Then, about 10 minutes in the Ukraine hipster gets his introductory monologue, with that PREMIUM wonderful broken English. The band he greets "Jonfen" with cracked me up, and I LOVED the dog's shirt. It was really fun and quirky, and then got serious and somber without being heavy. Overall, it was a great story with a great blend of humor and humanity, and even the cartoonish comic releif translator gets some depth. Thanks for the recommendation!MCFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01153439676504243430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-1151106612910474702006-06-23T17:50:00.000-06:002006-06-23T17:50:00.000-06:00Initially I didn't wanted to watch this movie.The ...Initially I didn't wanted to watch this movie.The day after I read your post I saw it at the library. I thought, why not it is free...it's can be that bad. Well I laughed, cried, etc, etc. it was great..partly because I was surprised. I loved the interpreting and stuff like, "We're you able to manufacture some zzzz?"
