burnt by the sun

I like the film. The characters are richly etched and the difference between old and new is clearly seen in the older general and the younger secret service agent competing for the woman -- perhaps the woman represents Russia, the older "old" Russian and the newer "new" Russia.


I was just chuckling with the fireball effect. It is supposed to represent the influence of new Russia? Passion? Regardless, I thought it really wasn't necessary for the film and just took the viewer away from it.
