“I’ll sing a song like the wind, fill the country.” The song is inseparable from the life of the people. It arose not by chance, but as a response of the soul to the transience of our life. Emotions elevate us to divine empirees, but they are extremely short-lived, unlike a song (especially a folk song), which can elicit the necessary emotions as many times as it is played. The feature film about the song filmed a lot, including film almanacs, but the picture "Comrade Song" stands as if alone in this row, if only because the script was written by the Soviet poet, author of the words of many famous Soviet songs Yevgeny Aronovich Dolmatovsky. I don’t know exactly how the script was written: whether the finished song preceded the “text part” or whether the prose episode was “fitted” to the content of the song. It doesn't matter. It does not matter what was invented in the novels, and what actually happened. The main thing is the result. And the result is that the song – no matter how hard it may be – has long been an inseparable part of our lives, and remove some higher powers from everyday life – who knows how poor we would become.
"Song-password". The beginning looks somewhat strange and even caricatured in the part where Lieutenant Marchenko (Gennady Krasheninnikov) tries to remember the motive of the song proposed by the colonel. A military man is obligated to obey the commander’s orders without question, and the argument “a bear has come in my ear” (even five times!) does not work here. They said, "Should!" means they should. Filmed perfectly with an emphasis on small details and with a central emotional scene (blind boy).
"Love must be in a custom envelope." Half a day has passed and I'm waiting. One more time, please check! I'll come back to you in an hour. To demand, to demand, I pass, I'm in a hurry ...
"Song of the Mother". Very interesting novel in construction and in detail. Having seen a black pilot on the screen, I was sure that he was a student of the Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia (established by the resolution of the Council of Ministers of the USSR of February 5, 1960), but everything turned out to be different. (Would you like to know where they were filmed?) Very interesting details in the form of the same tape recorder. The novel also has an emotional core. I don’t know if it’s accidental or not, but he’s in a certain way connected to the boy from the Password Song, left without a guide.
"Flying away again ..." Over the mountains, over the seas, over the seas. It’s not fun for everyone, especially an old mom. You stand in the wind and the handkerchief is down on your shoulders. Don’t be sad, I’ll fly in the morning, and maybe I’ll come back only in the evening.
"Song at Dawn". A wonderful miniature, perfectly conveying the atmosphere of the "liberated" 60s - a riot of feelings, a bubbling of emotions! Extremely bright, spiritual play by Vasily Lanovoy! And yet, “Song at Dawn” is the only novel in the collection, with the plot of which I strongly disagree. I understand that Evgeny Dolmatovsky did not create “hlager” songs, but nevertheless, the content of the novella very much “lands” the viewer, internally hoping – after the first romantic shots – for a beautiful continuation of the story. Why the writer treated the characters this way is unclear. Therefore, the character of Peter Kondratov (Valerian Vinogradov) is completely antipathetic to me - after all, he did not write the song, but took full advantage of its "goods". It is not entirely clear the behavior of Valentina (Lydia Shaporenko). Who prevented after the TV episode to find Sergei? It turns out that the ordinary misunderstanding that led to a trifling quarrel forever changed the lives of two good people.
“I love you, you understand, I will come for you at dawn, because such love has not happened in the last twenty centuries!” Sea coast, meeting with you, heart beats and noises surf. I love you for you, I can do anything you want: gather flowers in the snow in the Arctic or light the sun in the middle of the night. . "
