Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears
Today's movie, Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears by Vladimir Menshov reminded me a lot of our first movie we watch, Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath. The story lines were not the same but the music and a lot of the shots were the same. The ending scene with the building was also the same but I believe in Irony of Fate it was light out and not dark. I really liked how the film was divided up. Even though the film was quite long, I thought that there was a lot of wasted space in it. It explained everything very well and made it easier to understand. In the first part of the film, Lyudmila wants her life to be filled with riches. The easy way out. She was looking for a rich guy to give her everything she ever wanted. Antonina was a little more tricky to follow because she didn't seem to be a "main" person in the film. I felt that her relationship went alight throughout the whole movie. Even though Katya gets screwed over at the start of the film, she took it well and ending up doing well for herself at the end of the movie. I'm glad that she didn't take Rudolph back at the end! Gosha was quite a surprise! When he said he wants to move in and marry Katya after only knowing her for 44 hours and 22 minuets! He seemed to be shady about everything he did of his work, but I am glad that him and Katya ended up at the end.

Amen!!! I too am always amazed at how late and how powerfully Gosha makes his appearance in the film.
