Alyoshka dreamed of working with geologists, and then to enter the Institute, but abandoned him on a prosaic drilling room. People there are harsh, cynical, in the work of no romance. Probably, Alyoha would soon run away from the production workers, if he did not meet the beautiful Zinka at the move. Girl, I must say, fire. And from the cavaliers, she manages to fight off almost with sticks. She's seen men and she knows. And here's a kind of specimen: comes to her, swinging 10, 15 or even 20 kilometers. Comes and says nothing. What do we do about it? He does not hug, he does not kiss in a hurry. Zinka is pushing him, and Alyoshka doesn't like it either.
It would seem boring to watch such a hero, especially if you do not like Leonid Bykov, who plays Alyoshka. There's a kind of mummy walking, looking into the blue distance, you can't get words from him. You can't get away with it. Something is chaining, you wait and wait - how the case ends. And it ends very well. Aleshkin’s character is revealed in all its breadth and strength, and you understand that he is a man!
Serious, his word and feelings master, scoundrels are not afraid, his line is bent. And he has a straight line that few people walk on today. And when we see Zinka at the end, who came to Alyoshka, we are no longer surprised what led her to him. In general, if you have not seen whole-bred men for a long time, then you can watch Aleshkin’s Love.
And there is a lot of cute here: first love - with ' first look', youth and youth of the country just recovered from years of troubles, the eternal confrontation of the intellectual-man, where, thanks to the presentation of the film crew, the viewer certainly will not correlate with ' man'. And Leonid Bykov also perfectly exists in his usual role. And the high feelings-relationships shown in this film add to the heat of the mi-mi-shy. . .
But if you analyze the shown by ' bones', by components - you can see a slightly different picture.
The character of Bykov is a kind of romantic citizen, whose similarity to others and twists not only the plot, but also the love line too - after all, it is the difference from vulgar suitors that impressed the heroine of Alexandra Zavyalova - in contrast to the behavior, a possible difference in attitude is also visible - certainly not the usual desert-steppe three: vodka, dancing, squeezers. Let's take a closer look at Alexei - who is he? He does not get along with the team, does not know how to work ' inventing ' constantly his own rules of this work is why - then the bed on the steppe is looking for, then inadvertently dirty - showing all the behavior - Since you say I will not work! It is tau you with a small letter, and I with a large one that feel where my thought is headed? Next - self-admiration with music and sunsets. Further, the fear of talking to a girl is not the ability to accept rejection of your person. Choosing the goal of love - an unfamiliar girl - only at your own will, without communication with her and the interaction of two personalities, understanding, empathy, interest in the person - there is no pure applied selfishness - I want and that's it! And further ' courtship' - all ' just in line'. Torturing recognition is addictive! Good quality for a man - no! What is interesting: the age-old artist - relative to the age of his hero - ' squash' notes ' experienced' Matchmaker from ' Aty-baty...' - and characteristic strokes fall on the character - the commander's tone of the snotty who did not deserve a good attitude of the team! Yes, and the scene of defending Zina from Nikolai has a shade of protection ' his own ' property - after all ' having lost ' the fight he is hard going through walking on the fields - although from the moral side everything seems clear - he is right.
Here we smoothly approached the question of fullness of meanings. Its main meaning is selfishness, not the ability to work collectively and the absence of any ideologicalness beyond itself. Which is very different from the character Bolotbek Shamshiev in 'Znoe' Larisa Shepitko – who, with all his youthful contraversion, is directed not at himself, but at more general meanings. . .
As we see the Soviet cinema of the 60s more and more aimed at individualism and nurturing ' sensibility' moving away from social themes, replacing rational and personal, romanticizing it. Talented and vividly romanticizing - so that most immigrants from the Soviet Union do not have dissonance in perception - thereby justifying the character and his actions, introducing them into general cultural circulation. Here, a question to mother-in-law and father-in-law - Do you see this hero in the suitors?

Apparently, by 1960, Khrushchev had already managed to set up rural clubs, so this film is focused primarily on village viewers of the time. There is something rude, undisguised, charming and real about it. At that time, most of the population was not in the city.
The film is similar to 2006’s “Euphoria,” or rather the opposite. On the rig, all the workers from the village and only one, the main character, whom Bykov plays, is the city. If you look only at faces, it is the opposite. The film is quite bold for the Soviet period, concerns love, family, extramarital relations.
Faces around all familiar - Yuri Belyaev, Ivan Ryzhov, Alexei Gribov. I don't know why I haven't seen this movie before, I don't remember seeing it in the '80s. "Aleshkina Love" is associated with a song, which, as it turned out, is completely from another film. Sometimes the movie is funny, but most of the time you laugh at things that are not funny. The meanings in Aleshkina Love can be caught a lot, but, again, about the same topic. So I can’t tell you in advance if someone needs a movie like this right now.
