Nothing really seemed all that different between the time periods. Odviously the girls had become much wealthier and have moved out of the workers dormitory. I also noticed that in the 1970's there appeared to be alot more of the high rises up and around Moscow than there were in the 1950's.
In the first part of the movie the girls seem both confused and mesmerized by the city of Moscow. They all have basic career goals but there all not really sure how they'll be able to accomplish them. In some ways they don't really care because all they care about is finding a man to love and marry. In fact Lyudmilla's only goal seems to be to marry a rich famous man, which she accomplish and that will end up being a disaster. We never really know Tonya career goal because she gets married right away and appears to quit so she can raise a family. Katya isn't able to find true love but in the process is impregnated. katya is devastated and it seems like everything is over. In part two it was somewhat surprising to learn that Katya has finished her degree and become a very successful manager. Even though Katya career is going very well, she isn't happy with being old and single. Katya is then able to find love in a man who appears to be a little rough around the edges. This seems to make Katya a much happier women.
This movie seemed like a soap opera. We in America might call this a "Chick Flick". It seems very dramatic throughout the whole movie and in the end it all seems to work out, which to me was a little corney.

Keep in mind that Katya was never able to finish her degree. She instead rose to the top through the factory. So it was ironic that her rise came as a result of what initially seemed a failure.
ReplyDeleteI agree, this movie would probably be considered a chick flick. Not that I disagree that it was a great movie, but I feel the female audience would like this a bit more.
