wikipedia, the Indian military is looking into building the BrahMos 2, a Mach 8 ramjet anti-ship cruise missile. -From what I've seen of the trailers for 300, it looks like a pathetic piece of violence porn. No wonder it's so popular in the states. -The Cuban health care system provides its citizens with the same life expectancy, infant mortality and doctor/patient ratio as in "1st World" countries, at 1/10 the per-person price as in Europe and 1/20 the price as in the USA. That is, the Cuban health care system is 10 and 20 times as efficient as those of Europe and the USA, respectively. -Trotsky vive! --------------------------------- More blog entries at my channel.
