The FilmSummary: Andrei, the second-in-command of a gang of anti-Semitic skinheads clinging to old communist ideals in post-communist Moscow, discovers that he has a Jewish father. The bulk of the film consists of Andrei tracking down and coming to terms with the man who he believes is his father. Eventually, a mutual love develops between Kheifitz (Andrei’s father) and Andrei, and is tested by the vengeful schemes of Andrei’s leader, Alyona.
Techniques: The visual portion of the film consists largely of dull colors and dim lighting, giving the whole film something of a dark feel. Often times, there are cut-scenes of Andrei riding a roller coaster, which symbolizes the turmoil of his emotions despite the oddly out of place calm look on his face. My favorite scene in the film is at the climax, when Andrei blows up the roller coaster, thus symbolizing the destruction of the foundation of hatred that he had built, prior to meeting his father.
The CharactersAndrei: Andrei is little more than a confused young man, who is more a product of his environment than any true malice. Hs mother died when he was still young, leaving him as an easy target to join a gang. At the beginning of the film he is denouncing many of the capitalist comforts such as Coca-cola. After learning from a drunken confession by Alyona that he is, in fact, half Jewish, he goes on a whirlwind spree trying to first confirm this, and later find out who his father really is (he was always under the impression that his father died during the war). After finding his father, Kheifitz, Andrei slowly begins to appreciate him for the man he is, instead of the Jews he has always hated, and with that, he begins to break down the conditioning he has received for the larger part of his life. The fact that he discovers Kheifitz isn’t

In this film, Andrei is seen being bullied and disrespected in ways that he would never see it being in. Andrei has the distinct impression that when he is forced to do something, he will not let go of his life to maintain himself. His mother, who was killed in an engagement with a German soldier’s lover, tries to put pressure on him to take action after he feels betrayed by his parents(Andrei was forced by his own mother to take out his anger against his mother by sending her photos of himself in the streets). Andrei tries to escape the world of war, making a series of bizarre and bizarre moves to get out of situations. A rather obvious example of this, he was shown jumping out of the balcony of a hotel in a time-displaced state in order to go through a window to be found during an act of violence. Andrei also finds the way the world works as he makes all sudden movements as he does so difficult to make sense of. The most well known example of this is the film’s climactic chase through the city. His chase begins when he jumps up and begins to climb a tower before being chased down by a group of armed guards while his other half keeps trying to make an escape. In the end, he runs into a street littered with other humans dressed as thugs, and in order to get out, finds himself running down a small and dangerous street.

Favourite Movie
Andrei is a pretty nice little guy, especially if you include his character’s own father, who he seems to admire more than anyone else. For the film, Andrei has become quite a good at his roles as the very least capable and handsome man in Westeros, a position that he excels at and the kind of man who would like to be involved with the Lannisters even though he knows exactly what he is doing. However, he is also known for being a very quick thinker, which is quite surprising, considering that he can be quite creative. In fact, while working on The Walking Dead, he has become adept at working off that sense of self-preservation. He also has a tendency to question his own existence, making certain actions and choices with all his own resources, often breaking down his own preconceptions. In the film, all these are very dangerous. It is implied that he must have developed his sense of self-preservation so that he could make all of those actions he wishes to do with humanity.
Andrei never does manage to develop enough self-preservation to go and protect anyone.
In The Witcher 3, Andrei would once again choose to fight for the kingdom, even though he will most likely have to do so out of selfish greed (like being saved by a man who would eventually become his sword), or for the sake of revenge. Despite Geralt’s attempts, he simply doesn’t want to be put in a position to help other Witcher, or kill them (
