for the 1st picture: "No guys, I shall not give you the machinegun!" It's a phrase from well known film in Russia and in former USSR republics. I don't speack Ukrain so well, but I guess that it is: "Need to punish them with my new rifle"
This is off on a tangent, but is there some web store that would have Eastern European films with English subtitles, or American films with Russian subtitles? I found a course from the University of Arizona that offers a dvd first year language course in Ukrainian, but having a few movies around to hear the language certainly couldn't hurt. Besides, a movie with women and machineguns can't be all bad. ;)
Well, difficult question. Here, in Russia you can find films with both (English/Russian) sound trcks and with russian and english subtitles. There was not a woman with machinegun in that film, but aged (but not too old) retired officer of the pre-revolution Russion army. This film called "White sun of the desert". And try to remind me to search such films - there must be some web shop, selling films you need. What language you wanna to learn? I'm Russian, so I don't know Ukrain so well, denspite of their similarity.
I've been seriously considering visiting Ukraine next summer. I'd like to see Kyiv and Odesa. I had thought to start learning basic Ukrainian, but after a bit more research, it seems like learning a basic amount of Russian would be much more practical. (And finding Russian language courses is a much simpler task.)
It seems like there ought to be some online source for Russian films that would play on Region 1 dvd players. Reading English subtitles would at the very least allow me some exposure to the cadence of the language. And I might have a chance to see some really cool films that I might not otherwise have seen.
Well,you can also visit Russia too ;) It's rather close to Ukraine ;) Yes, I think learning a basic amount of Russian would be much more practical. 'Couse most of ukraine peoplr speak russian, but very small number of russians realy speaks ukrain. But if you know russian, it would be easy for you to learn ukraine, 'cause, as I said before, this languages has much similar. Any way, here in Russia you can easily find some films with english and russian sondtracks and english and russian subtitles.
