USSR passports were in circulation until roughly the mid 2000’s when exchanging them became compulsory
BlackHatMDA i’ve been looking for this comment
Okay, bit more details:
Soviet passports were issued until late 1997(!) and were legal until 2004. So having a Soviet passport was nothing out of ordinary in the year 2000.
Also, unlike a Russian passport, which you get at 14 and should exchange and 20, Soviet passports were issued at the age of 16 and were valid until the age of 25.
Since Danila should be about ~23-24 at that time period, he just maxing out his Soviet passport, before getting a new one. Doing that was a bit on the edgy side and frown upon, but just a bit.
@@laierr By the way, the American visa and Danila’s passport contained the date of his birth (August 5, 1975), the date of issue of documents (September 2, 1999), and even his place of birth (the city of Priozersk, Leningrad Region).
Soviet-issued passports were valid in Russian Federation until the expiry of the ID itself. Most of 90s newly issued IDs were using Soviet ID blanks, just with new RF stamps. This was big part due to overstock of the printed blanks and intended domestic region use. Also due to RF issuing IDs for domestic use only and those are not considered as international travel documents world wide. So "foreign passport" in this case refers to that "Travel Passport of RF citizen", not a "passport of some third Foreign state".
Bitch please
ok now we need брат 3 starring Roman raiding the RUclips hq in his quest to get his videos finally monetized
it was planned to make brat 3 but not by Balabanov - so it will be not so true

One of my favolite scene in movie its when Danila and Dasha waiting for Victor and they have a dialogue:
- What does "How are you" means?
- "Как дела" or "как поживаешь" .
- And why does everyone asks me about that? Are they interested or what?
- No, they are not.
- Then why?
- For nothing. Everything here is for nothing. Exept money.

"And why does everyone asks me about that? Are they interested or what?"
I met some Russians once and that's totally something they would've said.
@@tommyvercetti9434 I am russian living in eu for past 7 years. I still can't stand this shit. First I answered cause thought they really cared. Then I realised it's politness thing and they ask for nothing, and a I stopped answering, because it clearly annoys them. But they were asking every fucking time. So now I do answer again BECAUSE it annoys them.
@@svge96 And in what EU country exactly do you live, because it's more of an american thing than european. If in russia sometimes you can't say somethings because people take it too seriously, in usa it's the contrary and eu is the middle ground in terms of this mentality scale. You won't find anywhere in the world more "mass" common sense than in eu. So sometimes it's pointless sometimes not, sometimes more and other times less, it depends on what people you're dealing with, thus as a general rule it's better to approach with politeness and in diplomatic ways.
that part of "motherland is where your ass is comfortable" really hit close to me, my Grandad who was italian (neapolitan) used to say that, which made sense as he was an immigrant.

@@Belle75468 my favorite game, Grand Theft Auto: Ultraviolet
Maybe that's why some gamers thought GTA IV's color filter looked gloomy.
I actually think that Balabanov invited Irina Saltykova to "Brother 2" intentionally. She symbolizes (along with other things in that movie) the rich and glamorous Moscow life even in those time compared to the gloomy Petersburg in the first movie.
Also her relationship with Danila shows that his honest direct approach to women and life in general makes him a megachad that can get it on even with a famous pop-star.

