Reviews on movie Devochka iz goroda (3)

We are simply obliged to watch films telling about the Great Patriotic War, about those terrible events that should not be forgotten under any circumstances. It’s a terrible time and sadly, it can come back. And there was a lot of grief, plenty. How many children became orphans in an instant!
The picture is shown very brightly, it is aimed at both a children's audience and an adult, although all the difficult moments are polished, smoothed out. A city girl, along with refugees from Stalingrad, finds herself in a village. The refugees are going to continue their journey, but here’s the problem: the girl is seriously ill. Daria, a woman who sheltered everyone in her hut, breaks her heart, but she is not used to thinking for a long time. She has three children, but she leaves the baby with her to cure her, and then send her to the city. Children perceive a stranger with bayonets, although most of all they want to regret her. “Is it true that the Nazis killed your mother?” the village boys ask the girl in tactlessly and rudely. After that, any mother, if she had at least five, even seven children, would take a poor child with her. But Daria's husband is at the front, and there is no way to ask his advice. How will he react to his wife’s decision? Maybe he will be against, they say, better to put relatives on their feet first?
A wonderful picture of good and evil, with clear contrasts, so that even the smallest viewer was interesting and understandable. Importantly for this audience category, the film lasts just over an hour. Even the most impatient and curious will sit.

I watched this movie recently, although the film is very old and probably almost forgotten these days. No reason. Because this film reveals the beautiful qualities of the Russian soul - able to love and create magic with their good.

This film is about a terrible period in our history - about the Great Patriotic War. However, the war in the film is almost not shown - it stands behind the fate of people, behind fears and anxieties in words, behind letters from the front.
This film is about a girl who lost her family - her mother, brother and father. She was in a new family, and as it turned out, in her family. Because she is accepted as her own daughter, as a sister, because throughout the picture she gets used to and thaws into new people and new orders - orders and works that she did not know in the city where she lived before.
Such films awaken in the soul and heart all the best, make you look at the world with different eyes. And it's good for our littered souls. . .

I give the film a rating

The score is lowered for the quality of the film - the technical capabilities of the time. But this is a film of that era, and there were no alternatives.

Look if you haven't seen him. You won't regret it!

War... This short word merges all the tragedies that exist in the world. Our heroine was left without a home and without a family, but she was lucky - she met people ready to become her family.

The film is designed for a children's audience, adults it may seem quite naive, although the heroine did not take root in a strange family so smoothly, it is not so easy for a city girl to get used to the harsh village life and it was not so easy for her to sincerely say "Mom!" to a woman who became her second mother. But the film preaches eternal values - helping your neighbor, although it is a neighbor, a willingness to share what you have the last.
