Title: How the 9th Company is understood in Russia
Review: This film is not based on real events, it's based on Bondarchuck Jr's impressions of what was real. Significant portion of movie budget was spent on advertising and TV buzz, without which this movie would be a financial disaster. As a result, the movie is not well appreciated in Russia.Many scenes in the movie are objectionable, and have little relation to how it was in real 9th company story. Several survivors from that battle were really disappointed and refused to acknowledge movie similarity to real events.The main issue is that they knew that they were not forgotten, and help was on it's way, and the fierce fight was not futile. Every other lie in the film is simply eclipsed by this fact.You should know this when watching 'The 9th Company'.
