I find it so as well. Same with Taras Bulba. It leaves me curious about the process of taking zeitgeist thought forms and blending them in as fact. Maybe it's not a relevant distinction on their level? Just guessing.

I saw comments about that film when digging around for historical information on Taras Bulba. None were about the quality of the film, but rather about the politics of a Russian making a film about the Ukraine. The Ukrainians have been so abused over time that they're quite sensitive to vestiges of imperial sentiment. Hope it's a good film. It's a great tale.
