Crime and Punishment - John Simm

[Rk01k]

The book is a marterpiece. I'll watch the movie anyways.

[kaizoisevil]

Shit...It's Palpatine!

[DarthMessias]

Don't worry. Palpatine will save your ass!

[Philip7R]

WTF English? O_O I'm reading the book at the moment, gonna watch movie after!

[infazahmet]

i have finished the book indeed :D

[pavlovich53]

Doubt I'll watch this. The book is already so fucking good

[infazahmet]

Today I am currently on the 286th page :D hope to finish the book by next month :D

Бляяяяяяя... Обычно выражаюсь цензурно, но это ж пиздец просто...

[Fragem420]

great film adaption to a great book

[freiheitsalv]

john simm is raskolnikov? OMG I GOTTA watch this..... totally!!!!!!!

[leedonaldt]

the master!!

[favorhousepacific]

Raskolnikov looks like Thom Yorke

[PoppyRooney]

Hahah Rodion...I love him. The book is very interesting even nowadays. I've always thought-How can a killer impress me so much? I havent got an answer yet.

[Sagittarius201]

@PoppyRooney Same here. Sometimes i think there's something wrong with me. ;)

[PoppyRooney]

@Sagittarius201 Ah you made me calm down that I'm not the only one :)) Yes,it has a very strange affection.

[arcnoria]

russians with sharp english accent

[Scarlett1897]

This is the best book I've ever read. Raskolnikov is my myth.But I won't follow his example.

[KOL1402]

Loved the book, I feel like the movie played too much on the ubermensch theory though, I didn't really see that concept while reading the book

[OmarAlQaseer]

I'm in a Raskolnikov-y mood. It sucks.

[missmuggledetector]

Where can I watch this online? And what year was this one made?

[Schwanheld]

OH MY GOODNESS. We're reading this in school now, AND NOW I KNOW HOW TO STUDY!

[TheRealJohnSkinny]

@Schwanheld Key Facts: The book is about the moral issues Raskolnikov AND the Russian society are dealing with (were.. back then). Always remember to read the book on a different level. Don't stick just to words. Be open to metaphors and allusions to man's soul, political and ideological positions, the changes in moral values that were brought up after the industrial revolutions that led up to capitalism, etc.

[whitesuit123]

This looks nothing like Roskalnikov

[MisSolitaryPoet]

@whitesuit123 How do you imagine Raskolnikov? Just asking. I am interested.

[whitesuit123]

@MisSolitaryPoet How Dostoevsky described him pg 2

"he was, by the way, exceptionally handsome, above the average height, slim, well-built, with beautiful dark eyes and dark brown hair. Im not gay and dont judge dudes but cmon.

[MisSolitaryPoet]

@whitesuit123 hahahah! I know how Dostoevsky described him, but I thought maybe you could suggest some actor as the best example to play Raskolnikov's character. Honestly, for me there is none, and Raskolnikov stays just as he is in my mind, as I created his look reading the book...Sorry...Never mind...That was stupid question :)

[Kilmer5]

@whitesuit123

I think Simm embodies Rodya perfectly.

[PetitGrisMoineau]

According to Dostoevsky,Raskolnikov "was, by the way, exceptionally handsome, above the average in height, slim, well-built, with beautiful dark eyes and dark brown hair..."Ehh?

[Simpuramafampark]

@PetitGrisMoineau

Sounds about right.

[malirsal]

WHERE CAN I SEE THIS MOVIE! ?? OMG

[seemsvery]

0:41

How on earth did they get Thom Yorke to play Raskolnikov? :)

[UndreamingSoul]

I am actually russian. I've read this novel two years ago, I love british accent, and I apsolutely adored John Simm I HAVE to see this movie!!!)))))))))))))))

[nahhann]

Anyone knows where this movie can be downloaded? I've read this novel and it impressed me in a way i couldn't imagine and i want to see if the movie have atleast a bit of the ,,aura" that Dostoevski gave to this novel.

[TheLastSliceOfPie]

I AM GOD

[phoenixsprite]

I remember seeing this movie randomly when I was younger on TV.

[Ehmiy321]

Hehehe, what is the rating of this movie? Surely it can't be "rated R"!? I love the book, and this movie looks quite interesting....

[AwesomeWillie]

ahhhh i love russians with british accents!

[AlbanZap]

let us crush this fine thing, daarkkkk laughter.

[mrsotter19]

What's wrong with the sound?

[mariiisp]

i want to see this movie because the book is my favorite

[theinquisitivedonkey]

hmmm. Menaham Golem did a better job.

[MisSolitaryPoet]

@theinquisitivedonkey You are wrong, donkey. Menahem Golan did a crap! Biggest crap ever! Take a look at the scene of crime. Nothing like that happened in the book! Every smart one who read the book will agree with me. One more thing: a Phillips box in 19th century, and in Russia?! You must be kidding me! I hate Menahem Golan and Dick Wolf!

[wjv93]

man i read the book and is just great!! i need to see this movie!!! can anyone tell me where i can get it not the old movie, this one!!

[LilyCh23]

A few people who played in Doctor Who are in this movie - awesome. Love Doctor Who and Crime and Punishment.

[tinofpop90]

Tolstoy? You are a monkey.

[Jaslichno]

The book is actually written by F. Dostoyevski XD

[marrieter08]

tolstoy is amazing

[MisSolitaryPoet]

@marrieter08 Tolstoy is amazing... but you are amazingly stupid!

