Did You Know?
| Trivia | For many of the scenes involving drinking, the actors and director decided that they would drink for real, and the take that ended up being used in the movie was often the eighth or ninth take, after they had gotten really drunk and their movements and reactions were slower, which can be difficult for an actor to replicate.

Vasiliy:
Can you pull in Leviathan with a fishhook, or tie down its tongue with a rope? Will it keep begging you for mercy? Will it speak to you with gentle words? Nothing on Earth is its equal. It is king over all that are proud. See more » |
