  • This scene is quite inaccurate historically in regards to pre-war political conditions in Russia. By this time Austria was looking for any excuse to crush Serbia to expand the Austrian empire's power and stop pan-slavism in the Balkans. The Tsar knew all of this. It wasn't like the war was a surprise, it had been coming for years (see Balkan war I+II)

  • Nicholas did not deserve to die, no human being 'deserves' to die. He was a Tsar, but he was also a human, who was loved by his wife and children, whom he loved in return. We should remember that as well.

  • @UsagiDreams I agree partially. He did not deserve to die, yes, but his actions were still unsound. Yet, I agree that the murder of his wife and children was inexcusable; no matter what the results may have been, infantcide is not justifiable.

  • @amatoanima Could portray king George of the UK as well. He and the tsar were very similar in facial appearances.

  • @UsagiDreams I totally agree! No royal person should ever be executed by their own people. I'm not a royalist! but it makes me sad that people could become so consumed with hatred and be brainwashed to carry out the murder of a royal family. Instead they should have exiled them, or do what the chinese did to their emperor, Allow him to remain but as a citizen and a gardener that he was fond of. Whatever the Bolsheviks said about the tsar, he was and is their rightful ruler.

  • its just a movie, not everything has to be accurate....just fuckin enjoy the movie

  • @Lefty001 NERD!! HAHA!! Just kidding!! XD

  • @douglasmatley

    You should watch the Russian movie "Agony" here on youtube. Best, most realistic portrayal of Rasputin. The whole movie itself is a wonderful example of the rich Russian cinema.

  • @VendettaKissXx yesssssssssssssssssssss!

    

  • Oh... those Russians!

  • Alan Rickman would make a brilliant dracula/vampire in general, especially with this accent

  • Hey Alan Rickman A similar suit in Harry Potter. haha
