This is a great movie that tears the soul apart!! He's a Russian, too!
Someone will shout in the wake.
He's a Russian, too!
There is no happiness with him!
Golden hands do not mean that a person has a golden soul. In my opinion, this is the main idea of the film. And now about the movie itself. In the film directed by Boris Yashin, we see a strong Russian peasant who serves in the Navy. He's fifty. He went through the war, visited different countries, in short, knows about life firsthand. But somehow, it's time to drop anchor, find your safe haven. Life gave him such a chance in the form of an unhappy woman with a child, working as a buffetress in a small port city. Everything would be fine if... Ivan Krutov, the name of the main character of the film, twenty years was not in his small homeland. And who knows, maybe he wouldn’t be twenty yet, if it weren’t for the woman he met. In order to provide himself, her and her boy with a decent life, he needs to go to the places where he came from, where he was born, grew up and went to the front. From that moment on, the movie itself began, it was just a little prelude.
The film is built on contrast. In the first half we see a black and white color scheme. The second part is a color movie. That is, the director, as it were, divided the life of his hero into two halves. For which I thank him specially. And that second half is a delicate workshop of Leonid Markov's work. What a wonderful Russian artist. I will not talk about the second half, for I do not have the words that can convey the feelings that it caused in me. Let me just say one thing:
Do you want to experience catharsis? Watch the movie "Our Debts."
