Russian term or phrase: рыдать у экранов
Размах, с которым американцы преподнесли свою трагедию о 3 тысячах убитых, превышает все потуги нашего искусства донести привкус двадцатимиллионной потери.
Но, собственно, никто не виноват, что отечественный кинематограф настолько слаб, что наши люди рыдают у экранов «на чужих похоронах».
