10 out of 10

 

The Stories of Anton Chekhov https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2024/05/a-country-cottage-by-anton-chekhov.html are included among The Best 100 Books of All Time in one important version, while they sit at 127 on The Greatest Books of All Time site, and indeed, I have started listening to some of them again, and they are wondrous

 

One of the latest is called The Illegitimate, albeit I did not find it listed as such, there is a theatrical adaptation, so the original might be under a different name, notwithstanding that, it is about an…Illegitimate baby, this servant comes with the infant at the house where she used to work and presents the boy

The master of the house is not pleased with this, not in the first place anyway, and he disputes his contribution, even saying there is no way to establish the facts – this is nineteenth century Russia, and a naughty thought has me saying they could not do that with certainty today, what with Putin and the lying

 

Putin is the symbol of Evil, just like the other Goodfella https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/01/confidence-man-making-of-donald-trump.html and I may have some more comments from MAGA, who have been very angry with me, because I hate their cult leader

It is such a shame that Russia has become a pariah – although it is a model for the jingoists, the extremists - when they have had such luminaries, from Dostoevsky to Chekhov, from Tolstoy to Turgenev – I am happy that I have had no qualms with restarting Chekhov, even if it was in fact George Constatin that sparked this

 

He was the greatest thespian that I know, surpassing even Jack Nicholson in my book, because he had this supernatural power, a gift of hypnotizing the audience  https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/11/the-marriage-proposal-by-anton-chekhov.html maybe he is a relative of Rasputin

A group of Soviet actors, maybe from the Bolshoi, came to these parts and they looked at local artists and the one they remarked was Geroge Constantin, despite the fact that he was just present, he had almost no role to play, which seems to be what happened with Jack Nicholson, at least according to Robert Evans

 

Robert Evans was the actor turned producer, who became the head of Paramount – now involved in controversial mergers – and he tells us so many tales in his The Kid Stays in The Picture https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/01/the-kid-stays-in-picture-by-robert-evans.html including how he ‘discovered’ Jack Nicholson

In The Fade aka Auf Dem Nichts, written by Hark Bohm and Fatih Akin

  In The Fade aka Auf Dem Nichts, written by Hark Bohm and Fatih Akin In The Fade has won the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film, although in this cinephile's opinion, Una Mujer Fantastica- which has won the Oscar in the same category- Nelyubov or The Square would have been better choices. Having said that, Auf Dem Nichts is a very good, significant, remarkable feature, that attracts attention to violence against minorities, in this case the Kurdish community in Germany. It is therefore not one sided, we do not have only Muslim lunatics killing innocent "infidels", but also some extreme Europeans murdering the other side. The problem is that, unacceptable, horrifying and vile as these acts are, it appears that the overwhelming majority of atrocities are committed by zealots acting in the name of Islam- radical and unrepresentative as they are for this supposedly peaceful faith, although there are passages in its holy book that seem to insist on a violent jihad and ultimat...
