The end of The Irony of Fate or Enjoy Your Bath!
Part 2 seemed a little more dull in my eyes, because it turned more into a drama than a comedy. With Ippolit continually coming back for no reason and leaving- i don't know i just think most of the second have good have been cut out. Furthermore, the three friends of Zhenya were histerical. They made the movie in my eyes- it would have not been a comedy without them. I feel some similarities i've noticed in the second half and with American comedies is the fact that sometimes comedies turn into love stories. This is prevalent in many American comedies which can sometimes be disappointing. This can be a good or bad thing depending on what kind of movie you want to see. All in all, this movie was very good; however, i wish there were more laughs then lighthearted dramatic scenes.

As for the readings in the book:
I think the cinema is very important to cultures all over the world. As mentioned on page 10 "audiences were attracted to seeing pictures from all over the world." I think this allowed people from all over the world to experience a little taste of what is happening on the other side of the world. I mean look at how many things we picked up from watching one Russian film. So much more culture can be expressed through movies than in television shows. One point also mentioned in the reading was how people would escape their lives through movies. I find this to be very true because its so easy to get lost in a good movie- whether they make you laugh or cry - it can be easy to put yourself in the actors' shoes.
