Chorley FM, Coming In Your Ears!
What a masterpiece!!! loved it. Filmfour have already shown NIghtwatch. Lets hope they'll broaden there scope a little more and give us more Russian cinema!!!
Just watching it now, Its very realistic!!!!!!!!!
it was very boring...
****maybe a spoiler ahead****
altho it is funny coz at the end he says we're victorious.. but in reality afghanistan beat them...just like they are doin with america at the moment.
Afghanis will beat all the NATO forces. Allied forces can win battles but will ultimately lose the war. One major reason is because their home countries dont have stomach to take casualties. Anyway, a superb movie.

I dont understand how someone could say this film was boring ??? I thought it was excellent, easily the best war film I have seen for several years.
As for any political point scoring being made in this thread, let me relate something to you. I can remember an interview with a senior member of a US political think-tank many years ago concerning US aid for the Afghan rebels against the Russians. They disagreed with official US policy and said that in 20-25 years time we would be wondering why on earth we were supplying the Afghans with anything at all, never mind sophisticated weapons. They went on to say that the average Russian just wants to buy some Levi jeans, have a few beers, listen to some music and get laid (just like us in the West). They pointed out that the average Afghan is rather different.
Every time I see anything in the media about Afghanistan, I remember that interview.
