Nabokov says, in his essay on Dead Souls, that only a fool would want to read the novel to learn about Russian countryside or life in nineteenth century provincial Russia.

Nabokov always attacked interviewers when they used words like "reality". He would ask, "whose reality?".

I think movies are made for entertainment and there is no standardisation to be given to any movie making. However a good movie made for entertainment (the prime object) with cultural values of a country or a community makes it an outstanding movie. He is refering to the making of an `outstanding movie'...!!
