Runaway journey

The US-Russian version of "Don't Talk to Strangers".
A typical road movie, the story takes place on the train from Beijing to Moscow, in the pure white ice and snow of Siberia... The journey is often a symbol of life, adventure, passion, excitement, boredom, conspiracy, crime, despair... Is it an episode of life or the way home?
There is a sentence circling in my mind: life often loses control without you knowing it.
Although the film has political metaphors between the United States and Russia, although it is not thorough enough and ruthless enough, it always likes this tune, full of unknowable horror and fear of escape...

    A very good movie. Why does Beijing seem to be out of style when it enters the scene? After watching the movie, I am very interested in this train line.

    Although recommended, but as long as you watch it, it will not be a fire. . . .

Transsiberian quotes

  • Roy: [competing with other passenger's tiger scar] Hey, look at this. A deer attacked me.

    passenger: A deer?

    Roy: Yeah, a John Deer power mower!

  • Roy: Hold on there Ilya, don't tell me that you miss the USSR? I mean the USSR was a dark evil empire.

    Grinko: Maybe so. But then we were people living in the darkness, now we are people dying in the light. Which is better? When it was USSR a man lived until 65 years, now it is 58 years. I know this fact very well, I am 58. In Russia now we say there are only 2 kinds people, those who leave in private jet, and those who leave in coffin.

    Jessie: Which are you?

    Grinko: I'm too old to leave. Just do my job.
