Dmitry, I suspect you knew that - didn't you? It is a remake of the 1936 Soviet film called Thirteen. Down to some very minute details, if you replace tanks with horses, of course.Is something wrong with writing the original script?
I am yet to see a remake that was at the same level as the original - so why are they still doing this?
What's next? A "Potemkin" remake set in a Brooklyn high school?
Follow Ups:
...you will get the Polish cavalry meeting the Germans on a crisp Sept. day in 1939.
I do remember the movie "13"(Romm?), but I don't remember what it was about.I'm sure nashi won! Perhaps I should watch the Sahara again. Are you sure it was copied off of 13?
These things happen, for example the Wolf with Jack Nicholson was a close remake(scriptwise) of an Odessa Movie Studios film, of all things. I'm sure there were German films that mimicked the Sahara(or vice versa). That's a pretty nifty topic, actually. Let's dust off those Capra film tins.
How did you like The Beast?
***...you will get the Polish cavalry meeting the Germans on a crisp Sept. day in 1939.The Soviet cavalry didn't do much better in 41... They practiced on the meneuvres with Stalin and Voroshilov watching, and it looked good - brave cavalrymen charging against tanks, throwing bundles of handgrenades, then turning back victoriously...
They forgot one small detail - tanks had machine guns...
***I do remember the movie "13"(Romm?)Yes, Romm
***, but I don't remember what it was about.I'm sure nashi won!
I think one or two survived, and the guy made it through and he brought the cavalry...
***Perhaps I should watch the Sahara again. Are you sure it was copied off of 13?
As I said, down to small details like soldiers "bathing" while the enemy commander watches whiping his dry lips.
They didn't have a black, of course, so they sent a 'khokhol' down into the well.

You were right, it was not a bad film. Lots of cliche's of course, but not too intrusive. I watched it with interest... and alone again... My wife left after about 40 minutes - it was too distirbing.
So imagine her first reaction when the next night I put on another tank movie?
You are right. My grandfather, an artillery leutenant was sent on excercise to the German border, without ammo, on June 20th, 1941. We still have a withered missing-in-action notice, stating that he disappeared on June 25th,1941. My mother was born on a train under bombs near Kuibyshev in Sept. of 1941. I'm older now than he was...
