A fiery but mostly peaceful reactor test
Director of Chernobyl chose to not use russian accent because actors will try to act the accent and could loose the attention to portraying the characters. That's why they have british accents.
People that complain about this kind of shit are autistic and I can say that as an autist myself.

Chernobyl is a great show. And the scenes with the technicians inside the power plant leading up to the explosion remind me of how we have so many people in this country now who demand we believe(or act is if we believe) blatant lies. It won't end well.
Hmm i might have to watch it then, i was turned off to the show when i saw that everyone spoke english in british and Scandinavian accents
@@gamehardy well it was made by HBO, an American company to be fair
Guys let's make this comment a thread of good Russian movies, TV shows, books, and music recommendation (or about Russia like HBO's' Chernobyl). For me, Russian literature is just out of this world, I really want to read more of it. Additionally, I am fascinated by the chess culture in the country and how much of an influence it is to the international sport.
Edit: Also the comedy film 'Death of Stalin' which is banned/not licensed in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan is worth a watch.
Anything to do with the bolshoi is fascinating to me because I used to dance. But more so, the pride and how the culture permiates every facet of life in Russia. It's quite beautiful. Strong people with bold spirits out of necessity and yet the grace to perfect something like ballet. I respect the dedication to country but also feel bad for those who worship any leader or title.
Tarkovsky. Everything by him.
There is a very good russian "comedy"(not comedy but funny)/scifi called "Kin Dza Dza" (its even here on youtube) that I would recommend everyone to watch.
Fyodor Dostoevsky his literature are just amazing ...the man was a genius
Leviathan. Perhaps the best piece of contemporary Russian Cinema. On bringing it up here, I'm going to go and watch it again.
They couldn’t remember the movie “ The Hangover”
What we need is a movie about the performance of Shostas 7th in Leningrad during the siege! Its such an insane story and perfect for a movie. This orchestra playing one of the longest, most demanding orchestral pieces, unable to go through it without anyone passing out before the life performance. They blasted the shit so loud on all speakers, the Germans could hear it in their positions. One day a violinist came late to rehearsal because he buried his wife after serving at the front that day. Conductor was like: „I dont give a fuck. Show up on time.“
Its the most Russian thing ever and full of gems of insanity and awesomeness. Give me my movie already!
It'd be nice indeed to watch a movie from the West about the Leningrad siege. Those were truly tragic 900 days which definitely deserve a great film. The documentary shots from that time gives you very unpleasent feeling.
If you listen to the Chernobyl Podcast the creator, Craig Mazin, says exactly why they decided not to use Russian accents in the show. Starts at the 10:00 minute mark. th-cam.com/video/rUeHPCYtWYQ/w-d-xo.html
thanks
I second your thanks.
There is a very interesting article I read a while ago: ‘How HBO’s “Chernobyl” Ignores the Nuances of Soviet Language’ by Victor Martinovich (look it up, it’s really interesting). Nothing to do with using English in the series but the actual way people would interact with each other in the “real” Soviet Union, not the one a westerner who wrote the script would imagine it.
Any link to the article?
@@imtesaalahmed2159 I answered you with the actual link but apparently Y.T. didn’t allow it. This is the address: przekroj.pl/en/culture/comrade-batman-victor-martinovich (add at the beginning) I hope it works.
She had a very..... Nuclear family.
Ooh I am interested in that show now
I’m jealous of you for not having seen it yet. It’s honestly probably the most I’ve been touched by a TV series ever.
I got radiation sickness watching it. Just too real
I watched all episodes in a row past sunday. After hearing all the praise and getting it recommended by friends I'm glad I finally gave it a look. It's dark from start to finish but it's also beautiful. Do yourself a favor and check it out.
I watched it, and then watched it again it was too good
Brilliant television...
Stalker by Tarkovsky is utterly beautiful and nuclear
Dr. Zhivago
Someone please tell lex to watch “come and see”.
thing is, dont we wish it was only a show...
I thought they t did a great job on Citizen X too
It wasn't particularly accurate. A lot of things were included for emotional effect, or to enhance and exaggerate for impact, that didn't actually occur. Look into it.
Critics tend to forget that HBO Chernobyl is a feature film, not a documentary. When one is shooting a feature film it's normal to think about its form and pacing otherwise it would be overloaded with detailes which make narrative raggy and uneffective.
have u watched "stalker"?
