so the boy was ...............spoiler


a girl at the end??

reply

I think i Tatyana took the wrong child the end because she wasn't really sure which child it was at the orphanage.
She only worked out the age and place and i assume the boy and girl where same age and she got the wrong name.

wiki says it was his son. i am confused

Tatyana, deeply moved by the events, is shown in the last scene adopting Konstantin's son.

I assumed she took the wrong child - the end child is a girl and the other one shown was a part crippled boy.

reply

The cripple was a girl.

reply

your right - my mistake - I re-watched the ending and i must have missed the bit as the supposed cripple boy say to the cleaner '"I'm not a boy, my name is Tanya", so the cripple all along was Tatiana's backstory.

even so then Lyosha that Tatyana meets at the end was suppose to be a boy but the part played by a girl.

I think the boy we see the whole movie is Veshnyakov

possible

The boy is actually Tanya, I saw the movie with spanish subtitles and at the end they put in the subtitle: "I'm not a boy, I'm going with Tanya"... but than I saw the english version and the subtitles said: "I'm not a boy, my name is Tanya"

Ok, I'm watching a lot of videos traying to explain the end... the boy in wheelchair is Tanya as a child (all the scenes with this 'boy' are actually flashbacks). She was also in orphanage as a kid, was operated on (hence scars on her back), grew up fine and became a doctor.
And it is because of her childhood she wanted to help Konstantin and adopted the boy.

for some reason they thought she was a boy?

reply

wow good info. I only saw this once, and KNEW I missed something big going on there - the scar, the shoes for running, etc.... now it makes sense. busy READING subs, sometimes I miss visual clues

reply

Ugh, same happened to me.

It didn't help I was doing some work while also watching and missed a few of those visual clues.

I guess had I watched it more closely (or maybe for a second time) I might have spotted that. It's why you should never try to multi-task while watching a film that requires you to pay very close attention to what's going on.

Makes sense now, and I'm glad I spotted agaete's comment to help clarify that.

This thread is hilarious. Jesus Christ, people.

The girl was her as a kid. The boy was the astronaut's kid.

it was confusing
