In the book Kitty is scared because she knows whats comming and confused because she loves Levin but at the same time she is influenced by her mom that Vronsky is better choice. She has not rejected him first time that easely
I think she was conflicted at rejecting him and that was perfectly captured by the actress. She didn't really say no she gave an ambiguous answer. And you could still see her conflict as Levin was essentially running away.
Она смутилась внезапности предложения, так не принято. "нет" не было категоричным отказом, а невозмодности ответить тут же. А Левин принял это за ответ, потому что не уверен в себе. Актеры восхитительны.
Honestly, I get the impression Tolstoy was actually very sensitive about the female puzzlingness with their role in society. They were so young, and juvenile, while about to embark into something they only have a vague idea about - sex, establishing a home, bonding with her husband in whatever way accessible, managing a household, pregnancy, giving birth, raising children, being a nurse basically, and more. As he wrote, a man just visits their house for a few weeks, until a proposal is the only proper action for him to take, and with all those considerations in her mind, the young woman has only two options - "yes", or "no".
Well, it’s more than just Kitty being influenced by her mother. Vronsky had a popular status in their society and was young and attractive, which Kitty liked. Her mother had an influence, but Kitty enjoyed being in the presence of Vronsky. Another important thing to consider is the fact that Levin had disappeared for a time to build his life out in the country, aspiring to be an agriculturist. Because of this, Levin had made an impression that insinuated a blasé attitude towards Kitty.
I know this is a version really different from the book, but this scene is perfect. I love how Levin looks Kitty like she was so superior, like an angel or a opera diva in the theatre... I LOVE IT! The concept is difficult to catch but, when you understand it, well it´s beautiful.
I have read the book...many times. It is one of my favorite books, after Persuasion by Jane Austin...But Constantin Demitrievich Levin is my favorite character of all time. The best I have ever seen him portrayed is the BBC version of Anna Karenina.
Yes, he was aware that she only married him because Vronski didn't want her, so she settled for Ljevin. I must say that the most stoic character is Tatjana Larrina, Evgenije Onjegin.
In Anna Karenina, love is depicted by comparisons. We see two romances side by side, but completely different in mood and texture. There is the story of young Levin, who is in many ways a hopeless romantic, deeply in love with Katerina (Kitty) Shcherbatsky, a young debutante preparing to make her entrance into Russian society. At first she spurns him, having committed her affections to the dashing Count Vronsky, a Prince Charming-esque character in almost every regard except for one: his unbridled taste for the fairer sex. In more modern terms, he’s basically a man-whore, casting his affections at the drop of a hat. Kitty falls prey to his debonair charm, and expects to receive an offer of marriage. But, at a ball, things go horribly wrong as another woman becomes the object of Vronsky’s affection: the mysterious Anna Karenina. Vronsky flees from Kitty, romancing Anna. This causes a rift between her and her husband, Alexei. At first he needlessly clings to his wife for the sake of honor alone, but eventually relinquishes her. Anna, still married by contract, now becomes scandalized for her affair with the count. They plunge into passion together, and the affair results in a pregnancy, further ostracizing her from society. Meanwhile, both Levin and Kitty, heartbroken, begin to build their lives apart from each other, finding purpose in the absence of romance. Later they come together, in renewed spirits, and begin to forge a relationship. Love blossoms very slowly between Levin and Kitty. With Vronsky and Anna it ignites with passion. Rather than an act of time and patience, love is a selfish matter. Both Anna and Vronsky turn away from their prior obligations: one of marriage, the other of a marriage-to-be. In the case of Anna and Vronsky, love requires abandonment. Alexei Karenin is stripped of a wife, and Kitty is stripped of a suitor. On the contrast, love is a patient affair with Kitty and Levin. It does not spring from sexual passion; it nurtures like a child. Far from perfect, we see the growing pains of Levin and Kitty’s relationship, even in marriage. There are doubts, there are quarrels, even moments of jealousy. But what Tolstoy is trying to show is that no romance is ever perfect. Even the best and most honest relationships come with blemishes. But these are only natural. And, unlike Anna and Vronsky, they sow maturity and patience, rather than discord. Anna is a very selfish woman, always prizing her own needs over everyone else’s. She chides Vronsky for any time he spends away from her, but not in the same way as Kitty. Anna uses every instance of quarrel as leverage against Count Vronsky, trying to guilt-trip him into sympathy. She sees him in shades of black and white, rather than gray: he is her greatest love, but also her greatest enemy. In the end, her despair takes hold of her and she takes her life just to revenge herself on him one last time. Anna thinks only of how things will affect herself, being scandalized. She does believe she has acted in error, but only considers the consequences of the act on her reputation, rather than anyone else’s. She uses it as excuse to bury herself deeper under self-loathing