This episode has always been pretty hard for me to endure because the stepmother and sister characters are so repulsive and despicable. That being said, I love the bear headed guy.
You know, I have to say, if I were stoned out of my mind I think this movie would be enjoyable even without the commentary. But, I would HAVE to be stoned.
that's why I hate weed-it makes people laugh at stupid things. Alcohol on the other hand only intensifies a persons love or hatred for something! sux tho cuz stoners always get away with being high in class but it's way to hard to cover up being drunk. ( or at least if you drank the amount it would take for me to actuallybe drunk.) and even if I was I would probably just hate the class even more instead of giggling at it.
@trapadoored Not just laugh, I actually thing this movie's an interesting presentation of the tales it's relaying. And booze has it's own downsides, trust me. Both short- and long-term, just like weed.
in the long-term it's a catch 22-like a choice between shooting yourself in the head or the chest. -actually weed has never done anything for me whatsoever-but I associate it with hippies so I have a Mike Nelson-like hatred of it. ( his essay about his "life long aversion to marijuana" is in "mind over matters") as 4 the movie-I would probably watch it drunk. But hell, I owned most the movies on the show before I even got into the show. I prefer the monster movies to this kind tho.
You know, this movie is stupid, but I think it has a certain charm about it. Evon's inability to understand how to do a good deed makes him kind of loveable in a way, endearing in his foolishness, it's stupid, but a nice kind of stupid.
In my opinion, I could stand watching this without the MST3K commentary if you think about it its not really as bad as some of the other movies they riff on this show.
Okay, the question about the braid in Russian culture has been pretty much answered. Now: what's up with the emphasis on eyebrows? Ugly Stepsister made Ugly Stepmother white out Nanstenka's eyebrows, while hers seem to have been darkened.
Man, this movie just emphasizes how much fairytales flat-out do not make sense.
What a loser. He's was like, "teach me Captain Shroom," or whatever, "teach me to be reasonable" but then he goes and stops listening ten seconds later, and runs off after completely forgeting everything he just begged for.
Seems like asking flowers for advice isn't a good idea, since they can only answer with either "yes" or "no."
That kid picked a REALLY dumb place to do his begging. It's the middle of a forest, how many passers-by is he going to meet? Remember, kids, when it comes to panhandling, location is important!
According to my book Symbols and Signs, braided hair in Russia was symbolic of a woman's status in life. Only her husband was allowed to see her unbraided and her hair down. So, I'm guessing in cutting Nastenka's (sp?) it would have made her unmarriagable.
i love the scene with the beggar kid. i've watched it so many times and still don't know what's going on. what was the kid doing begging in the middle of the woods? was he pretending to be blind and crippled? if so, why wasn't he begging somewhere with more people? i'm guessing the filmmakers just forgot that he was supposed to be blind and crippled, but i have no idea. love love love it.
Well, he is panhandling and faking being blind and crippled. so the joke is he sees Ivan (even though he is pretending to we blind) and is scared and runs off with prefectly fine legs. Why is he begging in the middle of freakin' NOWHERE? I have no idea...
@MagicalTrumpy It looks like he is panhandling along a path so its not too different from seeing panhandlers/hitchhikers located on an interchange on the outskirts of larger cities here in the states.

I *think* it is symbolic of maidenhood but I might be mistaken. It could just be standard for young women.
And I know Vasalisa from the Russian fairy tales is drawn like that and Nasika probably was based off of her.
