Talk:Everything Is Illuminated (film)

Suicide

The article states that the Grandfather does not kill himself, but I'm pretty sure it's implied that he does in the book, though it is not explicitly stated. I don't have my copy of the novel right now, but if someone could look it up that'd be great, I believe it's in the final letter section of the book, just before the final historical story but I could be wrong.

Although the film is set in the Ukraine, all non-English dialogue is in Russian rather than Ukrainian

Not exactly true—when the main characters are driving in the countryside they stop a couple of times to ask for directions in Russian, and the locals respond in Ukrainian. These moments are lost for anglophones reading the subtitles, but precious for one who can make out the language. —Michael Z. 2006-01-21 09:39 Z

Indeed. I noticed that and changed it. Also, the peasant woman at the end speaks Russian with a Ukranian accent, so one can assume that her primary language is Ukranian and there is no inconsistency. -Alex

Few actors have promoted a film with more elegance and grace. (For a transcript of this interview press here).

Someone's been cut-and-pasting the trivia section methinks.

I'm gutting this article. Please properly cite the source of any new additions. —Michael Z. 2006-10-06 18:42 Z

Sorry, grandfather informs me this not possible. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.170.133.79 (talk) 14:04, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
