The Star Child - Сказка о Звездном Мальчике

From the old soviet children's film archives comes (thanks to my wife's Belarus connexions) this jewel based on a story by Oscar Wilde - the Star Child who drove away his mother, and then came to realise the enormity of what he had done.

This is the whole film, in two parts of roughly equal length.

Happy Russian Christmas! С Рождеством!

It would be wonderful if a few bi-lingual people would create some English subtitles as there are many English speakers who love Russian cinema and television but equally I appreciate the hard work and long hours it takes to transcribe an entire film. There is an experimental YT function that automatically translates the dialogue but I have no idea how it would handle Russian..anyway I will keep my fingers crossed the subtitle fairies sprinkle their magic over this rarity! great share anyway!

@jackamo23 Well, like I say, if someone wants to make captions for this I'll open up the captions for a reputable youtuber who wants to do it.

@usenetposts - It's catch-22 isn't it. There are probably lots of Russian-English speakers who would enjoy translating Russian films into English and then get some feedback on grammar and syntax from a fluent English speaker but it's finding them! I have a whole folder of Russian fantasy and sci-fi films from the Soviet era but no subtitles. Its a shame as the Universal Subtitles org tool makes it easy for multiple people to translate, you just embed the YT video and offer the URL!

@jackamo23 You know, there are ways of adding captions and titles to YT videos after they are up. If anyone is interested the link to the page that shows how to write such a file is given on my upload of the film "Varvara Krasa Dlinnaya Kosa".

WOW, how did it take you to upload this? it must have been a big file. I will be sure to watch it after i get done with the RL 102s

@Sergeyspb2009 OK, whatever you say. However the offer still stands that if anyone wants to provide subtitles I'll open the captions for them.

@usenetposts I did not try you even to criticize, I only reported the modest wish... why to interpret, I prefer to understand sense. I think, Russians and Poland do not want to have the imitators of Cain (but had in the past)! I am sorry, if you do not love the positive discussions! I can analyse and know, as even a bikini can sometimes be the womanish method of defence of priority of rights as be a spiritual and mental creature! Hypocrisy does not provide adequate moral limits!

@Sergeyspb2009 It's all very well for someone with 6 films to be telling the big uploaders what to do. If you're volunteering to add the subtitles, I'll give you the place to do it. As it is you like telling me how I should do my uploads, but I can't see any subtitles on your 6 films. Good thing you didn't put them on the bikini one, as it might have got in the way of the women.

@usenetposts Why you could not know about utility of sub-titles for understanding of good films? Yes, Typical American will not look the Russian films, but can be a lot of American people prefer to think and analyse. Do you see, as freedom of hysterical satisfaction of primitive desires unites teas parties from the USA to Libya (freedom to degrade if advantageously becomes an animal), but the Russian culture always had priority of attention to the man as a spiritual and mental creature.

@Sergeyspb2009 Well, like I say, I'm quite happy to open the captioning function to anyone who wants to volunteer putting on the subtitles. That's an open offer. Don't expect everything from one person.
