    2. Pros says:

      PHOTOSHOP ! FIRST !

    3. putin says:

      Absolutely bullshit!

    4. L3ST says:

      They stolen what? Mimics of the face and camera angles? That’s plain bullshit.

    5. sigh says:

      the guy in the top left pic is borat, no?

      • vodka says:

        NO that’s azamat bagatov, the producer who can not enter European union becaus of sex crimes.

        besides the similarities on the last two pictures are really striking:

        one white guy with hair in a suit —a bald and black guy wearing a tank top

        one guy looking to the left — one guy with suit, sunglasses and a pistol also looking to the left

    6. brem says:

      It looks like the movie Brazil too… I’m pretty sure !:)

    7. brem says:

      Does anybody say “whoa” in this other movie? If not, it’s bullshit :)

    8. Pete says:

      Ivan Tellalie strikes again!

    9. Guav says:

      Then some Russian bloggers are pretty fucking retarded.

    10. Guav says:

      OH MY GOD, The Matrix features a person talking on a phone! Surely it’s clear to everyone that Mesto Vstrechi pioneered that groundbreaking concept!

    11. Da Da! Phone in movie is Russian invention, LONG LIVE THE MOTHERLAND! a bear ate my genitals.

    12. tlkh says:

      It seems nobody here realized that it was a joke

    13. funny videos says:

      the movie is called “Mesto Vstrechi Izmenit Nelzya” which translates to “Place of meeting cannot be changed”.

      i dont see how they are the same.

    14. fartflash says:

      you stupid russians you think you are soo smart. you invented nothing. go back to believing in flying saucers.

    15. Unkn0wn says:

      Stop posting stupid shit like this.

    16. DungeonB says:

      omg camera angles, some one call up some copyright lawyers derr…

      frikken damn, it looked like an awful film.
      and hth does morpheus look anything like stalinette?

    17. yberlortto says:

      Sure, if this proves something, then all the movies are copied by russians.. And you who said russians havent invented anything, then anyone invented anything.. allmost every country have invented something that we use allmost every day in our lives :/

    18. Fat Bastard says:

      Wow, both movies had people in them…

    19. Mikhail Krug says:

      Hay! Shuddup or I gonna sing again! I invent sing, you invent shuddup!

    20. Hanke Graver says:

      The mentioned similarities seem rather accidental.

      It is a well known fact that the matrix movies where influenced by The Ghost in the Shell movie.
      You can see it, if you watch the movie.
      Especially the intro sequence and the last action scene that was copied into the first matrix movie.

      By the way, I do think that the mentioned Russian movie has a way better acting than the matrix.

      • tlkh says:

        You guys take this comparison too seriously. It is absolutely obviously a joke, and all this defence of matrix from non-existent attacks looks very funny.
        PS: This Russian movie is one of the best Russian TV miniseries, with a superb acting.

    21. The Saint says:

      wow!! that morpheus sure looks alot like that russian dude

    22. Karman says:

      As usually..overreaction.

    23. laidback says:

      “Mesto Vstrech Izmenit’ nel’zia” - 1979 year.
      Matrix - 1999 year.

    24. Epsilon says:

      Wow!!!!! Some people are slow to get a humor!

    25. mrpman says:

      they also copied from two movies called mindwarp and darkdrive

    26. aleccos says:

      Russian bloggers can say what they want! The film was based on the writings of Plato -student of Socrates-, named {The cave with the Shadows}! The ancient Greeks knew!!!

    27. mr soup says:

      no they are not.

    28. [...] Matrix rips off a Russian movie [EnglishRussia.com] [...]

    29. poorgrad says:

      Bullshit, but Matrix did get quite a bit of ideas from Ghost in the Shell

      • Shep says:

        Matrix ripped shamelessly (and badly) from William Gibson. If you happen to have read “Neuromancer” or “Mona Lisa Overdrive”, you’ll know what I mean. P.S Some of you lot really don’t seem to have calibrated your sense of humour properly… :-’(

    30. Kalasnikov says:

      Yeah.. the communits are fucked thiefs… maybe Neo come and kill them all in Russia!!