See, as a Canadian, I feel like the more information and context you give in your review, the better an understanding of the movie I walk away with. So keep doing what you do, Roman.
I'm not surprised they chose NY as a setting, there's a big Russian presence here, especially in Brooklyn. My uncle had to deal with the Russian mafia of Brighton Beach once
Dude, you are everywhere
Yeah man you are everywhere xD
I can go anywhere and you are here it’s odd but cool
Well duh, Roman said exactly that in the vid
Yeah my family is Ukrainian so they all speaks Russian and we live in NYC. In Brighton Beach you can speak Russian like English in other parts of the city and good chances are people will understand.
There is something in this movie that nobody notices, something that is fundamentally important in Brat 2. Think of two characters as countries, Mennis (the US) and Danila (Russia). They met face to face with a legendary message of what is the true power. Danila is an outsider, a rogue who doesn't belong to the system, so in order to reach Mennis in his building at the top, he simply avoided all restrictions, security and rules of the entire system outside of it. The only possible way for Danila to achieve his goal is to choose the longest path walking upstairs with full of patience, faith, patriotism, love, determination, and all that done simply to reach the top of that financial empire and strike at the heart of it not with a bullet but with a word.
нихуя се
This is a great comment. And actually all Russians who watched this movie noticed it. Like the other guy said. Nechuja ce. It’s also an old school American saying “ Truth to Power “ which Danila said to Mennis. Sila v pravde is basically the same but roughly translated Power lies in truth. And that is what I live by.
You forgot "leaves piles of bodies behind him", but I agree
what an abject load of crap meant to try to romanticize a battle between two greedy violent scumbags as something 'noble'
THAT is is the symbolism of the Cold War mentality, right there...
lol this did not age well, danila is like a thug, a brute and a savage. He comes to destroy what others build and is nothing more than a terrorist like putin
Always liked Ben and Danila's friendship. Gave him a ride to Chicago, a slight bit of American culture here and there, and finally helps him catch a flight back to Moscow in exchange for some Russian music.

This movie is truly legendary, Брат 1 and 2 was my Father's favorite movie. Dad told to me how this movie explains that no matter where Russians are, true Russians will help each other out. My Father's life story story is very similar to Брат 2, except he snuck into New Zealand alone by shipping container, 1 kilometer from the New Zealand docking he jumped off the ship and swam to shore. My Father's favorite quote he always used from this movie, "В чем Сила"? That quote truly has a deeper meaning my Father explained. I'm proud to be Russian and Samoan. Love you Dad and miss you, until we meet again Dad. I'll continue our Russian pride and culture.
what year was that?
Wow what a story
Fun fact, the actor who plays Mennis was also in Fargo. He plays the irate customer that Jerry tries to scam with True Coat on his new car.
As well in home alone. As minivan driver from airport service
I had to watch this movie for a Russian foreign Policy class. Obviously there’s a lot to say but honestly the parts that was a gut punch was how much the parts in Chicago felt like Chicago (I grew up there). Not really the people, everyone was a caricature turned up to 11. But the feel of the city as whole, the alleyways felt Chicago as much as the downtown in a way that I’ve never seen in an American movie. Kinda shook me to find that the movie that best brought back the feeling of just walking around Chicago was a Russian movie. Wasn’t surprised at all to hear that’s how it was filmed
It seems to me that alot of Russians have a deep curiosity and interest in American culture and I would say the same for Americans interest in the Russian culture. Both of our cultures have a younger generation that don't feel the same as the older generation, we should embrace eachothers cultures. We should all be friends, no more fear and death. We yearn to know more about eachothers cultures, I love Russian culture as an American for so many reasons other than my soul is eternally interested in Russian culture for some reason myself. I want more brotherhood between 🇺🇸 and 🇷🇺, we should love eachother. Blessings to everyone in Russia in this strange time and I hope we can all find a path to friendship 🙏

as a foreign I'm more interested in America's culture than Russia.

