Talk:Day Watch (film)

нет VS. NO

There's a piece down at the bottom describing the main character as writing "HET" on a wall... I believe that he didn't actually write HET, but нет, in which the first Russian character, an н is actually an N in that alphabet, and therefore, he would be writing NET, pronounced nyet. Anyone agree with this or am I wrong? And if I am right, should it be changed to нет, NET, or NYET (to clarify the correct pronounciation to readers)?

Arg... Not ANOTHER Night Watch related spelling conflict. Shoot me now. Seriously, though, I have no idea. - Richfife (talk) 00:08, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Eh, whatever then. If anyone comes along who actually speaks Russian and finds that I have it totally bass-ackwards, then hopefully they'll speak up. CounterfeitRedhead (talk) 23:20, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

It's fine the way it is now, although I've wondered whether or not it's really the "no" definition of the word (a message to himself in the past) or one of the other forms; "there is not", describing the history itself; since he's told to write what he wants with the chalk. Writing "no" doesn't really describe a want or desire, writing the rough equivalent of "not this" and in that location expresses something that word still means but which makes more sense, IMO. I don't speak Russian and can't recall how or if it was subtitled so that's just speculation but it somehow makes more sense to me. --A Shortfall Of Gravitas (talk) 07:30, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Looking for authors!

im looking for the authors of this article and people who have a very good knowledge of Night Watch, Day Watch and the books they are based upon. We are a company working on a commercial website about this movie. Please write to nightwatch.site@googlemail.com Thanks!

• Any chance we can find out what the company in question is? I, for one, am not terribly eager to give out my personal information to a mysterious party with an e-mail address from a free service provider. --Strannik 03:15, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
• Well, I read Night Watch, Day Watch and Twilight Watch novels in Russian and saw Night Watch and Day Watch films, but Strannink is right - "who are you, maaan?".. -- Jake7 22:16, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Fantasy vs. Sci-fi

As discussed on the Night Watch page, I'm switching the film's "sci-fi" classification to fantasy.--Our Bold Hero 02:53, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

It always surprises me that most people can't tell the difference between the two. I guess to them monsters and aliens, dragons and starships, fireballs and lasers, etc., are all the same. There is absolutely nothing "sci-fi" about "Night Watch". -- Chronolegion September 20, 2006.

UK Release

Does anybody know if this movie is going to be given a world-wide release? ThePeg 23:54, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

I thought it was already released in Europe. If not, I have no idea --Strannik 06:12, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

imdb release date info. What the hell is with the incredibly staggered release dates? There's a year between eastern and western Europe, and almost another year before it's opened worldwide. What the hell? Gorman 04:08, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Cuts in the US release.

Not sure if there is any place to keep these in a film article, but I figured I'd mention it. I just saw the film last night and two things stuck out.

Early in the film, Anton releives a light order tech guy and uses his computer to learn about the chalk and buy plane tickets, and is almost caught when he returns. In the US release this was trimmed to only anton working at the computer and buying plane tickets.

In both versions, when Svetlana follows Yegor into the second level gloom, Yegor sticks a pin into her. In the Russian release, during the fight in the Hotel he uses that pin to drink from her. Hewinsj 14:36, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

US DVD Release

I just watched the US DVD labeled "Daywatch: Unrated" this appears to be the original Russian cut as all of the scenes mentioned to be different are presented in this version. Additionally, there are standard subtitles instead of the fancy ones as I had seen in Nightwatch. May be worth a mention in the article. 66.92.50.167 (talk) 04:57, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Article name

Surely, this should be at Day Watch (film) and the article currently at Day Watch (novel) should be here? Seems bizarre to have them this way round. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.205.110.52 (talk) 13:22, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

screenplay authorship, edit request

Hi! I am the co-author of the movie, and, as you can probably imagine, it greatly chagrins authors when their work is downplayed or simply rendered nonexistent. The name is Alexander Talal (this exact spelling), my credit is acknowledged on IMDB and in the actual credits of the film. I am the same writer listed under this title Will appreciate the correction. Simply add Alexander Talal in the "Screenplay by" section. Thank you, Alexander 188.32.148.120 (talk) 11:38, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Those aren't technically considered reliable sources, This is a better one. Will add yourself and Lukyanenko. - Richfife (talk) 16:06, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Done. - Richfife (talk) 16:15, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
