Although this is probably the most popular movie among Chinese audiences among Soviet movies.
My favorite Soviet movie is "The Station for Two". I watched it no less than 50 times, and I shed tears every time.
But for this one, I only watched it once, and didn't want to watch it again.
The reason is that I think this is the end of Soviet film idealism. Since then, it has entered the era of so-called reflection and new thinking, the era of Vera and confession, and finally the appearance of international girls.
The main reason I dislike this movie is that it is trying to tell a Hollywood-style inspirational story in the United States. It is a revisionism in literature and art, which is in line with the Westernized mentality of the Soviets at the time.
Three girls from other provinces rushed to the metropolis together, and experienced the ups and downs of life, some succeeded and some failed, and finally ended with the victory of love.
Is this kind of routine that we see is indispensable, Moscow does not believe in tears, New York does not believe in tears, Beijing does not believe in tears, the world changes for you, my struggle.
There are too many such things.
So I see this movie as a harbinger of the unrest in the Soviet Union.
Obviously, when Soviet literature and art abandoned the great spirit of the Russian national tradition to save mankind, weakened the group and highlighted the individual, then it was the end of the Soviet Union.
All nations with Eastern traditions must experience the disintegration of collectivism if they want to imitate Western individualism. They no longer believe in a grand ideal goal, but hope for personal liberation. But this kind of personal stuff is inconsistent with Eastern culture. The advantage of Eastern culture lies in religious salvation, which is related to tyranny.
The greatest Russian writers in my memory are all giants whose goal is to save mankind and discover the truth. They are like the vast Russian land, depressed and solemn, with extraordinary power and influence. The beauty of Russia lies in his The breadth and thickness lies in the combination of his icy cold and the gypsy wildness under the southern sun. It lies in contradictions, an inharmonious but magnificent beauty because of contradictions.
When the Russians no longer yearn for the ultimate salvation of mankind and start to pay attention to their own personal interests, they are no longer great.
Are there so-called Russian films after the Soviet Union?
Mostly it is nothing better than the Chinese copycat version of plagiarism from the United States.
When I happened to see a Russian entertainment show on TV that imitated the American and Western European style, people were singing Americanized pop songs in Russian, I felt very uncomfortable and turned off the TV.
When Russia went west, they lost their appeal. Probably only Peter the Great could achieve the kind of Westernization that does not affect people's fighting spirit.
The world is America.
This is a sentence I saw.
The United States is the world. How many countries are not trying to imitate the United States.
The problem is that the United States cannot imitate.
The Soviet Union has been imitating the United States after Stalin. When they finally abandoned the Eastern traditions and returned to the West, they found that they were still not believed Easterners, and they were Westerners in the East.
So I believe that if Russia wants to regain its greatness, it must return to the grasslands, not to New York. Like Dostoyevsky, he violently opposed the Westernizationists and promoted it to the East. I believe in Russia!
If Russia wants to be strong, it must return to the East to counter the West.
The other reason I don't like this movie is that it doesn't touch me the most, and it has always been the spirit of suffering that Russian art has instilled in me.
At best, it is the personal struggle of an unmarried mother. I don't see salvation and noble themes in it, like the cliché of a foreign girl becoming a boss, rather than the charming happy star that I look up to in a Siberian mine.
If you cannot understand this spirit of suffering, where is the soul of Russia without this spirit. Religion has been overthrown, what else is there?
In the past, I really wanted to travel to Russia to see the birch forest and churches, but when I thought of seeing some American chain stores there, I immediately lost interest.
If what I am looking for is not something of a spiritual nature, what difference does it make?
I watched this movie when I was a teenager, and now people don’t write down their feelings until middle age, which can be regarded as a kind of commemoration and farewell.
In fact, this story is nothing more than telling us what a French king said, true love can only exist at a certain age, because the closer a person is to the end of life
and the realization of the impermanence of life, will he be incisive and desperate. Crazy enjoyment of desire.
When most people are young, they think too much rather than too little.