and self-pity. Vronsky is also a selfish person. His biggest struggle is between trying to choose to commit to one woman whose reputation he has already helped to soil and wanting to live in his decadent, womanizing ways. Levin is far from a womanizer, but he is once tempted by the lure of selfish, masculine independence when he gets a taste of the Moscow city life. The difference is, he chooses commitment over self-interest. He chooses it willing and happily, while Vronsky still clings to Anna out of obligation. Vronsky and Anna’s relationship is also one defined by excess and gratification. They travel the world, meeting artists and visiting exotic locations. When the throes of passion subside, they try to fill the void with opulence. Luxury abounds, from commissioning a painting of Anna from a famous artist, to lavish vacations and sumptuous feasts and parties. They try to make themselves fashionable to the upper rung of society, while Levin and Kitty are much more content to live a simple, pastoral life. Their romance is simply a show for the world, rather than an honest profession of love. It is a passion that kindles quickly and then clings desperately as its fire dies out. It is merely a trimming that hides its true nature. Because passion kindles so quick and selfishly it also dies quick and selfishly. There is no room for the growth that we see in Levin and Kitty’s relationship, even though both experience similar things. At one point Levin becomes jealous of Kitty’s attention towards another man and even starts to accuse her, much like Anna accuses Vronsky. Jealousy is never the sole indication of a bad relationship, but unchecked it can sow the seeds for one. However love is patient, rather than quick-spirited, with Levin and Kitty. They argue like any other couple, but are willing to mend their quarrels, rather than let them fester over time. The blemishes, present in any normal relationship, are front and center in Levin and Kitty’s marriage: they are not hidden beneath a tapestry. In their case it takes seeing over the faults of each other, rather than trying to romanticize them. Lastly, Kitty and Levin are given time to grow in themselves, before entering into a relationship. They learn the value of self-giving. Levin commits himself to his labor and Kitty commits herself to the service of others. Rather than causing a rift between them, this value of self-giving allows them to learn from each other. Kitty, though at times distraught by Levin’s commitment to his craft, comes to respect his integrity. Levin, though baffled at times by Kitty’s selfless attitude towards others, comes to adapt this to his own values. Tolstoy shows that the best loves are ones that can learn from experience. A husband is not “complete” in marriage without the values of his wife, and a wife is not complete without the values of her husband. Two competitors, such as Vronsky and Anna, will only divide a relationship, rather than compliment it. Love must not be swift and selfish; it must have a tender, patient hand. This does not and will never mean perfection, but it does imply a willingness to grow through challenges and obstacles. Levin and Kitty have a natural relationship, rather than one that is persistently dysfunctional. Anna and Vronsky have a doomed relationship because it is only predicated on passion. It is one of vanity that cannot grow into anything more. Passion is a temporary thing: without the underpinnings of care and commitment, it cannot stay afloat.
@@cosette2410 Well said. An intricate parable by a talented wordsmith. The struggle to find True Selfless Love marches on through incorporeal and noetic toil and yet all must bow with a humble spirit and a broken heart. Karenin, ".. the happiness of forgiveness has revealed to me my duty. I forgive completely"...mighty words demand mighty deeds. Therefore both heaven and earth must curse him. Levin's passion/love eventually arrives at Faith through the struggle of humbleness and by accepting one little miracle at a time. .."now he felt unhappy because she loved him too much!”... Vronsky's passion was only for himself; he fights so vehemently against both the ugliness of complacency and the beauty of faith, that only suicide can release him and Hades accept him. “I'm afraid I'm becoming ridiculous.” The common human desires of the indifferent aristocrats (even for millennia) tinker with the little rules (lies) of their polite society. Fittingly a big lie approaches. “I’d call on her if she’d only broken the law,” proclaims a countess, “but she broke the rules!" There is no individuality in such a handful of sins. Devotion is distinct in every way. “What a strange illusion it is to suppose that beauty is goodness.”..
the part (that comes later) during which they reunite with the alphabet cubes is so beautiful I've been looking for it everywhere, any chance someone knows where to find it ?
I don't understand all the complaints... why doesn't anybody like creativity anymore? Why on earth would you want to watch a movie that's exactly word for word the longest book known to man? I personally enjoyed the creative liberties that Joe Wright took. Is it the same as the book? No, but that doesn't mean it wasn't good or interesting. If you want something more true to the novel, go watch a different adaptation but if you want something interesting, unusual, creative... then you've found it. The use of the old theatre, the way he handled the set changes as though it were a play instead of a film, the expert blending of eras to help convey the romance and drama of the story... I'm sorry, I just don't understand whats not to like.
