This lighthearted and humorous urban comedy was born in 1981, when the East and the West were divided by the Cold War, but the film crossed the boundaries of ideology, won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film that year, and won the praise of the world. After all, no matter what era we are in, human beings have the same pursuit of a beautiful love, which has nothing to do with the political system or level of development. And the movie is to answer such a proposition in life: how should we control our own happiness.
The heroine Katerina is just a female worker in a factory. She is smart, capable, studious, and has been working hard for her university dream. She and her friends are young girls recruited to the capital from small places, eager to become a true Muscovite, and marriage is of course an avenue worth considering. In order to get to know those excellent men, at the encouragement of their friends, they pretended to be the daughter of the professor together. Fortunately, they both met people who fell in love at first sight. The naive Katerina gave her everything for her sweetheart, but unfortunately this hypocritical and weak man only saw her identity as a professor daughter. After an accidental encounter, the truth came out, he left her, By the time Katerina was pregnant, she was in a doomed situation, like God's punishment for lying to her. But she was stubborn and finally rejected the pitiful mercy of him and his mother, insisting on supporting herself and her unborn child alone.
If the plot continues like this, it may become a cliché story of a female diaosi's big counterattack. But the movie did not exaggerate how Katerina worked hard to get ahead, and finally slapped the heartless person. The director cleverly used an alarm clock to directly switch the time to twenty years later. With her own efforts, Katerina became the factory manager of a big company and gained a decent social status, but she is not happy. She has a lover but no love, and she has a rich material life but still feels lonely. . She still cries secretly before going to bed, just like when she was young.
No amount of material can fill our thirsty hearts. Perhaps only love can make us feel truly happy. We are like lost children in the urban jungle, desperate for that little warmth, but always reluctant to admit that the real sense of security is not given by others. No city will reward you with happiness because of tears. After all, very few people are stunned by the pie falling from the sky, so what should we do? In a world where promises can be easily broken and rules are slowly dissipating, the film has its own answer: Moscow does not believe in tears, and only a brave and sincere person will find the final happiness.
In the second half of the film, Katerina encounters the dilemma of her youth again. A man who is not suitable for her condition and status breaks into her life. The difference is that this time she is on the stronger side. This man named Gosha was just a senior fitter, and a chance encounter on a train started a crazy pursuit of her. He is sunny, confident, hard-working and capable, and is a good candidate. He was a bit domineering to protect Katerina and her daughter, and she was happy to accept his protection, but she was afraid that he would leave after knowing his identity.
Luckily the movie ended with a happy ending. Despite the misunderstanding, with the help of Katerina's friends, Gosa calmly accepted this woman who was stronger than himself. At the end of the movie, Katerina's family of three sat around having dinner together. She looked at Gosha affectionately and murmured, "I've been looking for you for a long time, I really have been looking for you for a long time." Looking for love based on conditions and seeing how well two people are a good match is also a careful weighing of various conditions on the scale. Sometimes
I am afraid that I am too humble and others look down on me, and sometimes I am afraid that I am too good and others are under great pressure. It was not until a heart was riddled with holes that I suddenly realized that perhaps the key to the problem is whether that person really cares about you. Gosha in the movie also swore that men should be stronger than women, and he could also reject Katerina with the justifiable reason of deception. But in front of the people you really care about, all the conditions and reasons are like clouds.
A lot of times, we just look at a person as an identity, he is a handsome and rich man, he is a phoenix man, she is a senior white-collar worker, she is a dishwasher, but she is not willing to calm down, really to get to know a whole person. Look at the marriage introductions in the media now, they are all done exactly the same as the job resumes. The city is so huge, we just want to build a small harbor where we can rest. There is really no need to be so careful, so care about those external labels, and love as bravely and sincerely as you will never be hurt. No matter what, every experience will be a kind of growth for me. Twenty years later, Katerina once again met the man who abandoned her when she was young. This time, she is a successful career woman, he is a frustrated middle-aged man, Katerina doesn't have the pleasure of revenge, she just said to him lightly, "I still loved you very much at first, I think it is Your mother confused you. Then I hated you, and then I really wanted you to know what I achieved, so you know you were wrong, and now I think if it wasn't for the mess I was in, I would Nothing will be accomplished." Farewell to each other without a word.
After all, no one can predict what will happen in the future. Who dares to guarantee that the road of a lifetime will be magnanimous, even if it is true, how boring it should be. As the movie's theme song sings, Moscow wasn't built in a day, and life's road wasn't completed in a day. Believe that fate will send the most correct person to your side, or the so-called perfect ending is not necessarily a perfect person, but a state of mind that wipes away your tears, is full of hope, and is optimistic and strong.