Considering that Danila is a war veteran, I think he could defeat a few gangsters or just guards who never really been in a firefight. Because he has training, experience, strategical advantage, reflexes etc.
And the gangsters seemed to underestimate Danila. They like not considering him as an opponent, just going to destroy him, not giving a thought about him being able to fight back. And when they realized it, it was too late.
Soviet Union passports were still valid after the dissolution of the USSR. It must've meant that he received his passport shortly before the end of the Soviet Union.
*READ THIS IF YOU WANNA KNOW ACTUAL MEANING OF THIS GREAT MOVIE*
Basically, Danila is kind of russian doomer Rambo, but realistic.
I mean, he is just like Rambo, a war veteran who feels himself ''in the wrong cup''.
The difference is - Rambo tries to run from his past and live a normal life, eventually getting into another bloody fight somehow. (Unrealistic. Has no PTSD or another post war shit)
*Brat 1* : Danila on the other hand is still living in war. He's this kind of veteran who wants to go back in war, when ''everything was simple and there was country to fight for and was the enemy to fight against''. When he returns from Chechen war, he finds himself in a new society (USSR just collapsed). He fought for another country and new one is just hates him, so he doesn't goes to Second Chechen war. To find something in life, he goes to his brother in St.Petersburg and eventually, becomes a part of mob war. Yeah, as simple as it is. When he heards from his brother that ''Chechen is ruling this place'' ...Danila understands that this as an opportunity to ''continue the war''. He basically says ''yeah, i'll kill a human for you, why not'' ?
He does it all just because he wants to be part of war. No matter if it's conventional war between countries, mob/gang/mafia war or whatever.
*Brat 2* : When he kills all the mafia in Peter's city, he goes to Moscow. And then to USA, where he starts to kill random gangsters again. Not because -he wanted to help to twin brother of his war friend who died in Moscow due to accident and misunderstanding that happened in moscow's mafia that is also connected to Chicago's mafia- . No, he does all this stuff just because he wants to kill. He needs a mission to complete. He wants to be part of war. He sees an opportunity in this trip to Chicago. Look at his mission list: 1. kill super powerful american mafia boss. 2. help to random dude - twin brother of his war friend who is playing in NFL and getting less money that he should. Second parts sounds stupid, right? He belongs to war like all veterans of his kind do.
Chechnya, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Chicago - just battlefields with targets to eliminate. Nothing more.
Conclusion:
1) Chad Danila > Virgin Rambo / Chad Danila > that guy from american sniper / Chad Danila > everyone.
2) Film ''American Sniper'' has *something similar* to ''Brat''. Story of war veteran who wants ''to go back'' .
In American sniper, main character goes to war for 4 times even tho has kids, wife and etc. (he's obsessed with war). Same with Danila, but he has NOTHING.
He's a doomer killing machine who lives in broken country.
3) This film is reverse Hotline Miami. Russian goes in american city and kills american mafia cuz this mafia hurts his country.
4) Movie is great.
5) Roman is libtard.
Fuck you libtard. USA USA USA!!
Двачую этого господина. Я только не понял, за какую такую "другую страну" Данила воевал в Первую Чеченскую, если она началась в декабре 1994го, а страна распалась в декабре 1991?
@@namenlosnutz
В том то и дело, что Данила не просто так советский паспорт носит даже в 1999-ом. (Роман как раз сказал, что не понял этот момент). *Я считаю* , что Данила до конца в воссоединение СССР верил и явно был ''человеком старой закалки'' в плане идеологии. Поэтому, скорее всего и участвовал в Чеченской - не хотел дать отсоединиться ещё одной части своей страны. Во-втором фильме во время интервью, его сослуживец говорит, что ''воевал Данила храбрее всех и т.п. ''. Подумай, много ли людей того времени хотели воевать храбро. В первой чеченской, то? Какой смысл тогда было за РФ воевать? Все в пирамиды вкладывались да в банды сбивались. Служили либо призывники 18-ти летние, либо такие как Данила, те кто верили. И он явно не за РФ жизнью рисковал - за страну, в которой водителям автобусов платят больше чем учёным. Нееет, храбрость проявлял за надежду. Ну a фильм первый начинается с того, что вернувшегося с войны ГГ-ветерана избивают ''новые капиталисты-русские'' и в целом относятся все к нему как к дерьму и ''контуженому''. Символично.
Уходил геройствовать за воссоединение а домой вернулся, но как бы и не домой. Чеченцы рынками заправляют, да в тролейбусах за проезд не платят...в целом многое изменилось. Ушёл он в 1994-ом а вернуться смог только в 1997.
В 4-ом была какая-то надежда (ибо Казахстан только в 1992 вышел и не утихали забастовки ещё) а в 7-ом уже не было надежды.
@Lord Farquaad
Yep, that's true, I don't know much about 1st movie. Watched all other films about him tho and in those films he seems like a chill guy who has no PTSD.
Фильм 2000 года. На тот момент еще полстраны с советским паспортом ходило.
In the scene where Danila goes to Pittsburgh practice you can see Jaromir Jagr, a guy from Czech Republic who is also one of the most accomplished hockey players in the world. He wore Pittsburgh uniform for ~10 years.
You can also see Darius Kasparaitis, he is Lithuanian defenceman who has represented both Russia and Lithuania in international competitions.

