First, a bonus for being shot much earlier than the last Russian film. Secondly, for the scale: it is clear that a crowd of not a few dozen people fled, but still a decent one. But it is not customary that both Germans and Jews and Russians speak only English. Maybe that's not so touching and it's harder to feel what they've been through.

But it is not customary that both Germans and Jews and Russians speak only English. Maybe that's not so touching and it's harder to feel what they've been through. Or maybe because it was more American: businessily grabbing the stairs, several people run to the music of Charlie Chaplin’s film to climb through barbed wire; to build run like athletes; when you try to escape, it feels like a long circle ran... the Russian film is somehow closer in mentality. And about being too heroic... we are all heroes in our own way. Even now.