Bea Kweller I feel ya, I read the book very recently and still thoroughly enjoyed this movie especially since it’s still quite similar to its source material. People just want too much I guess
I liked the movie, but its not a fluffy love story. This movie is better than much of the dribble out there and by the looks of the comments, this film has attracted people to read the book, so that's great. To say it did not follow the book is true in many ways. I suppose the absolute problem is the depth of the book and precision of each character. I imagined it was a story about a similar Anna :-) and it was fine. “Anna Karenina” isn’t actually a love story. Its kind of a harrowing warning against the "cult of love" that polite society invents to insulate itself from the consequence and responsibility of deeper feelings...and then hypocritically cast stones at others to avoid or diminish personal scrutiny at every opportunity. Maybe a character study on Anna, following her closely, on the the roller coaster ride to destruction....the ridiculous desperate nature and absurd fleeting devotion of passion?
In this case, the book will always always always be better than the movie. The book is a masterpiece. It took me a while to like this version, but now I appreciate the interpretation.
I must say that this was my first Anna Karenina movie and I found it quite interesting, at least in the way they chose to show the story, as a theatre play. It is kinda boring tho, but since I loved so much Levin and Kitty plot I did some research, found out they have a bigger role in the book, and I read it. It is now one of my favourite books and I guess I can't hate this movie nor its Levin and Kitty, since they were the reason I ended up reading the book. That being said, I've watched almost every other adaptation after that and, as sad as it is, this is one of the few that actually portrait Levin and Kitty "properly", and I mean that most of the times they cut them even more, or they don't appear at all. The two adaptations I found the most loyal to the book were the russian version from 1967 and the BBC mini series from 1978, but they are long as fuck and haven't aged that well, so if you have to watch an AK movie and only have a couple of hours, this one is not thaaaat bad.
There is the 2013 miniseries ruclips.net/video/DREHZNONFKI/видео.html I still want a film that is only in Kitty and Levin that are central to the book, anna and vronsky being portrayed as secondary.
Yeah, the adaptations I've seen seem to miss the point of the Levin & Kitty side. The novel is called Anna Karenina so most (understandably) think the story is about her, but it's just as much about Levin. How the two are so alike, but the crucial differences in situation and thought; the differences that provide one happiness and destroy the other. The contrast of their lives & loves and the symmetry within them is crucial.
I love this lovely "Kitty" - Alicia Vikander - with her lovely, sweet Lolita-Face. A Swedish Lady in the full bloom of youth. - (By the way: She has got 2016 an OSKAR, when she was only 28 years old. - - KN-03/16-2021)
I don`t like the acting. I know that the film can not be a 100% like the book but this chapter is one of the most important.and i didin´t imagine like that. I love Levin, he is my favorite character in the book and the relashioship that he has with Kitty is so swett. I hope that the film can make him justice
At first I didn't like this clip, but I think it's growing on me. I still think Kitty is acting too ditzy, but I will watch the film before making a solid judgement.
WhhAt?! you mean Marlene McKinnon was interested in her best friend, James Potter, who somehow happened to be Russian officer and Bill Weasley went back in time aLL jUsT tO pErsUe hEr?! Such plot twist!!!!!!
I am happy that I read the book before seeing this trailer. This scene has nothing to do with the real story in the book. Of course, the movies are not comparable with the books but they should not affect the people's imagination wrongly. Of course, each human being see the world from different aspects and has unique imagination but for me Domhnall Gleeson is a wrong choice for being Levin. Levin is a big, strong man who is at the same time demode. Please read the book first before watching this movie. I have not seeing the all movie yet and only from this trailer I can say that it is so different.
you are right, it was the first thing I noted when I saw this clip (haven't watched the movie), him being like a buff guy being rejected for a more "civilized" Vronsky was kind of the whole point of the novel theme (proletarians vs bourgeoisie)
I'm sure this clip was edited a bit. Clips for films usually do that. From what I read and heard this scene plays out longer cause this is where we meet countess nordston and that guy who talks to Levin is introduced earlier.
Nessuno però si suicida nel romanzo solamente Anna Karenina la quale abbandona il figlio per l' AMOUR, VRONSKJ che nn fa nulla parte solo per la guerra Serbo /Turca ma nn penso gli succederà qualcosa, è fortunato, anche quando si è sparato nn è morto. Ricci T.
I wonder why people butcher such an epic story... really it was not that hard to direct some emotion into this scene... In the book you can see the follows: -restlessness, anger and sadness of Levin, -indecisiveness, confusion and sadness in Kitty -talkativeness, sociability, gentleness of Vronsky - Levin staying just to know Vronsky better even when he's just been rejected by kitty. Here, we all come across Levin's rational thinking which was stark opp. to that of Vronsky's
I couldn't agree more. This whole adaptation had some potential but it was not good. I saw the Russian adaptation, black and white, mini series, comes close to the book, but sadly I don't understand Russian very well, but the acting is really good.