29:33 Love how the crowd started screaming thinking Viktor was throwing a molotov
"That's American police for you" this line aged spectacularly
Roman constantly talks shit about Danila being "Basically Terminator" and "Unrealistically killing like 10 guys" in this review but it's almost like he didn't even pay attention!
Danila is good at combat because he was an actual foot soldier in the First Chechen War, which makes him easily outclass 'hood thugs that probably hold guns sideways when they shoot! He prevails because he always has the element of surprise in every encounter, like when he got surrounded in his girlfriend's appartment (her personal driver/bodyguard knew Danila and warned him about the thugs, because they actually approached him with Danila's picture asking if he seen the guy around) not to even MENTION the time when he hid a pistol inside the toilet in that club to come back later, recover it and shoot all the thugs inside! Danila is resourceful, trained and brave, which makes him seem like an action hero, but it's totally explained.
Also, about the pop-singer lady cameo: She is in the movie because Danila loves her, simple as that. He met her accidentally and it just clicked. It "doesn't make sence" because it doesn't have to make sense, just like love in general. I've never felt like her role in the movie is forced, but i really didn't like is how Danila smashed the U.S. reporter. It was rapey, out of nowhere and he straight up cheated. That said, it's totally believable, because Danila is kind of a dumbass.
How come you made 2 videos and still misunderstand the character THAT MUCH!?
This is why i don't donate to your patreon, Jesus-hair lookin' ass
I agree
Roman needs to work on his movie review skills
Destroyed with facts and logic
He also gets wrong why Viktor is arrested in the end. It has nothing to do with beating up a cop. While Danila is shooting up Mennis's club the reason Viktor doesn't show up is he's busy shooting up the Ukrainian mafia in Restaurant Lvov. Danila has this explained by a Ukrainian onlooker as Viktor is being arrested, some Russian showed up and killed every Ukrainian in the restaurant. Would've been cool to see lol
Ah yes
Also he doesn't mention now Victor's interaction with their mom mirrors Danila's interaction with her in the first movie.
At 21:43 that bridge is in the poconos right over the Delaware it’s like 15 minutes from my house. That’s crazy to see in a Russian film.
I just rewatched this movie and what stands out is that, in spite of Danila's final speech about the truth, he never even found the truth in the span of the movie - that his friend was murdered by mistake, and Belkin blamed Mennis for it, but Mennis had nothing to do with it. The Gromov brother didn't even seem interested in getting out of his situation and Danila basically did all this on a whim. This undercuts the message it seems that Danila's speech means to convey. Perhaps truth was behind Danila, but Danila did't act in pursuit of the truth, nor ever knew the truth. It seems the power is not in the money, or in the primal energy, and not in the truth either. It's a Nietzchean movie in the end. The power is in the will. Fascist wasn't lying after all.
Fantastic comment! Truth doesn't matter when you have control. Even worse , history is written by the victors, truth could be a lie yesterday, a lie now or a lie tomorrow.
Money doesn't matter for those who live beyond it, so it doesn't have the power. Even in heart of capitalistic world, people grow more and more unhappy. Or even worse, hollow and amoral. A Russian hockey player character in the movie shows this. He said no to Danilas request for shelter, even though Danila came to save him, avenge his brother and uphold truth. A request so tiny compared to rest of the mission. At the end of the movie, he didn't even say thanks for Danilas sacrifice and risk. He said, "where is more of my money?". Even worse, he lacked any emotion for his brothers demise. Who died, because he wanted to save him, his brother.
The power is in the will. For Danila, truth is the will. But it was his truth and no one else's. The rest did not care or knew actual truth.
Охренеть! Я столько раз пересматривал данный фильм и понимал, что Белкин подставил Менниса, но почему-то никогда не задумывался, что сам Данила до правды так не докопался.
Nietzche sucks, outside from a few quotes, his works are the ramblings of an angry German who's angry at God and thinks it is cool.
You misunderstood everything. Even though Mennis didn't order the assassination, he was the real reason. Mennis stole the hockey player's money, the hockey player's brother tried to help, and Belkin was afraid that this could ruin his business with Mennis. Danila spared Belkin only because he did not want to leave his son without a father, and not because Belkin put the blame on Mennis, Danila obviously did not believe him. Returning the stolen money to his friend's brother is the only thing he could do for a dead friend, and he did it and that way he restored justice. The hockey player did not want to communicate with him just because he was afraid, but he was happy with the money, he even mentioned the interest promised by Mennis, i.e. he expected more. This is a film about the inevitable justice that Danila personifies and the destruction of the idealistic ideas of Russians about the West.

