Kolya Reviews
Why Socialism Stinks
Kolya is the name of the little Russian boy that is the pawn of those wonderful folks that brought you Socialism, the old Soviet regime and its Czech counterpoint. Louka traveled abroad with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra where he is the number one cellist. Unfortunately he tells the powers to be that talking to Refusnik's abroad, it's all nonsense (not the word he used) and they strip him of his job, reducing him to playing at funerals. Desperate for money he is paid to marry a young Russian women as a convenience, so she can get to freedom in West Germany. The plan goes awry when the boy's grandmother dies leaving Louka as the father in name. The rest of the drama is a crusty fifty-five year old womanizer's gradual transformation into a loving father. The drama of the "Velvet Revolution" is background and ethical dilemma, state or individual, which in the United States was solved by Jefferson, Franklin, Madison, and other visionaries, Capitalism and Democracy with separation of powers. It can't be beaten, no matter what Socialists or their brothers, the Fascists dream up.
Kolya touched my heart
The kid in the movie is absolutely adorable and the relationship that the man and the boy form is gorgeous. It was realistic at the end when the guy had to part with Kolya- no big happy reunion at the end, no Hollywood sappyness- just raw, real life. I loved this movie- the photography was striking showing Kolya stretch his hand out on the plane window over the clouds, showing the guy's toe sticking out of his sock. Everything was filmed at artistic angles. Delicous, a great movie to rent or buy. I personally want to own this movie- I will definately watch it again.