Клип Clip „Dance Me To The End Of Love - Russell Sprout & Tracy H.“ real Satan's Ball in Petersberg near Königswinter в 1840 году. Это был первый бал Вики Чубарь (которая как Золушка опаздывает). Приглашение на Бал она получила потому, что ее удочерила Империатрица Катерина Сомова-Дракула-Романова, которая в черном платье потому, что двое ее мужей Смертью Храбрых погибли в в Российской войне против Черных Сил Сатаны, которая длилась 10 лет с 1820 по 1830 годы. Там же есть и ее двойники так, как она живая и не может плясать ночи напролет. Здесь же Империатрица Катерина Сомова-Дракула-Романова встречает своего сына Графа Волконского - Юру Сомова-Романова сына Жеки Сомова-Дракулы-Романова, Короля Русских Волков. У него тоже есть двойник. Отчетливо его можно увидеть в танце с Викой Чубарь и в профиль, когда он курит сигарету. Империатрица Катерина Сомова-Дракула-Романова приглашает на Бал также Юлю Плющ, которую она исцелила вследствие побоев родственников и поэтому Юля становится очень похожей на нее. Официальный муж Романовой Каренин как бы удочеряет ее, но на самом деле это был обман. У жидов, к сожалению, дети «обслуживают» сексуально «папаш». Там был эпизод, когда Вронский (Черноус) кладет своей дочери в рот колечко, которое она не должна вынимать его пока он не приедет обратно. Часто такие дети умирают. Самое ужасное, что сперму жидам закачивают и их вообще «могут отключить», то есть это тем особям совсем не нужно. Юля Плющ влюбляется в Графа Волконского - Юру Сомова-Романова, сына империатрицы с которым она была только раз ( клип «Do you love me»), так как в то время шабаши были то в одной стране, то в другой и Граф Волконский борется на стороне Правды и Добра. Шабаш-представление было в оперном театре в Бонне, где Конница Графа Волконского сталкивает поезд Смерти в реку Райн. Вследствие жидовских козней Граф Волконский с Лошадкой терпят крушение. Романова (та которая машет веером в клипе) исцеляет Лошадку и забирает Душу своего сына Юры. Конницу Графа Волконского спасает святая Рать. Клип «Keira Knightley’s Meltdown at the Horse Races». Сейчас в Бонне та этом месте построили Новый Оперный театр. Юлю (Анну Каренину) Вронский (Черноус) на заказ Каренина сманивает с собой в Киев, где он становится начальником еще одного поезда Смерти. В Киеве он насильно отдает ее в Дом терпимости. Принцесса Кетти Вика Чубарь договаривается о свадьбе с Леонидом Белым - Leon Beilmann на Балу в Petersberg (он сделал официальное предложение) , но в Киеве при игре получает отказ. В жидов Браки все равно по договоренности. Леонид просит Вронского разрешить женится на Юле, но главная причина потому, что он хочет породнится с императрицей и получает отказ. Впоследствии он все равно женится на своей соседке из Ржева Житомирской области. В конце фильма Юля отправляется с поездом смерти, который принадлежит как-бы Люциферу на Кубань. На самом деле Люцифера не существует. В клипе «Красавица и чудовище» его можно увидеть, но это, в реальности, карнавал. Костюм Люцифера носит и жестоко убивает людей для мяса, костей и Органов для трансплантологов Черт-жид-предатель Гриша Шварц из Жашкова. Черти насилуют палками просто как садисты. Это и есть гомосексуалисты. Императрица работала в госпитале медсестрой. В это время многие в Киеве имели работу и нормальные условия жизни. Ведь раньше Здесь была Цивилизация, а сейчас ее закат: не могут особи жрать себе подобных (кошерная еда). Музыку к Балу и фильму сочинила и исполняет Императрица Катерина Сомова-Романова вместе с немецким Оркестром из Кёльна в 1830 году. Клипы и фильм «Анна Каренина» были созданы в 1970 году в Москве из документальных кадров реальной жизни жителей Планеты Земли 1841-1845 годов на Планете Сатурн и планете Уран при помощи монтажа кадров студентами Московского Института кинематографии для поющей и сочиняющей девочки Галинки-Софии Романюк. Чувства девушек были искренними (в клипах вмонтированы кадры их мечтаний), но они становятся жертвой игры жидов, веря в сказку о счастливой семейной жизни, козней объявившихся родственников, и собственных против друг друга, умалчивания о сексуальных домогательствах. Часто в клипах для звучит вопрос : «Готовы ли они умереть ради любви?» У жидов жену разделывают после свадьбы и она уже «колбасница», которой можно управлять . Колесо Истории уже запущено и миллионы бойцов против Черных Сил Сатаны, которые погибли на Стороне Правды и Добра, к счастью, улетели Белыми Журавлями в январе этого года (есть свидетели). В будущем (через десять лет) на Планете Земля после ПОТОПА будут жить Человеки, на Планете Сатурн Русичи и Славичи, на Планете Уран Кельты, на Планете Плутон Франки, на Планете Нептун - Sinti и Roma. Душа Графа Вронского как и, может еще оставшиеся души, будет пущена на воду и найдет свое место. Все остальные «жители» Планеты Земля - прямо в АД - там уже не будет «договоренностей».
