look at the scene

This year, the BBC is really addicted to the remake.
Personally, I think this casting is a bit of a failure.
I don’t understand how Lily James became popular. I

have never been very keen on Soviet and Russian culture
. I just blame my literary accomplishment for not reaching that level . To
put it bluntly, I felt bored
when I read the original book. It's

still awkward to watch a group of British people play Russian dramas intermittently. The
key is that no
matter how different people respect tradition and culture, they still don't feel that way.

Anyway, the whole drama ends with a very positive energy.
As long as there's life, there is happiness

    It's full of great British narration. The scenes and costumes are impeccably beautiful. As for what people often criticize, it is too British and lacks the grandeur and depth of the original Russian nation. These statements are a bit hypocritical. Just like the Russian remake of Sherlock Holmes without complaining: it proves how good works take root in different regional and cultural environments.

    Start chasing the Russian tome! Thank you so much for the movie, you don't need to read the book! After watching it all afternoon, I felt dizzy and it was all love and hatred. The ugliest Pierre is my favorite. The second half of Nicola and Maria was great!

War & Peace quotes

  • [first lines]

    Anna Pavlovna Scherer: But mon cher ami, how can you be so calm? This... this monster, Bonaparte - he's crossed into Austria now and... who's to say that Russia won't be next.

  • [last lines]

    Pierre Bezukhov: [voice-over] They say sufferings are misfortunes. But if I was asked, would I stay as I was before I was taken prisoner, or go through it all again? I would say for God's sake, let me be a prisoner again.

    Pierre Bezukhov: Come, let's sit and eat and give thanks for our good fortune.

    Pierre Bezukhov: [voice-over continued] When our lives are knocked off course, we imagine everything in them is lost. But it is only the start of something new and good. As long as there is life, there is happiness. There is a great deal... a great deal still to come.
