occasionally go online to buy a piece of the former Soviet movie "twist of fate", she said the story is accidentally become lovers I remember watching this movie on TV when I was a child, but I forgot the specific plot. I only remember that the male protagonist flew from Moscow to Leningrad and came to the same street with the same house number as his home, and even the keys were the same. , I thought it was my own home who went to sleep in someone else’s home, but was discovered by the beautiful heroine.



The poster of "The Trick of Fate"

recalled this story about fate. Although it was a comedy from the former Soviet Union, I managed to buy the disc and watch it again.

The protagonist is a doctor about to get married, but on New Year's Eve, he was drunk with his friends and was sent on a plane to Leningrad. Drunk, he came to the same place as his own home, thinking that he was back at his own home in Moscow.

(Each city in the Soviet Union at that time had the same road name, and many houses were designed according to standardization, and they were almost exactly the same-in fact, why not in many places in China? Which city did not have Yan'an Road, Zhongshan Road, Jiefang Road What about Renmin Road? The studios built in the 1970s and 1980s are all the same, so don't think that it was an absurd arrangement by the director. Perhaps such a thing will happen to you one day. I hope you don't get drunk. ) The

protagonist slept on someone else’s bed, but was driven off by the heroine. Soon the heroine’s lover arrived (he came to propose to the heroine), and the protagonist’s fiancee was anxiously waiting for her groom in Moscow. This special New Year’s Day is like you go to a stranger’s home to have a New Year’s Eve dinner, and they happen to be married.

As a result, various misunderstandings occurred. The heroine became more and more unexplainable, and eventually lost the heroine's affection and cried the bride who was waiting for him in Moscow.

Fortunately, the male protagonist can play guitar, and the female protagonist is also good at it. There are six or seven large sections of guitar playing and singing in the whole movie, all of which are Russian national style melody, which is really good.

Thus, the hero and heroine fell in love on this strange New Year's Eve.

Although the hero still returned to Moscow after dawn, when he lay in his home thinking it was just a dream, his Leningrad lover opened his door with his key.

Ryazanov’s work "The Trick of Fate", although it may seem like an impossible coincidence, has many inherent inevitability and logic, such as the same urban planning and houses of that era, men who were drunk and vacant. Women, there is also the instinctive desire for adventure in people's hearts, that kind of romance in the bones-unexpected and reasonable.

Everything is destiny, and destiny is playing tricks on each of us.

What's interesting is that the male protagonist looks exactly like Putin. Considering that it is a 1975 movie, will he be Putin's distant brother?
