Talk:Brother (Brat)

Fixing the messed up formatting

This is by far one of the most messed up pages regarding Formatting I've ever seen. I'm fixing it now. To the creators. Try looking at all the other IMFDB pages before you build a page. You can't just create a new formatting style and run with it. MoviePropMaster2008 02:01, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

No, it's not. It's not even a Nagant.--Alek The Russian 15:41, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

• OK, I'm just never heard before about this "handmade".

This is not $600, this is $2600

I'm russian, so I know russian language. And I have original russian-sounded VHS cassette "Брат". In it, I've heard: "Вот тебе ствол с обоймой. Две тыщи шестьсот (2600). Сочтёмся потом." 92.252.222.232 10:03, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

It is still 600 bucks

In the film it is told not "2600", but "it is 600 more". 600 dollars more to that sum that Victor has already given to Danila (to buy some new threads and to rent a room). Otherwise what sense to him was to offer Danila $2000 for murder of Chechen ("I better give the money to you. 2000 bucks.") if the pistol costed more expensive than the contract? If you till do not trust, here the reference to a site where was done subtitles for "Brother" (http://notabenoid.com/book/1406/5484/? page=3). Find there this phrase.--Alek The Russian 20:18, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Hey Alek. Sign your posts, please man.--Oliveira 20:13, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

now that you have posted the information in English, i have deleted the cyrillic. Thanks. MoviePropMaster2008 00:14, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes, thanks, now I see it's true about "it is 600 more". But, about "pistol costed more expensive than the contract", I think $2000 is advance, isn't it? 92.252.222.232 17:37, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

As we remember, Round (Круглый) should have pay to Victor 20 grands for murder of Chechen. But Victor was the tricky person, even in regard to his own brother. From the very beginning Victor lied to Danila, about the sort of his work and about why Chechen should be killed. So I think that it will be correct to believe that Victor also decided to deceive Danila about the real price for such sort of work as Chechen's murder. Victor has told to Danila that Chechen ostensibly extort money from Victor, but Victor does not wish to pay him and will better give money to Danila. Victor has decided to play on simplicity and provinciality of his brother, for whom in his opinion 2000 dollars is a very big sum of money.
By the way, many of other people did the same mistake as Victor, taking Danila for patsy, that actually was proved to be falsehood. Danila was just a shrewd man (cебе на уме).--Alek The Russian 21:15, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Cyrillic paragraphs will be deleted

FYI, foreign language text is not allowed at IMFDB. Sorry. I understand the previous quote in Russian for the sake of clarifying a specific quote from the film. But no full COMMENTARY in a foreign language. For the majority of our english speaking and reading members, if they do not have cyrillic loaded on their computers it looks like gibberish characters. If anyone needs to communicate with each other on IMFDB, do it in English. Thanks. MoviePropMaster2008 19:23, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Is this movie available on DVD anywhere?

I liked this movie alot. It was much better than I expected and I would now like to own it, so does anyone have a clue where I could order it from? I don't feel like asking my friend to look for it next time he goes to Moscow like I usually do.-S&Wshooter 03:35, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

It's listed on Amazon for $14.--Predator20 04:10, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Hand-made Revolver Questions

How many rounds are in the cylinder of this revolver? I can count at least eight when I look at still frames of this movie, but I suspect that the actual capacity of the cylinder is nine rounds. Since it has been established already that this firearm is not a Nagant Revolver, which was never made for .22 caliber as best I can tell, then is it safe to also assume that this revolver does not have a gas sealing system similar to what is found on the Russian Nagant M1895? If so, then this would mean that this revolver is just like most others - they cannot be fitted with an effective improvised silencer, which would be contrary to what is depicted in the movie.
