DVD Reviews of Bratya Karamazovy / The Brothers Karamazov [DVD NTSC][ENGLISH SUBTITLES][2009]
DVD Review: Quite loyal to the book, but ...
Summary: 3 Stars
As other reviewers state, this is a quite loyal adaptation to the book, but for me at least it deviates in two critical points: the beginning and the end.
The series starts with the three brothers playing together merrily. If you remember the book, the three brothers were never together in their childhood! Dimitri actually meets their brothers only at adulthood. And the end: Ivan and Dimitri in a hug while Dimitri is taken away with the prisioner's chain bound to Siberia. Flat out wrong, the end of the book is open, we are not supposed to know if Dimitri really escapes or not, if Ivan recover his health or not and when (though there are hints in the book) and how he reacts at the end. For me, these two points spoiled all the other perfect attachement to the book.
At the same time, what makes this book so great is that it's such a powerful reflection on good and evil, on human motivations and so on, but it's also great drama, and I'm sorry but I don't see the drama in this adaptation.
And my last quibble: what's wrong with this Ivan? The portray here is of such malign guy that it results even more repugnant than Smerdiakov, this can't be good.Ivan is one of the most complex caracthers in all literature and I feel the actor here just falls short on conveying the deeply troubled psycology of his caracther; a man torned between cold intellect and religious doubt and in top of it in love with this brother's fiancee! Someone that is possing as a cynic "I know everything and how all of you are mistaken" dude but at the same time is just a 24 year old young man.
Look for instance at the very flawed MGM movie; with all the script problems and clearly looking 44 years old, Richard Basehart is more sucessfull conveying the nuances of Ivan with much less words or screen time.
In one word, this is usefull if you have to read the book for school and make a report and you don't want to do so, or usefull if you love this book so much as I do and care about any adaptation made.
But a definitive movie/tv adapation? Not for me.
Description of Bratya Karamazovy / The Brothers Karamazov [DVD NTSC][ENGLISH SUBTITLES][2009]
Based on the novel by Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevskiy "Bratya Karamazovy". This 12 episodes mini-series adaptation is as close to the book as possible. "The Brothers Karamazov" is the final novel by Dostoyevsky, and is generally considered the culmination of his life's work. "The Brothers Karamazov" is a passionate philosophical novel that explores deep into the ethical debates of God, free will and morality. It is a spiritual drama of moral struggles concerning faith, doubt, reason and modern Russia. Dostoyevsky composed much of the novel in Staraya Russa, which is also the main setting of the novel.Bestsellers in DVD
