It wouldn't make sense to make a movie about Nicholas and Alexandra and not get the children in correctly. Their children made up the majority of their lives. Therefore; it wouldn't be an accurate film without them.

Actually it makes perfect sense to make a movie and not get the children (or anything else) in correctly.

Some here are apparently operating w/ a misconception of what a movie is.  A movie such as Nicholas and Alexandra is simply an entertainment product produced to make money.  Liberties are taken to make it more entertaining and more profitable.  People can expect other things, such as historical accuracy, and the makers can even claim other motives, but that is the be all and end all of the movie genre in general.

It's understandable some folks here may expect the historical facts not to be messed w/, but that is a bit naive and really only setting yourself up for disappointment.  Better to just enjoy (if you can) and note w/ amusement where the script wanders from reality.  JMHO

And if you get really worked up by the mauling of history you can always post here or leave comments on IMDB.  ;D

Yep.. that's why we're trying talking about it on this thread.

NAOTMAA Fan:
Touché Holly!

dmitri:
OTMA were not really important in the film Nicholas and Alexandra. This was the story of their parents and not OTMA. It dealt with a number of major personal and political situations for Nicholas and Alexandra. It never pretended to be comprehensive. If it had done so it would have needed to be a mini-series and to started in perhaps 1894. Certainly much was left out that concerned Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna, a more important figure in Russian history than OTMA, plus of course the sisters and brother of Nicholas II.
