There best common language was English so they wrote almost all letter to each other in English etc. However, of course they're not going to do so for the purposes of a movie such as this which is made for a Russian audience so they would obviously want them to understand what they are hearing.

even though i am not Russian, i still am extremely fascinated by the lives of the last ruling royal family of Russia, as well as their deaths. My favorite is Anastasia, not only because of the legend of her possible survival, but because i feel that our personalities were very similar and i feel a certain connection with her. one day i would like to go to Russia and visit their burial place as well as the site were they died. thank u so much for posting this w/english subtitles
it really is a shame, because ya, Nicholas the 2nd wasn't a great leader, he was pretty bad to be honest, but he was a good man. He cared so much about his family, but was so blind to what was going on, and honestly wasn't prepared to rule that brought about the downfall of what was one of the most prosperous countries in the world.
from what i have learned about Nicholas is that he just wasnt leader material, he had no clue what he was doing but i didnt see him as a bad person just a bit blinded by his status in life, not really looking at the job he had to do. Him n his family didnt deserve to die like that or to be killed at all...think this is one of the saddest stories in history a long with Ann Frank
@welshman131049 Her voice was dubbed with Russian for the film . She does a such a wonderful job! Lynda said in an interview it took her a long time to get over doing the sence in the cellar, even though she knew it was "acting". It gave her an insight into the family who suffered that event for real.
Excited to watch this film!! I’ve been learning so much about this little family. I do know that they did not have a word for hemophilia in 1917 so confused why Alexei calls himself one. And Empress Alexandra did not speak fluent Russian/ could barely walk.
You're really great! Thank you so much. Finally i can see this movie (with english subs!). I really wanna buy the film but i cant find in belgium :( :p
Regarding MEASLES and ENGLISH: The girls heads were shaved as part of the treatment for measles. By summer 1917 they looked OK. Nicky & Alexandra (Alix) in private spoke English to each other and wrote to each other in English. Alix's mother was Princess Alice, the favorite daughter of Queen Victoria. She was taught English as her first language, German as her second. After Alice's early death, at age 35, Alix and her sisters spent a great deal of their time in England with Queen Victoria.
All the royal houses were related--because all of Britain's royals (children of Qu. Victoria & Pr. Albert) married into them. Alex'a was Victoria's granddaughter; Alx's mom dead by 6, V. got active in Alx's upbringing. Hesse-Darmstadt was claimed by Prussia as it bulldozed over its neighbors. Thus, Alx'a hated Prussia--or, as most came to know it, Germany. They ALL hated Wilhelm II--his Brit. mother included--he was so overbearing. (Alex'a's sister, Ella, was beloved by W. but she refused him.)
I wish Lynne Frederick could have played Alexandra in this film. You may remember that she played Tatiana in Nicholas and Alexandra almost 30 years previous to this film. It would have been a nice homage I think.
My favourite, as well as role model is Tatya (Tatiana Nikolaevna. I also feel my personality is alike hers. She was a red cross nurse, she cared for injured soldiers. I wish to be a midwife, I love taking care of ill people. My friends and family say i can take control and calm or help people. I have helpred my friends through things they have been scared of. However, I am not all soft. I am soft but stern at the same time. Also, I like to take care of situations myself, like a leader.
There were incredible crimes against the Russian people during Nicholas' reign, but all the reading I have done makes it sound like this is more because he just was not up to the task of the circumstances of his time. He was a gentle and kind man who just wasn't suited to lead a country embroiled in war and revolution, he probably would have been wonderful as a figurehead-constitutional monarch, but not as an old-style emperor.
No matter how clueless of a monarch he was, no one deserves to die especially the way he did. that's no excuse. and specially for his children, that wasn't fair for them either.
What Nicholas did and knew we can't know for sure but his son. A 13 year old boy,what could he have done even if he knew? What can a small boy do to stop his own father? I find it hard enough to borrow my dads car.Alexei could not stop his father even if he knew everything. He could voice his opinion and not be killed but that's it. He had no power over his father.Not even Alexandra Feodorovna could do anything about it.Stop a tyrant if you can but if you kill his children you are no better.
the scenery is ravishing. i wonder if alexandra really knew as much about state affairs as intimated here? any written material tends to state she was so caught up in her religeon and alexi's illness she had little time for aything else. rasputin fed his version of politics whenhe was around
The actress playing Alexandra looked very familiar but I couldn't place her until today. She is the same actress who played Helen Herriot in the BBC production of All Creatures Great and Small.
By way of correction, I was wrong in that Nicholas did speak fluent German. Therefore, why his wife and he chose to speak English to each other, at least before the war, instead of German (her native language) is a mystery to me. Since her Russian was poor and her French accent was terrible, perhaps they considered it a compromise since she had difficulties with his native language. That’s just a guess.
Anastacia and Alexis corpes were seperated from the family they have both might have survived the bullet wound but Alexis body was found a day later and anastacia body was found in 2005
@MissErinMurphy I'm well aware of that. As you clearly didn't read my comment well enough, i said DOWNLOAD. If you simply click the CC button and try downloading this video, the subtitles don't come with it.