By the way, the film is very Russian. On the subject of taming the beauties, which we have elephants on a gallop stop and with them break into burning huts, there are many instructions in films and literature. I knew I had to follow them and do nothing. Until they do something themselves.
People all their lives seek answers to questions. Most often it is something ordinary and everyday: “what to wear?”, “what to eat?”, “to buy or not?”. The answers lie on the surface and do not make you think too long (if you do not take into account individual cases). But sometimes we begin to worry about something much more global: “What is the meaning of life?”, “How to determine your calling?”, “What is love?”. About love, I believe, sooner or later everyone begins to think, trying to figure out where to find it, how not to lose, and most importantly - how to understand that this is the real thing! And here an inquisitive person has somewhere to walk around - many books, poems have been written about true love, a variety of films have been shot, it is constantly mentioned on the pages of magazines and in TV programs. We know that it is there, that it is nearby, but one clear pattern that she did not come up with. In most cases, love seems to us something incredible and high-flown, the search for which is not a pity and spend a lifetime. We want to know love, we seek it, we seek it at every opportunity, everywhere and in everyone. And when we find it, we realize it's not her at all. That our relationship is not like the plot of the book, where the characters perform incredible feats in the name of their feelings, which does not turn the soul, as in the movie, where heated quarrels are replaced by passionate reconciliation. Love has become something very picturesque and pathetic, where it is necessary to season everything with bright paraphernalia, loud promises and passionate confessions. The other is often unfamiliar to us, we are not used to it, and therefore we do not have unambiguous answers to the question “What is love?” No, that there is love is indisputable, but here is what it is.
And the answer here may be the film “Aleshkin’s Love”. There is nothing false and contrived in it, everything is very simple, as it should be. Here lives a simple guy - Alyosha, modest, polite, loves good music and does not wish harm to anyone. It seems that he is not remarkable in anything - naive and sloppy besides, even he cannot cook lunch. Here lives a wayward girl - Zina, a beauty, not from a timid ten, boyfriends do not linger for so long, no one loves her. What can these two people have in common? It would seem like nothing. And here comes the occasion. An event that, after a while, will turn into a love that just language does not turn to call fake. Which leads Alyosha to Zinka in any weather and under any circumstances. The love of a guy is a real emotional impulse, which can not be hindered by the ridicule of friends, distance, rain, or even the initial coldness and alienation of Zina herself. It is a love that will overcome all obstacles and that we will do nothing about. Returning from a date, Alexei does not pay attention to the fact that his bed is soaked after the rain, he is warmed by feelings. And in the future, these feelings are respected by everyone: both the heroes of the film and us – the audience. It is nice to see how initially timid Alyosha turns into a real man who can stand up for the girl he is in love with and defend his feelings towards her. There is no doubt that this is true love, although not quite in the format to which we are accustomed, but pure and sincere, beyond vulgarity and prejudices. The love that is worth waiting for, and when it appears, not afraid to walk a thousand steps towards it. And there is no doubt that she will walk the same path towards you.
It should be shown to teenagers, but hardly anyone from the Ministry of Education will worry about it. If you have children, do it yourself.
The picture is not at all outdated: and fifty years ago, many people thought of entertainment rather than responsibility.
The protagonist, whom everyone considers a naive eccentric, poorly adapted for life, eventually demonstrates an extraordinary strength of character, coming from inner integrity and purity. And all his surroundings, who considered themselves intelligent and experienced, are reborn and rediscover both the world and their own soul.
To the credit of the filmmakers, there is neither moralizing nor boredom in the story we have seen. Leonid Bykov opens our soul and is not afraid to be ridiculed or accused of old-fashionedness. There are very few such actors.
It always amazes me when an old, old movie looks so interesting today, in one breath. After all, technology has gone ahead, and the sophisticated viewer of what just did not see.
And yet, if authors have something to say, they say it, even in the most modest of ways and in the simplest of ways. Such films are seen directly in the soul. Thank you for this light.
As long as a person is able to think, to think, to feel, to not subside disputes about love. In the 60s, of course, there were people who did not disdain the abuse of short ties, like Nikolai from the film Aleshkina Love. But there were their Alyoshki, for whom one single woman was an integral part of life, like a head, hand, heart. And for this desire, to show not just a bright feeling a la love carrot, you need to say thank you to the creators of the picture. Offer now a young guy to go on a date to his beloved on foot 30 km away, he will laugh to colic, to tears. Although it is probably impossible to all under the same comb, there are still people capable of decisive action.
