Please note that this particular movie has much of its nuances and sensibilities
conveyed in the particular expressions in the vernacular of the English language
that expressions come from now and then that makes a lot of meaning which is lost
in translation. As such it is going to only be mainly appreciated I suspect by
those that are fluent enough in English to follow along the British dialogue in
the movie without too much difficulty as it were, despite several language
offerings of it for you additionally here.

Russia House comes from a brilliant piece of writing by John Le Carre.

It is a message for the uniting of human beings in a common cause - survival of
those that deserve to be free to follow their conscience and place the welfare of
the human race above political considerations or loyalties that are limited in
vision as a result particularly perhaps of a brand of bigotry of sorts - that
caliber that tends to breed nationalism above humanism of the best spirit in fact.

The message of the movie is that the Russian woman that is played by Michelle
Pfeiffer so beautifully is a woman for whom we must be prepared to stake our
futures altogether. We must be as much for her as we are for anyone else on this
earth. That is the decision that Sean Connery's character makes in this movie in
his bid to assure that mutual deterrence is at least maintained so as to secure
Russia against those that might strike her without just cause. This is his
response to being asked to be a "decent human being" by the Russian character in
the movie that is his source of intelligence in the provision of possible secret
information of great value in fact. There is after all no greater cause for which
we might choose to live than to preserve Michelle Pfeiffer from all that would
threaten her in what would be a carnage of the human spirit. Sean Connery's
character is therefore acting in good conscience for us all in making our world a
better place to be based on good sense alone. She additionally certainly inspired
romantic love and passion and no doubt this factors in for Connery's character in
the movie additionally.

It was sad to see how little Russia was aided in its drive towards democracy and a
free economy at a time when help was most needed. This is something that shouldn't
escape notice as it suggests that we do not at present follow the best advice on
the world stage for lack of leadership that has true and real wisdom as is the
sort demonstrated by taking the message of this movie to heart. It is my most
sincere hope and desire that this will in fact change and soon and indeed forever
more. The Russians are uniquely beautiful in Europe in what is both physical
European, and spiritual beauty of the real Irish spirited heart!
