Talk:Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka (Vechera na khutore bliz Dikanki)

Per the Rules, the exceptions to the one firearm rule include:

1) the firearm is identifiable, well seen and important to the story. A film where 'some character' wields an 'unknown revolver' means nothing.

2) it has enough screen time for any viewer to wonder what make or model it is.

3) it must drive the plot forward and not be an 'incidental' prop (like something hanging on the wall in the background). (a) If it is in the background, it must be 'interesting enough' to merit someone asking the question 'what is that?' Thus if it has enough screen time and it is identifiable, it qualifies. If it is a random 'set dressing' or a 'shape' held by a extra, then it does not qualify.

4) the single firearm rule only applies if the firearm is real. If it is an obvious toy or airsoft gun, then it does not qualify. Having a lone character wave around an 'orange plug' airsoft toy does not merit a page. If the film is filled with various replica or high quality airsoft weapons than can fool the casual viewer, then it qualifies, if only to shine light upon the fact that the guns are fakes.

I don't think any of these apply to the one firearm in this film. --Funkychinaman (talk) 13:42, 4 December 2014 (EST)

But, it's real cossack's flintlock pistol. Pyramid Silent (talk) 13:46, 4 December 2014 (EST)

That's irrelevant if it stays in his belt the entire film. --Funkychinaman (talk) 13:47, 4 December 2014 (EST)

So, this film is not eligible? Pyramid Silent (talk) 13:52, 4 December 2014 (EST)

If this is the only gun and it's basically just part of the guy's costume, then no. --Funkychinaman (talk) 13:59, 4 December 2014 (EST)

This film doesn't contain another firearms. Pyramid Silent (talk) 14:05, 4 December 2014 (EST)