"you gangstas"
"nah we russians"
Салтыкова символ запада, русская но вестернезированная, охуенный русский парень Данила оказывается падок на западные идеалы, в этом фишка. После его любви из первого фильма - избиваемой и насилуемой исконно русской женщины, которая символизирует старую Россию, Салтыкова символизирует новую, молодую, вестернезированную россию. Это вообще максимально символичный фильм.
I genuinely liked the idea of the pop star in that movie. Although it seems out of place, I think that was the whole point. Her being there adds some contrast to the general aesthetic of the film and shows the Americanized influence after the fall of the SU... which you can also say is just foreshawoding his trip to the US later in the film. You're right in the sense that she might not be doing too much for the plot as a whole but she does add another perspective to the story, especially for a more North American audience, because Russian life is so unfamiliar (to the Western culture), it just helps for the audience to have some connection to that world.
also she acts as a foil to Dasha

The shot where the car breaks down screams, "Leave the gun; take the cannoli," from, "The Godfather."
I'm waiting for more reviews of Russian movies.
Talking about Soviet passports, I clearly remember my family getting the Russian Federation ones in early 2000s, so I think this scene does not have any deep meaning at all, however the passport exchange process started in 1997
the crayfish saying also is used in Latvia. it's really funny translated to english
It's definitely present in Poland too. Pokazać gdzie raki zimują.

13:21 - у маман тоже был советский паспорт года эдак до 2000
не знаю че за маза, просто походу можно было использовать до срока истечения
ты прав, можно было обменять его на российский до 2004 года
Мне в 1996 исполнилось 16 и мне выдали советский паспорт, типа, чё бланкам пропадать. Потом лет в 20 надо было менять его, выдали уже российский.
Просто осталось много отпечатанных корочек для паспортов, вот и использовали пока не кончатся
давно это было но вроде 10 лет давали на смену паспорта либо в порядке очередного обмена либо в добровольно принудительном. я когда паспорт получал переживал что из за этого очереди наверное будут потому что срок подходил к концу
"Where the crayfish spend winter" - we have this exact saying in polish too xD
You should make a review of a film "Сёстры" It's not that popular but it's directed by sergey bodrov as almost 3rd film in brat branch.
That would be amazing.
Nice suggestion.
I watched "Brat" in my russian film class back in college, it was sick! Also liked the one about the Chernobyl zone that seems to have spawned the idea of "stalkers". Totally forget what its called rn but it was a total mind fuck. It was called "Stalker", huh.. Good shit!
That one was actually loosely based on the novel Roadside Picnic by Strugatsky brothers which is actually a great story on its own
Brat has truly influenced throughout my life. Born 1998, named Danila after the main character, having a brother, being a medical student and living abroad feeling a lot of the dilemmas discussed in the movies by my own. In fact, Sergey Bodrov is sth like an alter ego for me. R.I.P. and thanks for the incarnation.
Roman, thank you so much for introducing me, a film series that might just be one of my favorites of all time, and believe me that's coming from someone who's watched a lot of the classics. I hope you find this well, and it'd be great if you made more videos like these!