They are not princes or princesses in the sense of children of the tsar. It's the highest title of nobility below the emperor and existed in many countries. Unfortunately the official English translation of the title as "prince(ss)" is kinda misleading
I don't like the acting... they are behaving like children when it was the most difficult moment of Levin's life and Kitty is too happy here when she must be thrustrated by the incident.
What a plain dress she's wearing, it doesn't even look like a proper 1870s dress. All the women seriously need tighter corsets. Kitty's dresses in the 1997 adaptation were far more stunning.
AlphonsePride A little bit yes. But I just mean that despite the direction being beautiful and imaginative it just feels a bit dry it terms of actually projecting the story and characters.
AlphonsePride Yeah I know I recently finished the book and it was amazing. I guess it's just personal preference. I don't deny that the movie is very well made. I guess it's just no good for me.
+AlphonsePride Please explain why people like yourself get so pissed off than someone else doesn't like what you like. Does another person's opinion somehow make you feel like yours is invalidated?
This is like all women in their 20's......they realize too late that they want a good man, after they hit the wall and get pumped and dumped their whole lives.
In the book Kitty is scared because she knows whats comming and confused because she loves Levin but at the same time she is influenced by her mom that Vronsky is better choice. She has not rejected him first time that easely

There isn't a hint of kitty already loving Levin in the book
Oh my god! Her accent is so perfect! You wouldn't think! And then in Royal Affair she's so believable..Goodness she's talented. And what a beauty too
Which accent, the British one? This is a Russian story.. I don't see how that's relevant

Karenin, ".. the happiness of forgiveness has revealed to me my duty. I forgive completely"...mighty words demand mighty deeds. Therefore both heaven and earth must curse him.
Levin's passion/love eventually arrives at Faith through the struggle of humbleness and by accepting one little miracle at a time.
.."now he felt unhappy because she loved him too much!”...
Vronsky's passion was only for himself; he fights so vehemently against both the ugliness of complacency and the beauty of faith, that only suicide can release him and Hades accept him.
“I'm afraid I'm becoming ridiculous.”
The common human desires of the indifferent aristocrats (even for millennia) tinker with the little rules (lies) of their polite society. Fittingly a big lie approaches. “I’d call on her if she’d only broken the law,” proclaims a countess, “but she broke the rules!"
There is no individuality in such a handful of sins.
Devotion is distinct in every way.
“What a strange illusion it is to suppose that beauty is goodness.”..
agreed!! I'm reading the book now and I am thinking the same!
She rejects him again when she's a roboooooot
Seriously, read the book.
Her voice is beautiful.
I must say, this actor is the perfect choice for Levin!
Two future stars of Hollywood, especially Mr. Gleeson. Take a look at his exponential rise of filmography and you'll soon agree.
I recommend you to read the book first! :) ...Everything is so much detailed that you can actually feel the emotions of the characters!
One of my favorite scenes.
It is not! It's one of the most magical and magnificent movies I have ever seen. You need to see the whole film!
I'll marry you Domhnall... ahem... I mean Levin.
the part (that comes later) during which they reunite with the alphabet cubes is so beautiful I've been looking for it everywhere, any chance someone knows where to find it ?
I've found it in RUclips i think I'd called Levin and Kitty's love scene
Domhnall Gleeson character seems to get rejected in quite a few movies, like damn I'll have him then 👍
One of my favorite movies! I love this music!
Kitty is so sweet❤️
I don't understand all the complaints... why doesn't anybody like creativity anymore? Why on earth would you want to watch a movie that's exactly word for word the longest book known to man? I personally enjoyed the creative liberties that Joe Wright took. Is it the same as the book? No, but that doesn't mean it wasn't good or interesting. If you want something more true to the novel, go watch a different adaptation but if you want something interesting, unusual, creative... then you've found it. The use of the old theatre, the way he handled the set changes as though it were a play instead of a film, the expert blending of eras to help convey the romance and drama of the story... I'm sorry, I just don't understand whats not to like.
Bea Kweller I feel ya, I read the book very recently and still thoroughly enjoyed this movie especially since it’s still quite similar to its source material. People just want too much I guess
I liked the movie, but its not a fluffy love story. This movie is better than much of the dribble out there and by the looks of the comments, this film has attracted people to read the book, so that's great. To say it did not follow the book is true in many ways. I suppose the absolute problem is the depth of the book and precision of each character.
