A very good film about such an important period in the life of any child! I came across this film by chance while watching the filmography of George Millar (our famous Baba Yaga!). Here's the postman. My daughter was just finishing second grade and I thought it was weird to watch this movie without her. I convinced, and my daughter immediately remembered that she had read this story by Eugene Schwartz. Found, brought, I also read, the film is very close in text, literally word for word.
Good, bright film about children can not be uninteresting peers! When they look at something, they recognize their friends, they see the differences. You just have to prepare your child for an old movie like that. At breaks, the daughter said, “Great!” Tamara Makarova is such a strict beauty, just a miracle! Girls - cheerful and fast, as it should be at this age. And the arguments are shown, only it does not reach the fights, but this is not for the film of those years.
Marusya is a wayward “home” girl, the difficulties of getting used to a new life are shown well. Her friendship with the neighbor's boy, the story of duty, it's all interesting. By the way, pay attention to how it was in those years: they come to study in black aprons (work!), but the end of the school year - in white - is already a holiday. Sometimes it's just a thriller - little kids in the woods! Oh, these “organizers”, pushing the same kids to “feats”!
This film is a great opportunity to introduce the child to the life and life of those years. Yes, embellished, but also, given that it was a time of terrible post-war famine, so we told our daughter about it. That an egg on the table and pancakes are a luxury. Away from Moscow, who ate that? And the post-war man is most like just Millard, the rest of the species is quite prosperous. By the way, there is also Rostislav Plyatt playing - a scientist accidentally met by children.
Yes, the cult of personality, where without it in those years. Well, the portrait of Stalin was shown four times, not much at all. About Lenin in the hut added to the text of the script, it is also not surprising. And filmed, it seems, in the “House on the embankment”, so the audience wanted to see a good and beautiful life. And believe that they will soon have it too. In those days it was just necessary.
