Completely screwed and basically murders her uncle.
The guy that basically saved her (and her mother's) life, the guy that gave her a second chance, gave her a career, living, education, purpose, position of prominence etc.
Yeh nah didn't like the direction this movie went.
Horrible last half hour and ending
But he sent her to whore school.
shareShe fucks him over.
shareThis is not the first evil Russian movie and it won't be the last.
Keanu Reeves' Siberia is another example, which basically shown all Russians were more or less perverted arseholes.
They usually use popular actors, and usually with nudity, otherwise I don't think anybody would watch this kind of films.
Ok. I'm not sure if you're agreeing with me or disagreeing
shareYou were basically saying the girl was a not good person. I was saying they generally portrayed all Russians more or less that way.
So what do you think?
I suppose you're right. The uncle wasn't necessarily a good person, but what I said in my OP rings true, ultimately he gave her many good things
shareYes, her uncle might not be the best uncle, but they weren't that close to begin with. He might have used her, but he did have some good intentions, otherwise she would have died long ago.
Her uncle did not deserve what she did to him.
«Her uncle did not deserve what she did to him.»
Her uncle never warned her or advised her about anything, never showed any compassion or empathy, she was nothing more than a pawn to him:
(spoilers...)
- Her uncle most probably abused/raped her when she was a child (you all should remember that, when she was a child, her mother didn't liked the way he looked at her);
- Her uncle never tried to help her or her mother, not even finding a new apartment as they were about to be evicted, he just wanted to recruit her;
- Her uncle lured her to a meeting where he knew she probably would be raped (and she was raped);
- In that meeting a man was violently murdered just in front of her getting her all spattered with blood becoming herself a loose end awaiting elimination and her uncle never tried to save her from all that, he just gave her a choice... die or do what he was telling her to do (obviously she chose to live and naively agreed to do what her uncle was telling her to do, never she imagined she would be sent to the whore school);
- Her uncle even ordered her to be tortured (all her body would have been in great pain for weeks after this, reminding her of everything her uncle had done to her).
Everything her uncle did, he did for himself without any regard for her. He only cared about himself. The only time he showed any real emotion was when he knew he was about to die.

True, they weren't close but they were still family, they were uncle and niece. Normally, there is a natural attachment when blood is shared no matter how often they see each other (even between cousins, second cousins, etc.) but in their case there was none at all and all because of how her uncle behaved. So... as you say, maybe I'm making things up to suit me but to me it makes sense and, in that sense, they (she, her mother and her uncle) didn't behave like a normal family when her uncle was present... and kids don't necessarily tell everything that happens to them even when they are protected just like her mother tried to protect her from her uncle.
Also, while growing up, she just wanted to be special, someone different from everyone else (hence becoming a ballerina), as if she just wanted to run away from her life.
I think there is a good probability that, at least, she was abused as a child by her uncle, holding a grudge all her life and when added to everything else that her uncle did to her and that we saw in the movie, she had no problem thinking he deserved everything she had planned for him.
Do I think he deserved what happened to him in the end? Well, I'm definitely not in favor of death penalties but I also never went through what she did.
There are relatives you grow up with, there are relatives you don't really know, even the relatives you grow up with usually grow apart when you grow up and focusing on your career. I have relatives like that, and they are not really friends, they are more acquaintance.
You can't even rely on your friends when you are down, you should expect less from relatives you hardly know, or only meet on holidays, or sometimes not even then.
And you don't talk to or trust someone raped or sexually assaulted you as a child, so I think you are way off.
We definitely deserved more nudity from JLaw than what we ultimately received, especially when we're so often paying $20 for a ticket
share"what I said in my OP rings true, ultimately he gave her many good things"
He did it in a horrible way. It was as if a rapist expected the woman to be happy with him because he did not kill her.
Her Uncle was in a position of power and could have given her and her mother an easier life. Instead he, for lack of a better word, blackmailed her into doing things.
