The best part wasn't even a scene in the movie itself. It was watching the entire film believing it was based on a true story, thinking "Holy crap, I can't believe this really happened!" only later to be told you've been had. Epic.
Cried like a baby. Totally tragic film. A good hug afterward is the best medicine. Soundtrack is solid as well.
I love a good conspiracy theory ... and soul-sucking mummies ... and Bruce Campbell.
Top 5, easily.
Despite the fact that the film is completely unrealistic, it is a beautiful slice of cinema and Chukhrai did an amazing job given his restraints. Alyosha is noble in his naivety and his journey back to his mother is a study in morals and principle. When watching this film, crying is a definite possibility.