Except for the fact they all had British accents?
Yeah what's up with a bunch of actors being British
Turito Bassu “put it in britain” that may be the single most retarded thing I’ve read related to that’s show, including Russia’s plan to ,make their own series and blame it on the CIA
the producers and directors thought that everyone putting on fake Russian accents would be more off putting than everyone speaking their own native British accent.
I have that same black cup from target lol
"The whole country was built on a lie." Need to hear a bit more on that.
Ironically the USA seems hellbent on proving themselves they have the same problem... the American Dream, the excessive patriotism/nationalism, the American exceptionalism, etc... nowadays, it just seem to be a big lie to keep the unwashed masses under control.
I might be wrong of course, but as a European from a small country outside these big geopolitical events and dogmas, it's what I perceive.
Then try watching this. Bet you love truth:

@@bdi_vd3677 the video is in Russian, the English subtitles are hard to follow and the video is over 1 hour long. From the first couple of minutes I watched it seems that Konstantin is arguing that Chernobyl is American propaganda? How would you summarise that video?
Why there are no good movies about Stalin and Mao?!
Maybe because Hollywood is afraid that they will be offended and retaliate against them?!
Or maybe, documentaries are the way to go, since this is active history that they want to hide?!!!
@@tmuxor a lot of facts are intentionally mixed up to portray certain things in another light and create a feeling of malice, criminal incompetence and deep indifference to the wellbeing of USSR ruling party towards own people.
The whole process of evacuation and preventing heavy fallout was radically successful. Here's, for example about difference between evacuation from flooding Orlean, Fucusima and Pripyat. th-cam.com/video/LTDEG1FvFEQ/w-d-xo.html
I loved this podcast :)
What I find the most inaccurate in the "Chernobyl" series is the way the characters handle conversation. For example, the dialogue between the firefighter's wife and her neighbor in the yard on the night of the explosion. I just can't imagine that people would have this polished, well-mannered, graceful British-style small talks in Russia or in Ukraine, especially in a small town like Pripyat. It seems so out-of-tune to anyone who has been living long enough in the ussr / post-ussr culture.
@@MrChristyCree It's really hard to explain with words. But I could advise to watch some soviet movie of that period for the reference. What came to my mind first was "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears". I do not like the movie itself but it shows the manner people were communicating with each other. I hope it helps a littlle bit.
I understand how Lex feel about the movie,british accent ,british actors ,there is no Russia in this history.
One year ago in England or in Hollywood,they were going to make a movei about Henry VIII of England and his second wife Anne Boleyn and the chosen actres was black. Now tell me how accurate this movei Will be. Young people that are not that good in history or are from another country,lets say from America will think that really the queen of England in 1533 was black and Henry VIII beheaded her because he was a racist.
Hahahaha I am laughing out loud with my own humor.
Lex is such a naive guy to human nature. I like him.
It's actually not very accurate. It dramatized much of the events
The scientific inaccuracies were bothersome. Uranium atoms are bullets (what?) then neutrons are bullets (better, but still, and so which is it?), corium hitting undeground water = multi megaton explosion?! C'mon, don't you have real issues to work with there? Why make up ridiculous shit?
LMAO no, not at all 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Russian way lol
Enemy at the Gates. Come and See.
Sounds like two high functioning stoners reminiscing. Highly interesting and informative, but tough to keep allured. A transcrypt may be more enticing than the podcast...
Not everything needs to be flash and bangs. I bet you are from usa? 😁
@@DanielAnderssson you obviously didn’t get the tone…and no, I’m from Spain xD nice try nugget
The science and narrative are not accurate, this is a dramatisation. Sure the scenery, props, characteristics of Russia and its people/ society and other artistic and cultural aspects may well be, I defer to those who lived there for that appraisal of course. However, this TV DRAMA is not accurate in how it portrays the science of the accident and the outcomes. It gives a grossly false impression of the dangers of nuclear power production and should therefore in no way be looked at as a documentary.
I enjoyed the series a lot, but I fear others will be misled by the fact it looks so authentic. Due to this, I wish it hadn't been so popular, as the PR of nuclear energy needs massive improvement if you care at all about the environment.
What's the accurate science according to you?
