Taras Bulba - army gathering. The Ride to Dubno

[zenjr1004]

They seem to like paparazzis very much!!!

had to be argentinians. :)

nice scene and great song.

[RGN07]

Its all about the music. That hush slow tempo in the beginning and gathering as with the riders. Beautiful.

[nauskas]

BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL damn Americans, they know how to kick ass

[LadyVioleta1]

These scenes were filmed in Argentina. The extras are Argentine gauchos (horsemen exelentes these men in my country) they have much in common with the Mongols. The steppe and pampas are vast spaces, voids, where the man feels tiny. Landscapes created such kindred spirits. A director rightly choose Argentina to film this.

Long live Rzeczpospolita

[dellotti]

Argentina stands in for Ukraine LOL

Wonders what ukranians thinks about that.... nowdays

One of the great scores from legendary composer Franz Waxman.

[kabud]

@dellotti This book is very powerful spiritual text. It effects through its cultural presense Ukrainians in a big deal. I can tell: all the architypes in this story are genuine Ukrainian stuff.

For some strange reason this adaptation also has powers: actors look like my old friends from Kyiv and situations are like exactly it was in real life, I mean besides the sword fights of course, but the feeling is real life feeling.

Bokk has 9 screen adaptations+there is a book based on screen play

[nauskas]

@dellotti Argentina actualy it's kind of unbelivable, until 1991 we had no idea ther were Ukrainians anywere beyond borders of fucking USSR. Argentina is Superb. Maradona is the best!!!! And thank you very much for your amazing landskapes.

[oncearoundthesun]

Talk about a cast of thousands.

[twinky666666]

[3942robert]

szli po bandzie nasze kozaki

[HumanitarianEclectic]

Sirring stuff. Actually filmed in Argentina using gaucho cowboys as Ukrainian Cossacks. Yul Brynner had high hopes for this film, but despite some memorable scenes and music, the final version was a big disappontment for him. For the Ukrainian diaspora, this loose interpretation of Gogol's epic story was nevertheless a boon to the sense of national spirit and pride.

[Whistlejocket]

It Makes me want to go ride with them and kill some Poles.

[gammabeam235]

oh to be alive and be a cossack in those days . Definitely a must visit timeline on my time machine (;--) . Zaporoshtchi dudes were bad-ass warriors . this is the soundtrack i've been searching for a long time . You can download this track with the free RealPlayer .

[colonelsun68]
