Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears Москва слезам не верит (1980)" works from the former Soviet Union! Is this the first time I've rewatched it? How many times?
But I’ve never written it seriously before, so let’s write it today. It’s a search for the shadow of our past history, and it’s also a search for something behind impetuousness!
Moscow does not believe in tears, does it believe in love? believe in life?
The first part of the film, the depiction of Moscow in 1958, makes people feel the time in our country in the mid-1960s and 1970s!
Poems were read aloud in the square, and the red armbands on the street blocked the too intimate behavior of young men and women.
Oh, and of course the workers' dormitories and the high-rise elevator apartments that looked very fancy back then! I remembered that the first time I took the elevator was to go to the 8th floor, the elevator of an old house, the kind of iron gate slammed, huh---started to rise!
In this film, the three characters who have changed from girls to aunts are from areas outside Moscow (small cities or rural migrant workers). They used to live in the same dormitory. They have different visions and struggles, and of course they have different Destiny:
---- Katerina, a beautiful, smart, capable, puncher in a machinery factory, proficient in pondering, hard-working, and able to solve problems such as equipment failures at work by herself. Of course, like many young people, he admires movie stars and the like, and hopes that his future husband will be such a person.
----Maria, a painter, is a girl with traditional concepts, hoping to have a reliable partner and build a happy family. So he seriously married his boyfriend Nikolai, a sixth-level mechanic.
----Lyudmila, a baker, has a warm, open personality, and is very vain. She wants to use her youth to be a "top lottery" in Moscow, climb up the upper class, and get a pampered life, so she makes friends with those chasing butterflies. The senior man, finally won the popular ice hockey star!
The results of it? The ordinary people finally get their wish, husband and wife families are as ordinary and ordinary as thousands of ordinary people!
The vanity relies on making up lies and finally all illusions are shattered. The popular ice hockey star always has a day when he is not popular, and the alcoholism makes him lose all opportunities, and finally falls apart and has to start from scratch!
Katerina, the protagonist, got a degree because of her love to learn, and she became the leader of a 3,000-strong factory because of her hard work; Be a single parent and unmarried mother early!
Can Moscow believe in love? Come to think of it, here it seems, the answer is clear!
The story continues, the late 70's and the 80's air is blowing into Moscow!
Speculators have never been able to obtain the so-called "very good way of life", but they will unabashedly flirt with a general when facing a general; the
female factory director is not willing to be a married man's private house, let alone be alone. Guarding the years alone, weeping wet pillows in the dark night;
plain ones, plain, also plain!
Finally, Katerina met the man Guosha by chance. At first, she didn't like Guosha, even a little disgusted. However, this person was crisp, decisive, and rhythmic with a sense of urgency. Her practical character deeply moved her!
By the time she was invited to the picnic, she was already deeply in love.
"At the age of forty, I feel that life has just begun."
After tasting the taste of love again, Katerina felt the joy when everything returned, and the eagerness to move forward with her beloved partner in the new life.
Although there have been small twists and turns since then, but with the help of friends, everything is developing as expected!
Can Moscow believe in life? I think, still can't believe it!
So what to believe?
Self-development, self-seeking, self-struggle!
Moscow believes in itself! Moscow wasn't built in a day!
