Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears
This was one of the longer movies that we have watched but it held my interest for the most part. The film was about the life of a factory worker named Katerina. She falls in love with Rudolph but lies about what she does for a living. She gets pregnant and tells him the truth and he abandons her. Soon after this the film jumps ahead to Katerina who has worked up the chain in the factory to become an executive director. She eventually meets Gosha who falls in love with her. He is very humble and respective person. He wins her over by taking her on a pick nick where she meets his friends who highly respect him. I feel that what really won her over was that he didn't boast about his success and did little things that made her happy. At one point she is falling asleep on a chair so he covered her with a blanked. After things start going well between them Rudolph shows up and ends up getting Gosha to walk out on Katerina. In the end her friends go and talk to Gosha and get him to go back to her. This part i felt was a little unrealistic because he just went back and they didn't really talk about what had happened. In the film I liked that it was basically broken into two parts. This really helped it show how the decisions that are made earlier in life effect you later down the road. Katerina came from nothing but worked hard and was honest and became very successful. Her friend Lyudmila tried to cheat the system and married into wealth and fame but ended up miserable and alone. Overall I thought this was a good movie and I would defiantly go back and watch it again.

Im with you on the decision you make will affect you later in life. Something i see in Katerina is she lives in the moment to better her future, doning everything right and for the right reasons. Hard work pays off, taking the easy road is to risky.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly does pay off for her...though like she says, it could have been so easy for her to have not been on that train at that particular time and met Gosha... Would she have met him elsewhere (or someone else) if that hadn't happened? Something to wonder...