[pielord3]

GOOD BOOK

[tinofpop90]

I'm on chapter six and loving it. I feel I have understood the many philisophical and idealogical metaphores and what not without having to read it in Russian, though I wish I spoke Russian, I wana go to st petersberg and drink Vodka!

[Nekronn]

me too brother

[sghegham]

does anybody know where to get this movie?

[luckysilviano]

I remember that in the book Profiri was actually young 35 even though he spoke of himself as an old man .

[MisSolitaryPoet]

@luckysilviano That is exactly what I was thinking about, too! Porfirij was 35 years old... :\

[aibek]

This is so unnatural....the tone of their language...everything...This is not the crime and punishment i have read or expected to see...its much better performed by russians, read in russian and understood in russian way. Then it will all make sense.....

[fullplastic]

Agreed.

[srinivaskari]

@aibek amen........this is nothing like what I had in mind. After reading the book you form a perception of how the characters would look like and behave and you expect to see iton film. However, like most books made into movies, the result is very diff and the movie is nothing compared to the book in terms of richness of detail. I guess nothing is a substitute for an individual mind. Most movies ruin the experience for book readers since they would have formed a completely diff mental picture.

[MisSolitaryPoet]

@aibek You are so right! It is the best in Russian way! Russian language, actors, places (in this case St.Petersburg),etc. I also do not like when strangers (Brits,Americans, or others) act Russian things, or anyone else's things. One Brit cannot play some Russian character, because he does not know Russian history, or life standards and happenings in those times, precisely 19th century, and cannot understand Russian spirit, because he does not have it. I am not Russian, but still am Slav :)

[miss0monica]

does anybody know a link where i could download or at least watch that film? tnx

[Darkstorms15]

if you havent read the book. read it before you see the movie.

[miss0monica]

i do have read it :)

[Jitpring]

Simply by watching this clip I can see that this is a bastardized version of the book. I can see through nonsense very quickly. For example, in addition to this, I saw through that idiotic movie Little Miss Sunshine within the first two minutes. One must cultivate his diagnostic eye like this.

[magicgreig]

how random! what has Little Miss Sunshine got to do with crime and punishment?

[easudol]

Is there anyway that I could have this file emailed to me. I want to embed it in a powerpoint presentation that I am showing to my class. I think it would act as a nice hook. I have already followed the "how to embed in powerpoint" video and it is not working.

Thanks.

[037016]

Is it possible to see the whole movie? this version certainly IS up to the original story- the actor is GREAT!!thanks for uploading

[Ganondorfpwnz]

Is Petrovich's actor the guy who played Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars? He has to be.

[cvvemuri]

Yes he is

Ian McDiarmid.

Accomplished stage actor as well.

[themusicchap]

@Ganondorfpwnz Yeah it is. I was wondering where I'd seen him before.

[crRrRikey]

do you have the rest parts of the film?

[TheBearCop]

This adaptation is one of the better ones I have seen although IMO they left out some nice aspects that provided nice closure for some of the characters such as:

*SPOILERS*

Luzhin's exposure through his framing of Sonya.

Svidrigailov's dream before his suicide.

The death of Pulkheria Alexandrovna.

Razumikhin's marriage to Dunya.

*END SPOILERS*

As with all movie adaptations, I wouldn't recommended it INSTEAD of the novel, but if you are a fan of the book, then this film is a nice watch!

[1SHAZ1]

I have to say, this show looks very good. I'll have to try and watch it some time. Thanks for posting.

[TomMonty81]

New contemporary version of notes from the underground on youtube for free: v=SBmdCFS2cOg

Find all parts via my channel...

[Petunia101]

is that they guy who was in hot fuzz????

[Petunia101]

scratch that. i found out its not.

[allmydeadcats]

Oh man, where can I find this? This is one of my favourite books, and while I've seen a Russian version, I would like to see what the BBC did.

[rosiejolly]

I LOVE JOHN SIMM so good. (:

[Araskog]

I like the Rusian version, posted here on youtube, way better, that one really had the scenarios and characteristics on the characters planted by Dostoyevski.

[spectralrealm]

ditto. The Russian versoin is the best. Raskolnikov is perfect in it. I have the movie..i got it on dvd..maybe if i figure out how to post on youtube..i will add more clips. ^^ But this one is good. I like how they talk about the extraordinary man..pretty dramatic.

[MisSolitaryPoet]

@spectralrealm So, did you post it on youtube already?

[Araskog]

LOL, it seems like a decent movie, did anyone else noticed that Rodion looks like Thom Yorke from Radiohead?

[dreamyjess]

is it bad that i laughed when he cracked that lady over the head?

[TheRealMizz]

No coz I did too!

[halep09]

many people laugh as a reaction to death. in this context, laughter can be seen as a sudden release of emotion.

[chiokjiro]

best adaption of the novel for me

[jimsanya]

weird, this movie is. its based on a russian book but its in english. really strange.

[marys2020]

How can we see this? I love John Simm and this looks really good. Would love to be able to actually watch the film.

[winklejd]

Thanks for uploading this; why on Earth is this not available on DVD??

[hedgewytch]

Dunno

did you sign the petition?

on the government website x

[thwaxer]

For some reason the BBC released it in Holland (in English with subtitles). Try ebay or Amazon. I'd been looking for this DVD for years. It's the moodiest, most atmospheric drama there is, helped I think by John Simm being hunted down by the Emperor from Star Wars