The film is black and white, but this color palette in no way interferes with the perception of events and people on the screen, especially since such films, they are like life-giving juice, bring you back to life. It is much easier and easier to follow the path of least resistance, as many people do now and when a dozen characters from the movie Aleshkina Love did. In a word, men, what to take from them. I saw a skirt and my soul went to heaven. The drivers and geologists in the film are made of exactly the same dough as many other men. Maybe even more prone to debauchery. We will not condemn them, because we are not without sin, but such people as the image of Alyoshka, wonderfully put into practice by Leonid Bykov, should be taken into service. It is no coincidence that Alyoshka says to his colleagues at work:
- Why would I want his face? This is a situation in which one of the workers tried to humiliate his beloved woman. Alyoshka’s words are not pontificates, they are boundless faith in a real bright feeling. And we see that the consciousness of these coarse men is changing. This is the meaning of the film and the spiritual and moral message.

Maestro of cinema and sky, Leonid Bykov, I was interested, as, probably, many because of the film "In battle go only the "old men". Reviewing it for the fifth time in a day, without a break, I thought: “What else did Titarenko take Comask 2?”. I wanted to open my favorite movie...
As they say, I was only interested in Leonid Bykov - and then rushed!
“Aty-bats, soldiers came,” ironic and mocking, simple and rude Vitka Svyatkin – Swat. He was like Titarenko: they both never lost their sense of humor and presence of spirit, were a little mocking – of course, kindly, and very strong morally. I already thought that Bykov had all such roles (I will not hide: this image went to him indecently, just like the Maestro, who was carelessly cast on the shoulders of a gymnast), but then I watched “Love for Alyoshkin”...
This is an amazing film, gentlemen of the jury.
Quiet and calm, there are no particularly sharp moments, no action scenes. There is Alyoshka, who, with the silent stubbornness and dreamy sad eyes of a wounded horse, comes to the same place day after day and just looks at his Zinka. Did it belong to him even for a moment? . .
Yeah. When all Aleshkin’s temporary colleagues looked at them, when he said: “Let them look.” It only belonged to him for a few moments at the very end of the film, and – so I like to believe! – for many years after it ended. I can't believe, I don't want to believe that this love has faded over time. I do not want to, because Alyoshka has become for me a standard of how to treat a woman. How to get a woman. Let the young men who are reading this answer the question: could you, just to see your beloved girl, wind nine kilometers every day? . .
In this film, everything is at its height - and the acting (sometimes I, a fifteen-year-old girl, have a feeling that there were no bad artists in the USSR), and the atmosphere, restrained and surprisingly soft, and the script, and... And, and, and... Oh my God, everything in this movie is great!
Such pictures will never be loved by millions of viewers. Because such films should be watched with a special attitude, and such (undoubtedly beautiful) comedies as that of Gaidai will fall on the soul in any state. This movie is too lyrical, perhaps.
But for me, "Aleshkina Love" is a favorite film, and a favorite love story. Where's Romeo and Juliet? . .
The best film about love in the Soviet, at least in the post-Soviet space. Making a beluga roar in the last shots. Envy or something. Such white and cloudless as the sky above the steppe (you can see right on view)
And here you believe in this love and do not consider it cinematic and implausible.
To twist the mileage with your own legs just to see the girl you like - why not? Reciprocate, believing in the sincerity of the feelings of a stubborn guy is real. That’s how it used to be...
All actors don't play, they live. But I love Zavyalova. He will see, and he will see, and he will see the earth. "Brilliant Shooter"! Hmm. With such a vulnerable soul that she does not need to live in a half-machine, but in a dollhouse. Not believing in the nobility of the male sex and the fullness of the little finger. And here... Alyoshka with her love. A staunch tin soldier with calf eyes. And no one and nothing afraid of boy-baba turns into a girl embarrassed by other people's views. (Oh, God damn little shot this actress!)
If I could, I would put 12 out of 10.

An amazing story of pure and bright love of a shy driller and a mischievous sniper. Typical story for the cinema of the USSR. In our time, alas, this is no longer removed, and it is unlikely that the viewer will understand if removed.
The film is permeated with morality and moral teaching, but everything is presented in a very soft style without any coercion. As a result, the viewer will still come to the same thing that all the friends of the main character came to - it is for this kind of love worth living.
Unfortunately, today's young people are hardly able to appreciate such a movie, although the truths it speaks of are eternal. They are simply too simple and do not shine, because they do not attract at first sight. The only hope is that young people will still watch this movie for the sake of amazing acting. After all, such talented people as Leonid Bykov are not born often - and it is worth seeing. And who knows...