Something that's important to mention is that Nicholas was indeed, for all we know, a hardworking, sober, religious family man. But the ironic truth is that it was his almost complete lack of political wit, will and religious moderation that brought an end to the dynasty brought to greatness by the genius of Peter the Great almost three centuries before him. It was his blind faith in the divine right of monarchs that earned him the tittle of Nicholas the Bloody.
I recognize Tatiana because of the shorter hair. All the daughters are portrayed as being beautiful. My fav Romonav's are Alexei, Tatiana, and Maria. I cant bring myself to watchin any movies depicting Anastasia as a survivor because it is just too sad. This family was so close and loving, I guess a bright side is that none of them had to be a lone survivor knowing everyone else was dead.
@01Romanov Your great great grandmother was the Grand Duchess Xenia or Olga Alexandrovitch, please? Are you a member of the Romonov Family Association?
Is there possibly an english version somewhere? And really, what a man will do for his family triumphs in the end. It was atrocious in the end they all lost their lives for one man's mistake.
@huberlitvac You’re quite welcome. It might seem strange to many people that N & A normally spoke English to each other as neither was from an English speaking country. They fell into the habit naturally as that was the foreign language both spoke most fluently. Her Russian was poor and his English was near perfect, better than his French.
it wasnt till the last few days I did research on the Family, as I child I watched the Anastasia movie. In the scene when she was dancing in the old ball room I felt a deep sadness while watching because I thought about the life that was stolen from her and the womenhood she would never live out. That goes for the other children and a very sad end to a Romance of a Royal King and Queen, cast low under the foot of angry citizens. Royalty is supposed to be graceful and noble....to die like that...
Peidmonte89 I love the romanovs. In Serbia we have the karadjordjes and thank God the Communists never killed them. I wish for the descendants of the romanovs to rule Russia again. I suggest to listin to this. m.ruclips.net/video/_QvUKjCP1Z8/видео.html
@windstorm1000 you have to remember this is during WWI. Due to the war, help was hard to come by. Especially once the revolution took place. And the other royals in their extended family who could help waited untill it was too late to do anything. Not to mention most didnt consider really the fact that the Revolutionaries would ever kill woman and children. For years afterwards, their own goverment helped spread rumors about the supposed survival of the Tsarina and her daughters.
Now I know most of the this stuff, but what really I'm trying to figure out is how did Maria survive when being placed in the well with her died family and the gerande thrown in the well causing the rubble to burrie them so the bodies not found
What a coward the English King George V was to not help the imperial family.It was on his orders and his alone,that they were not allowed to come to England,and they where his own family.
@huberlitvac It is true that N & A usually spoke English to each other, but Alexandra did speak Russian; not well, but enough to make herself understood. She had to speak Russian to the guards after their fall. Also, Alexis, like his father, was a Russophile and insisted on speaking Russian. I’m not certain, but I'd guess that A usually spoke Russian to her son per the boy’s wish. (I don’t know how well the boy spoke English, German or French, for that matter.) P.S. your English is fine.
@kmshaw54 This movie is in Russian save for a line from Alexis. While reading Pushkin to the boy while in bed, Alexis giggles and she asks why. He answers in English, with a Russian accent, “It is just that your reading is so ‘unusual’,” a reference to her poor Russian I would guess (which amusingly appears to go over her head). Could Alexis and his sisters speak fluent English? I know that the boy at least preferred Russian like his father. Alix usually spoke Russian to the kids? Thanks.
The american civil war was in a time before "total war" before ideologies..war was a way to settle conflicts and problems usually in a limited geographic space with usually professional soldiers fighting it out..the modern,mechanized,ideological war made that into massmurder...
@Neithie Thank you! I mean they could have made them step down as rulers. But let them live their days in peace. When Commis go around talking about why Nicholas deserved to die I ask, "Well why did his wife and children have to die?" To which everyone of them I every asked can never reply.
The murder of this family was totally cruel and unwarranted. But I don't think the Russian people were particularly well off under Nicholas. And unfortunately the cure for the Russian monarchy became worse than the disease.
@manuelherrera777 Good point; if only Nicholas II had chosen to become a constitutional monarch, as in the UK or Denmark, things might have worked out differently.
if i were the red army i would just tell them to step down. but i guess since Nicholas had some powerful friends then they would try to make him the tsar again! :)
The similarity is very simple - if these conflicts had not occurred in the first place, these people would not have died. It doesn't matter - soldiers, civilians - they all die in this case because someone wanted something so badly that human life decreased in value for them. The tragedy of the loss of life transcends any of the ideas or politics current to the time.
Nicholas and Alexandria actually spoke to each other in English and German. Russian was rarely used. Although of course nicholas spoke fluent Russian.
There best common language was English so they wrote almost all letter to each other in English etc. However, of course they're not going to do so for the purposes of a movie such as this which is made for a Russian audience so they would obviously want them to understand what they are hearing.