Very good review/summary. You should do one for "Война" ("War") which was Alexei Balabanov's next movie, released in 2002. It has pretty good portrayal of Russian and Chechen relationships during First and Second Chechen Campaigns.
I remember there being a review of the first one
Я узнал, что у меня
Есть огpомная семья -
И тpопинка, и лесок,
В поле каждый колосок!
Речка, небо голубое -
Это все мое, pодное!
Это Родина моя!
Всех люблю на свете я!
Please keep the Russian movie reviews coming! Brat is literally one of my most favourite films ever
The hacking isn't actually that farfetched, though it wouldn't show on the PC how it does (think of the jurassic park hacking scene) you could pretty easily use a computer and a signal scanner to record and recreate the code for car doors, especially back then.
When you push the door unlock button on your key fob, it sends out a modulated radio signal that gets picked up by a receiver in the car. If the modulated code matches the car’s, then it will unlock. Nowdays cars have additional security by changing the code every time the fob is pushed, which makes only replaying the recorded code not work as you would have to know the next in sequence which is determined by an algorithm present both in the card and the fob.
I'd love to see more videos about Russian culture from you. I think you should do some Russian music stuff too, specifically songs like "Don't Fool Around, America!" by Lube, as from what I understand, it portrays America in a more cynical light from a Russian POV during the collapse of the Soviet Union. I think that stuff is really interesting. Also, I'd agree that these videos are more so summaries or explanations. Maybe calling them " Explained" or something like that would be better?
You have undertaken quite a daunting task. Well done!!
31:28 ive seen gruz 200 on polish tv at like 3am some time ago and that was my first introduction to russian movies, that was quite a goddamn experience
tritekstyn I also watched it some days ago. It was so fucking depressing
LMAO totally not the most welcoming Russian movie to watch for the first time
@@artemijsem actually it was the opposite for me, when i watched that movie for the first time i remember thinking "holy shit that was depressing and disgusting but also fucking awesome" and made me watch more russian movies and listen to russian music
it's a masterpiece. btw it's from the same director
Here's one reason why Danila may have had USSR passport in 1999. This would have been a passport that was issued him in late 1980s-early 1990s when he turned 16. When the USSR ended and the Russian Federation started, not everyone changed their passports to the Russian ones right away. What they did was having stamps "This passport is the property of the Russian Federation" affixed to the old unexpired USSR passports and they continued to use the USSR passports until these expired.
Man, I really wanna see you review Сталкер or Курьер. Those were some of the first russian movies I watched and the cinematography and mood of each of the films is great. Would love to see that happen.
You weren't kidding bruh. Good movies, Thanks for doing the reviews. I can't wait to find Bumer with subtitles. That looks pretty good too.
Брат 1 и 2, они просто шедевры, я родился в 1994, и Брат 2 - классик для меня.
the guy looks pretty much like something when you'd combine Benicio Del Toro & Leonardo DiCaprio.
Viktor also calls some Ukrainians "banderets" or "banderovets", a follower of Stepan Bandera. From the Russian perspective, this can mean at best "traitor" or at worst "Nazi collaborator".
Not only for russians actually, i'm half rus and half western ukr, my grand grand father was murdered by banderas during 2WW, even though he was civil ukrainian, Who went against fascists
That issue is actually kinda troublesome for Ukrainians - their history as a nation is kinda short, and also very tumultuous (especially compared to other European countries), and so they don't have many national heroes. Bandera did fight for Ukraine's independence and territory after all, but he did it using some very controversial and questionable methods; so from the point of view of Ukraine's neighbors, he seems more like an enemy. No wonder some who were personally affected even consider him a war criminal - it's all about perspective. "One man's floor is another's ceiling", goes the saying.
In other words - he may not be the most positive and virtuous man out there, but it's the best they have. PS. many people don't like him here in Poland too - not me personally, 'cause I'm too young to remember any of these times, or even the aftermath in the commie period. But generally, in public discourse, some tensions around these topics are definitely palpable.