I imagined it was a story about a similar Anna :-) and it was fine.
“Anna Karenina” isn’t actually a love story. Its kind of a harrowing warning against the "cult of love" that polite society invents to insulate itself from the consequence and responsibility of deeper feelings...and then hypocritically cast stones at others to avoid or diminish personal scrutiny at every opportunity. Maybe a character study on Anna, following her closely, on the the roller coaster ride to destruction....the ridiculous desperate nature and absurd fleeting devotion of passion?
Agree 100%
In this case, the book will always always always be better than the movie. The book is a masterpiece. It took me a while to like this version, but now I appreciate the interpretation.
I must say that this was my first Anna Karenina movie and I found it quite interesting, at least in the way they chose to show the story, as a theatre play. It is kinda boring tho, but since I loved so much Levin and Kitty plot I did some research, found out they have a bigger role in the book, and I read it. It is now one of my favourite books and I guess I can't hate this movie nor its Levin and Kitty, since they were the reason I ended up reading the book.
That being said, I've watched almost every other adaptation after that and, as sad as it is, this is one of the few that actually portrait Levin and Kitty "properly", and I mean that most of the times they cut them even more, or they don't appear at all. The two adaptations I found the most loyal to the book were the russian version from 1967 and the BBC mini series from 1978, but they are long as fuck and haven't aged that well, so if you have to watch an AK movie and only have a couple of hours, this one is not thaaaat bad.
There is the 2013 miniseries
ruclips.net/video/DREHZNONFKI/видео.html
I still want a film that is only in Kitty and Levin that are central to the book, anna and vronsky being portrayed as secondary.
Yeah, the adaptations I've seen seem to miss the point of the Levin & Kitty side. The novel is called Anna Karenina so most (understandably) think the story is about her, but it's just as much about Levin. How the two are so alike, but the crucial differences in situation and thought; the differences that provide one happiness and destroy the other. The contrast of their lives & loves and the symmetry within them is crucial.
pity she turned out to be a robot...wait...wrong movie
Lol! She did very well as ava
Wonderful acting here by everyone
woah. I mean the novel described him as awkward, but looks like the film really emphasized it. lol. My poor baby Levin.
Friendzone Level: Over 9000
In the book Levin plays it cool. And "enjoy" the ball a little longer.
He dont enjoy it thanks to Nordstone
Poor Levin!
She is of the heavens by Dario Marianelli
I love this lovely "Kitty" - Alicia Vikander - with her lovely, sweet Lolita-Face. A Swedish Lady
in the full bloom of youth. - (By the way: She has got 2016 an OSKAR, when she was only
28 years old. - - KN-03/16-2021)
This is such an incredible betrayal of the novel. I'm so glad I haven't watched this film.
Don't. Stiva, Dolly and Kitty were the only ones portrayed properly.
Also, the costumes are inaccurate as hell for that time period :D
Who cares?
Xưa đọc truyện Anna Karenina , tôi thích nhất cảnh mô tả Levin trên cánh đồng lúa mì và tôi thích nhân vật Levin 👍
I love her raspy voice
Beautiful!
Pretty sure his name is pronounced kon-STANT-tin in addition to the rest of the complaints listed lol
Maybe his name was Levin Konstantin i guess
@@nominbatbayar Levin is his LAST NAME
I don`t like the acting. I know that the film can not be a 100% like the book but this chapter is one of the most important.and i didin´t imagine like that. I love Levin, he is my favorite character in the book and the relashioship that he has with Kitty is so swett. I hope that the film can make him justice
At first I didn't like this clip, but I think it's growing on me. I still think Kitty is acting too ditzy, but I will watch the film before making a solid judgement.
WhhAt?! you mean Marlene McKinnon was interested in her best friend, James Potter, who somehow happened to be Russian officer and Bill Weasley went back in time aLL jUsT tO pErsUe hEr?! Such plot twist!!!!!!
Love this movie♥️
I am happy that I read the book before seeing this trailer. This scene has nothing to do with the real story in the book. Of course, the movies are not comparable with the books but they should not affect the people's imagination wrongly. Of course, each human being see the world from different aspects and has unique imagination but for me Domhnall Gleeson is a wrong choice for being Levin. Levin is a big, strong man who is at the same time demode. Please read the book first before watching this movie. I have not seeing the all movie yet and only from this trailer I can say that it is so different.
you are right, it was the first thing I noted when I saw this clip (haven't watched the movie), him being like a buff guy being rejected for a more "civilized" Vronsky was kind of the whole point of the novel theme (proletarians vs bourgeoisie)
zihnimdeki kiti ve kevin çok daha başkaydı, filmdeki hallerini görünce çok şaşırdım.
