A loyal friend! I completely and completely agree with the previous review of this film. The film is magical and created with such love, with such warmth of soul that will please not only children, but also adults. And like a drive in it there is not much and scenes heart-wrenching, except maybe a couple of moments, but for the soul oh how takes. The secret of the film is its stunning organicity, starting with the voiceover of Zinovy Gerdt and ending with the magnificent play of a four-legged friend.
For thirty lands, in a country about which we have little idea, something connected with the East, a dog has risen. Putting his hand into something like a hole, one bad uncle took, and pulled out into the light of God’s puppies and put in the basket. But one small crumb, miraculously managed to avoid the fate of his fellows. The bad guy left, and the puppy got out, drowned his legs and ran to the sea, and there without thinking long rushed to swim, before thinking to himself: “There are no brothers or sisters, there is only freedom and space, and what to do with them?”
Swimming across the bay and finding himself in a port town, the little puppy did not run into a corner, did not run out his tongue in search of food, and roamed like a blind kitten. But the puppy was not ordinary, having his own opinion and judgment.
When you are all alone and no one needs you, and you meet someone who casually said a kind word to you, just out of kindness of heart, said and forgot, he seems to you the only one close.
Such thoughts were inspired by a small puppy by a Russian sailor who did not kick, did not pass by, but said a kind word to the dog. Naturally, after a kind word, the puppy tied up behind our sailor, and he again did not push him away, but took him to the ship. Moreover, he almost immediately joined the team and found friends among bipeds.
Being on board a ship is not easy, but becoming a member of the crew is much more difficult.
And Salty, as the mechanic Martyanov (Vladimir Menshov) called him, became a full member of this friendly team. Wherever he looked, studying this large unit. Everywhere interesting, everywhere curious. But to climb to the second floor in the cabin of the captain for some reason is impossible.
This is always the case: where you do not want to call, and where you do not want to go there.
And the joint swimming and friendship of man and dog began. This is a true friendship that rarely happens among people. Even the fact that the mechanic Martyanov may have a girlfriend, the dog did not confuse, although he brought a share of jealousy to their relationship. Nadia (Tatyana Shestakova) was not the wife or bride of the hero Vladimir Menshov. They had just met and were still on you. There's a dog. But the girl turned out to be kind, and the dog was a terrible jealous:
When a third must enter into the friendship of two, it gives a vague alarm.
As you can see, all these phrases come from the face of the dog, to the heartfelt voice of Zinovy Gerdt. And in addition, the film sounds beautiful music and it gives every reason for a pleasant viewing. Of course, the film is ten!
