To tell the truth, I would like to say that I love Sergei Bodrov! I think he WAS a great actor and a wonderful man!!! And, of course, "Brother" and "Brother 2" are films, which I can watch many-many times!!!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with Julia, Bodrov is the typical Russian - this illusion is made by his works. The films with his participation are still on the top of the list nowadays. His play combines different characteristics such as kindness, charisma and appealingness. His phrasese become bestsellers of the quatation vocabulary.
