      This film is not only a Soviet classic, but also a world classic! Worth watching!

      big surprise! This movie was so well done! Sure enough, it's a classic! Time to watch it twice more! It is also a movie recommended by Gao Xiaosong. This is a classic, and Star Wars is nonsense. Although it is a glimpse of the leopard, it can also be seen from the connotation and greatness of some Russian nations. Life, struggle, love, marriage, sincerity, lies. A good man does it himself. wise words! There are many more, can't remember. The scenes and lyrics at the end are also very...

      New Soviet style under the sitcom

      Female workers from other provinces in the capital, a light-hearted sitcom. Through the two life experiences of the three sisters who slept in the same bed for 58 years and 79 years, it shows the demeanor of socialist women, especially female model workers, suggesting that the new atmosphere of the Soviet Union is no worse than that of the West (at least in the movie). It satirizes philistines and intellectuals with hypocrisy, and praises the perseverance and simplicity of the working...

      What is life like?

      There are so many flavors in this film. I am at the age when Katerina pursued career and longed for love like in the beginning. This age will never lack setbacks and the sorrows associated with them. It is really gone forever, but life is really just beginning, or in other words, life will never end - even if you are old.
          The originally dull tone and bleak melody suddenly became vivid after the appearance of the flawless man. Even when Katerina cried and explained to her daughter the...

      some trivial thoughts

      After reading it, Moscow does not believe in tears. The beginning of the story is a bit hilarious and even a little ridiculous, and my first impression is a bit off - but without that farce there would be no later story. This is a middle-aged love story. "Life starts at the age of forty", at that time, life experience can already support the belief in life and talk about a passionate love.

      In the middle, I read the brief introduction first, and thought it was an enhanced version of...

      just talk

      The atmosphere created by the movie is very beautiful, very close to life, and you can immerse yourself in the scene with the characters when you watch it, which is one of the advantages of this movie. The function of this film is also very strong. After watching it, I feel that the world is so ingenious, beautiful, kindness and love in human nature, and finally happiness will be obtained.
