The Irony of Fate Part II
My thoughts on the rest of this movie are mixed I did like the movie but it was very long. I felt like they could have shortened it up and they kind of beat aroumd the bush for awhile. The main idea of the movie i found very intriguing how spontaniety can save peoples lives. I agree that sometimes people can become brainwashed in every day activity and people sometimes need to look back and reflect on their lives and find true happiness. I do feel bad for Ippolit who gets completely screwed over by the whole situation. But I think that Ippolit symbolizes Russian Society and the idea of Nadya being safe and secure with him but she discovers that she will not be happy with him. This movie sends the message that if you are happy with someone no matter how unusual the situation of meeting them or how far apart you live that it will work out. I agree with this message because if we aren't happy then when will look back on our lives someday will we be satisfied with what we have done?

I know what you mean about the length and how in many ways it can seem like it could have been shortened. But let me try and make this defense--the length helps build up the illusion that we really are with them for an entire night (and it is pretty remarkable how we really do seem to spend the entire time with them from about 10 pm New Years Eve till sometime early the next morning (after the sun has risen)).