Ex Machina references anybody?
this movie is pure hubris
These two are in every damn thing nowadays lol.
I'm sure this clip was edited a bit. Clips for films usually do that. From what I read and heard this scene plays out longer cause this is where we meet countess nordston and that guy who talks to Levin is introduced earlier.
Nessuno però si suicida nel romanzo solamente Anna Karenina la quale abbandona il figlio per l' AMOUR, VRONSKJ che nn fa nulla parte solo per la guerra Serbo /Turca ma nn penso gli succederà qualcosa, è fortunato, anche quando si è sparato nn è morto. Ricci T.
I wonder why people butcher such an epic story... really it was not that hard to direct some emotion into this scene... In the book you can see the follows:
-restlessness, anger and sadness of Levin,
-indecisiveness, confusion and sadness in Kitty
-talkativeness, sociability, gentleness of Vronsky
- Levin staying just to know Vronsky better even when he's just been rejected by kitty. Here, we all come across Levin's rational thinking which was stark opp. to that of Vronsky's
I couldn't agree more. This whole adaptation had some potential but it was not good. I saw the Russian adaptation, black and white, mini series, comes close to the book, but sadly I don't understand Russian very well, but the acting is really good.
VRRRROOONNNSKYYYYYY
one word
D I S A P P O I N T E D
Клип Clip „Dance Me To The End Of Love - Russell Sprout & Tracy H.“ real Satan's Ball in Petersberg near Königswinter в 1840 году. Это был первый бал Вики Чубарь (которая как Золушка опаздывает). Приглашение на Бал она получила потому, что ее удочерила Империатрица Катерина Сомова-Дракула-Романова, которая в черном платье потому, что двое ее мужей Смертью Храбрых погибли в в Российской войне против Черных Сил Сатаны, которая длилась 10 лет с 1820 по 1830 годы. Там же есть и ее двойники так, как она живая и не может плясать ночи напролет. Здесь же Империатрица Катерина Сомова-Дракула-Романова встречает своего сына Графа Волконского - Юру Сомова-Романова сына Жеки Сомова-Дракулы-Романова, Короля Русских Волков. У него тоже есть двойник. Отчетливо его можно увидеть в танце с Викой Чубарь и в профиль, когда он курит сигарету.
Империатрица Катерина Сомова-Дракула-Романова приглашает на Бал также Юлю Плющ, которую она исцелила вследствие побоев родственников и поэтому Юля становится очень похожей на нее. Официальный муж Романовой Каренин как бы удочеряет ее, но на самом деле это был обман. У жидов, к сожалению, дети «обслуживают» сексуально «папаш». Там был эпизод, когда Вронский (Черноус) кладет своей дочери в рот колечко, которое она не должна вынимать его пока он не приедет обратно. Часто такие дети умирают. Самое ужасное, что сперму жидам закачивают и их вообще «могут отключить», то есть это тем особям совсем не нужно. Юля Плющ влюбляется в Графа Волконского - Юру Сомова-Романова, сына империатрицы с которым она была только раз ( клип «Do you love me»), так как в то время шабаши были то в одной стране, то в другой и Граф Волконский борется на стороне Правды и Добра. Шабаш-представление было в оперном театре в Бонне, где Конница Графа Волконского сталкивает поезд Смерти в реку Райн. Вследствие жидовских козней Граф Волконский с Лошадкой терпят крушение. Романова (та которая машет веером в клипе) исцеляет Лошадку и забирает Душу своего сына Юры. Конницу Графа Волконского спасает святая Рать. Клип «Keira Knightley’s Meltdown at the Horse Races». Сейчас в Бонне та этом месте построили Новый Оперный театр. Юлю (Анну Каренину) Вронский (Черноус) на заказ Каренина сманивает с собой в Киев, где он становится начальником еще одного поезда Смерти. В Киеве он насильно отдает ее в Дом терпимости. Принцесса Кетти Вика Чубарь договаривается о свадьбе с Леонидом Белым - Leon Beilmann на Балу в Petersberg (он сделал официальное предложение) , но в Киеве при игре получает отказ. В жидов Браки все равно по договоренности. Леонид просит Вронского разрешить женится на Юле, но главная причина потому, что он хочет породнится с императрицей и получает отказ. Впоследствии он все равно женится на своей соседке из Ржева Житомирской области. В конце фильма Юля отправляется с поездом смерти, который принадлежит как-бы Люциферу на Кубань. На самом деле Люцифера не существует. В клипе «Красавица и чудовище» его можно увидеть, но это, в реальности, карнавал. Костюм Люцифера носит и жестоко убивает людей для мяса, костей и Органов для трансплантологов Черт-жид-предатель Гриша Шварц из Жашкова. Черти насилуют палками просто как садисты. Это и есть гомосексуалисты. Императрица работала в госпитале медсестрой. В это время многие в Киеве имели работу и нормальные условия жизни. Ведь раньше Здесь была Цивилизация, а сейчас ее закат: не могут особи жрать себе подобных (кошерная еда).
