Silver Skates

1899, the Christmas-time St.Petersburg. Ice-covered rivers and canals of the capital seethe with festive activities. On the eve of the new century those who should not be destined to meet, come together. They are people from different worlds: Matvey, the son of a lamplighter, whose only treasure is his silver-plated skates; Alice is the daughter of a high-ranking official dreaming of science. Each of them has his own difficult life-story, but having accidentally met they rush forward together in pursuit of their dreams.

    This is how 5 seconds destroy a very good movie
    This could be a fantasy movie with fairytale strong elements, some action, were good values are beeing transmitted, ethical aspects of life that lead to definition of values in societies beeing explored and debated, were the change and clash beetween diferent generations trying to adapt to a changing world is brilliant evidenced.

    The movie starts to be normal, nothing special but at some point something happen without we even notice and change to something almost extraordinary.

    Then 5 seconds manage to destroy all elements and environment already built to the point that is almost unbearable to continue to watch and end the movie.

    And on top of that too many shots for this kind of movie, one shot is enough.

    Perfect example of how to murder a movie.

    One of the best I've seen in a long time!
    The negative reviews on here are so unfair. Ok maybe it's not exactly historically accurate in some areas but it's a movie and movies are meant to entertain!! Chillax a little! Definitely worth a watch.
