I seen lots of soviet movies and this is a nice story, but it does not have the t a s t e of postwar situation, just interesting interpretation of nowdays filmaker's how they try to show that period. For me that time always will be better reflected in older real soviet movies. Of course, then corruption to show would been impossible, but still the spirit, the taste is missing how i imagine postwar people. Still a nice movie, shed a tear is a must, so emotionally got it to me too :)
I\ve watched about 4-5 russian movies till now and they all fuck me up hhh..the way the plot of the movies are written is so much diffrent than american movies, russian movies are way much complicated and emotionally packed... there's no perfect heros here neither there is aperfect happy ending.
@jiffyyoyo It was filmed in Crimea, Ukraine, mostly near Sevastopol, I think. The final scene where he's taking the baby to Lida, is along the coast in Fiolent (I think). I was there last summer and it looked exactly the same and I tried to find the exact location but it was probably a few kilometers up the coast from where we were.
@doomownage94 Moral of the story?? ...hard to say ...shit happens to good people? I think he will come back after he tries to 'set things right' somehow with the murder of the general and Vera. Can't imagine what he can do though. The bad guys were trying to get the information the general had implicating a high KGB official as responsible for letting the ship burn and sink years before. Watch it again, it's not really so confusing. :)
@Hogums Yeah, Vera started out as a spoiled brat, but it was just an angry protective shell. I think the driver was a class guy, who genuinely loved her, and had very high principles, was always trying to do what was right.
Russians make great movies.Actually they are the pioneers of modern day cinema.With classics like Battleship Potemkin, Alexander Nevsky and Ivan_the_Terrible.Modern day cinema owes a lot to Sergei Mikhailovich Eisenstein,a true genius of the times.
wtf?! soo what happens thenn!? annd soo did he rape her or notttt annd were they doing it before anyhow?! aghhhh mann that was confusing but either way an ausome and great movie!
@BijiApoCheHugoChavez Please keep in mind that it is a post-war period...we lost millions of people, especially men. It was REALLY HARD for women to find a soul mate. She needed someone desperately...for her it was not a rape, it was almost a necessity.
@BijiApoCheHugoChavez I say he didn't rape her, she wanted it also, basically from the moment they met, but I don't think they ever did before then. That's why it was such a powerful scene because it was a release of all their emotions: mutual attraction, but not love, finally doing what they had thought of many times plus anger and frustration at their 'low' status, working in a 'high' status family. A brilliant scene.
music , story, scene ... what a great film

I was able to follow the story without looking so much at the subtitles. I felt bad for Vera. The driver loved her and felt bad for him in the end.