Музыку к Балу и фильму сочинила и исполняет Императрица Катерина Сомова-Романова вместе с немецким Оркестром из Кёльна в 1830 году. Клипы и фильм «Анна Каренина» были созданы в 1970 году в Москве из документальных кадров реальной жизни жителей Планеты Земли 1841-1845 годов на Планете Сатурн и планете Уран при помощи монтажа кадров студентами Московского Института кинематографии для поющей и сочиняющей девочки Галинки-Софии Романюк. Чувства девушек были искренними (в клипах вмонтированы кадры их мечтаний), но они становятся жертвой игры жидов, веря в сказку о счастливой семейной жизни, козней объявившихся родственников, и собственных против друг друга, умалчивания о сексуальных домогательствах. Часто в клипах для звучит вопрос : «Готовы ли они умереть ради любви?» У жидов жену разделывают после свадьбы и она уже «колбасница», которой можно управлять . Колесо Истории уже запущено и миллионы бойцов против Черных Сил Сатаны, которые погибли на Стороне Правды и Добра, к счастью, улетели Белыми Журавлями в январе этого года (есть свидетели). В будущем (через десять лет) на Планете Земля после ПОТОПА будут жить Человеки, на Планете Сатурн Русичи и Славичи, на Планете Уран Кельты, на Планете Плутон Франки, на Планете Нептун - Sinti и Roma. Душа Графа Вронского как и, может еще оставшиеся души, будет пущена на воду и найдет свое место. Все остальные «жители» Планеты Земля - прямо в АД - там уже не будет «договоренностей».
Hehe bill Weasley got friendzoned
I like Levin
Shot down...
Someone else said it: Bill Weasley & Marlene McKinnon
What song Is Start playing at 1:30 min?
Ship Ship Ship 💃💃
This is not Anna Karenina. This is hollywood drama.
well said.. just add 'shitty' to it.. makes even more sense
Who's the guy at 2:05?
where's Bill skarsgard??
Disgusting to destroy a masterpiece like this
A bit overboard on leos tale/words
..that is not the Kitty I read about lol
@@victronin The "books?" There's only one book...and I did get it (oxford edition...hardcover lol)
@@victronin lol first off I'm a Christian
2) I "got" Kiity character perfectly (the movie failed to capture the character in book 👍)
@@victronin lol maybe it is a good movie. I'd have to watch it again. I will say that it could have been a lot worse
Шутки в сторону - Читать книгу.
How come there were a lot of princesses were there???? 😑😑😑😑😑
They aren't actually princesses, they have different titles in Russian, but I guess this was the best translating solution
@@Maria-em9hi I see becsuse from what i know The princesses in the movie are Kitty, Betsy, and Sorokina
They are not princes or princesses in the sense of children of the tsar. It's the highest title of nobility below the emperor and existed in many countries. Unfortunately the official English translation of the title as "prince(ss)" is kinda misleading
mi prenos vin kun mi
I don't like the acting... they are behaving like children when it was the most difficult moment of Levin's life and Kitty is too happy here when she must be thrustrated by the incident.
This movie looks really dorky.
fail
What a plain dress she's wearing, it doesn't even look like a proper 1870s dress. All the women seriously need tighter corsets. Kitty's dresses in the 1997 adaptation were far more stunning.
This movie is set on a stage and takes creative license. It really is not meant to be a strict period piece.
Oh my God!!.. Go to the museum if you want to watch real history
Didn't like this actor for Levin, I immagined him differently
Jajjajajajaa
this movie is no good
AlphonsePride A little bit yes. But I just mean that despite the direction being beautiful and imaginative it just feels a bit dry it terms of actually projecting the story and characters.
AlphonsePride Yeah I know I recently finished the book and it was amazing. I guess it's just personal preference. I don't deny that the movie is very well made. I guess it's just no good for me.
AlphonsePride yeah the sound track was good, it fit the style well
+AlphonsePride Please explain why people like yourself get so pissed off than someone else doesn't like what you like. Does another person's opinion somehow make you feel like yours is invalidated?
AlphonsePride Sweety...that thing is so tiny, only a grasshopper could hop on or off it.
Acting is so stilted
el que hace de wrosky es horrible.... osea kostia es un churro ....
really bad acting
Good that they redeemed themselves with Ex-Machina, this movie sucked.
This is like all women in their 20's......they realize too late that they want a good man, after they hit the wall and get pumped and dumped their whole lives.