noob2243 as far as I know the poles do not acknowledge Ukraine and Belarus as countries as it is their land in their opinion. Also they blame the Russians and Germans for creating these countries.
@@__Ultimate West Ukraine is historically Polish, yes. City like Lviv in West Ukraine (used to be Lemberg) is actually a Polish city. And the people there are Greco-Catholic UNIAT. But in the rest of Ukraine, like central and eastern parts people are historically Russian, Russian-speakers, Orthodox Christian.
The USSR passport implies that Danila is a man of the old school, he is not defamed by the ideas of capitalism, is honest in his thoughts, although he is naive. The USSR and Russia are opposed in modern Russian culture. This little metaphor tells us that Danila is the man from old era.
Thanks for the review from a resident of Russia.
Bruh 2 : the bruhmpire bruhs back
Next time you review a movie, could it please be Операция Ы?
Amazing movie! Watched it even as a kid, haha, old school slav af!
Love from Bulgaria, Rip Alexei! :(
Great video bro
first review of brat 1 honestly made me wanna buy the dvd for both them and watch them finally excited that he finally reviewed the 2nd
So hyped for this vid!! Just rewatched all the previous brat videos and now this!!
Thank you, @NFKRZ. I have watched both movies, they are really good. The first movie had more atmosphere, the second was more thrilling. However I appreciate both movies.
21:44 i about pissed myself laughing when i saw how big that burger was lmao, y'all didn't have to do us like that...
Zemfira now labeled as "foreign agent" and so many other prominent singers that I grew up with and still like and listen to from time to time.
Absolutely wild times.
I think it's an interesting fact, that there is another movie from year 2000, called Brother, about a Japanese gangster coming to USA. By Takeshi Kitano. Though "brother" is there referring to how yakuza call each other brothers.
lets go boys i waited for this one i loved the first part!Much love from Serbia Roman
I always thought the final scene with the Businessman (I forgot his name) was super funny because Danya over here insinuates that the reason he has one is because he has truth on his side, when he also has a gun and the businessman doesn't.
Mennis had armed security and was too confident of himself so it does make sense that he does believe truth is more powerful in the end because despite all the money in the world, it couldn't stop Danilla reaching him
You need to check Nizshe philosophy. He wrote the book about the power of truth and the will. In some sense, Danila had a power of will even though he belived in the power of truth.
I was waiting for this!
When you thought Bruh couldn't be any better.
Nobody:
BRUH 2
You should make a video about more Russian movies you'd recommend, you've got a great commentary. Thanks for your videos.
Last time i was this early Danila was still riding shotgun with that trucker
My favourite movie by the way!
I suppose that comment about how Roman overlooked Danila's soldier background came after this?
Yeah
So?
75th like
You have NO idea how long I've been waiting for this!!!!
NFKRZ covering one of my favourite movies? I am for a treat today
Hi. Great review, of amazing film. I agree with everything you said. Also Brat 2 is one of not many squeals, in films industry, that actually was just as amazing as original.
This was really good Roman!
As an American I always thought it was so weird how in our movies, video games, and tv series the “bad guys” are always seem to be Russian. If another country did that with America I would think it would be kinda weird.
About the passport - the blanks of russian (internal) passports were adopted in 1997 and were not obligatory to change until you reach an age where you needed to change a photo on the passport. Instead, in the 90s russians issued a paper annex to a soviet passport (вкладыш) stating that you are a citizen of russia. You see that he has that kind of paper in his passport in that scene in a car.
He didn't have to be registered as a citizen, as long as he has been living on 6.2.1992 in russia - he became a citizen automatically by law.
He served the military of russia and he got his travel passport on a russian blank anyway.
"I don't care at all for the idea of a Russian world and I hate Russian Imperialism"
Oh ok.
"I also completely support the idea of an Anglo-Saxon world and just love the US"
Come on man, you have to see the contradiction here. Some way, somehow. I know you can do it.
What we really need is another

Oh hey I remember you, you're that moron who posts on Ushanka's channel all the time. Telling an actual guy who grew up under communism that he's wrong and that communism is just fantastic apparently.
