	RusFilm-2004. Down House
		It marks one of the characteristics for which the critics have almost unanimously lambasted the film: it is constructed with the kind of childishly moronic humor that depends on sexual inadequacies, bodily functions, and public humiliation for its material.
		We are merely given an image of the famous author's visage alongside the title of the film, much as a modern-day writer's head shot might be provided on the dust-jacket of his latest historical potboiler.
		Down House is not based on Dostoevskii's novel at all; Down House quite simply is Dostoevskii's Idiot, reissued in visual form for a twenty-first-century audience.

	Villagers > Hank's House 1 > Burning Down the House
		The biggest factors in determining the longevity of simple houses are: (1) the location and setting of the house; (2) the type of foundation used; (3) the nature of the soil/substrate; and (4) the materials used in constructing the walls and roof.
		At Hank's house, all of the juniper roof support and wall posts were set directly into the ground and would have been subjected to slow deterioration due to wetting/drying and insects.
		If Hank's house were an earth lodge with a heavy earthen roof, one can easily see that big problems would eventually arise when the posts became too weak to support the weight of the roof.
