    Default Bitter Harvest: 2017 Hollywood movie about the Holodomor

    The history behind "Bitter Harvest":http://euromaidanpress.com/2016/11/0...ide/#arvlbdata

    Considered one of the most overlooked tragedies of the 20th century, the Holodomor (also known as the Great Famine) killed somewhere between 2.5 and 10 million Ukrainians in 1931-32. Although the cause of the devastating famine has long been a source of global debate, it’s widely believed to be a genocide orchestrated by the Stalin-ruled Soviet Union against Ukraine’s population.

    Now, the Holodomor serves as the backdrop for the sweeping new romantic epic Bitter Harvest. (Watch the exclusive trailer below.) And the film makes no secret where it stands on the issue of the Holodmor’s cause: “Ukraine must be taught to bow to our will,” a Russian official says in the preview’s opening moments. When told such efforts could kill millions, Stalin (Gary Oliver) replies coldly, “Who in the world will know?”

    We see the effects of the famine through the eyes of Yuri (Max Irons), a recently engaged artist whose land is seized and who becomes a key figure in the resistance against the Soviet oppressors. Fueling Yuri’s fire is not only his deep love for his country but also his deep love for the beautiful Natalka (Les Misérables breakout Samantha Barks), whom he must leave to join the fight and eventually escape imprisonment to save from starvation.

    Directed by George Mendeluk from an original screenplay by Richard Bachynsky Hoover, Bitter Harvest also features Barry Pepper, Terence Stamp, and Tamer Hassan. The film opens Feb. 24, 2017.

    Is there any film about historical event without that kind of shit? I'm pretty sure many films would be much better if some irrelevant idiocies would be ommited in the scenario.

    It's Hollywood. There has to be a romance or sex scene. Have you seen the film "Die Hard"? John McTiernan, the director, told how he was forced to put a brief, gratuitous sex scene in the film. It lasts for just a few seconds. Romance also pulls in the female viewers to historical or war epics, so I've heard.

    Without the said idiocies the story is nothing. There are no facts behind it. Appeal to emotions is its only chance to having any lasting effect.

    I haven't watched it, or at least I don't remember. It starts to get annoying however, that in every potentially good film with a good scenario, some romance is being involved.

    Funny how hollywood never cared about this during soviet days. Now that russia is free from communism and banksters they are quite bad guys all of a sudden.
    If it weren't for us you'd be speaking German. Instead, you'll be speaking Arabic.

    Most likely, it will be the same piece of propaganda, made with the US taxpayers' money, as well as the Child 44 movie. Speaking about the attitude of Ukrainians and Russians in the Soviet Union, I'd recommend "28 Panfilov's men" upcoming movie. Especially since it was filmed on donations of common people (including mine).
    As you can see from trailer, one of the characters speaks Ukrainian and gives orders to Russian. No one causes problems with that. We fought together during World War II, because, in fact, we are one people. No matter how much Ukrainians dislike it.
