Childrens fate biography

The Nazis who attacked the Soviet Union set themselves the task of not only the seizure of our territory, but also the destruction, but at the best case, the assimilation of the population living on it. And the most defenseless in the face of this machine of death were primarily children. Countless victims in the years only dead, according to various estimates, have several million Soviet children, although there are simply no exact data.

The war crippled many destinies of small inhabitants of a huge country, taking away a bright and joyful childhood. All this is very difficult to knit under dry statistical numbers. But you need to know and remember that over the four terrible military years, hundreds and hundreds of thousands of innocent children, together with their parents, were killed by Nazi nonhumans and their accomplices under the shelling and bombing of peaceful cities, stolen on a foreign land, became disabled and complete orphans.

From these bitter thoughts it becomes truly terribly. Experts talk about the plasticity of the children's psyche, which allows you to get rid of the most terrible and heavy memories. Probably, to some of the children of the war, this helped to cope with the horror experienced by erasing them from memory or hiding them into its farthest nooks.

But definitely not everyone. And someone simply could not exist with this, having lost his mind or life. Just think that the little man experienced, in front of which parents were killed. Here no psychological plasticity will help. But this term is especially difficult in relation to children of the Great Patriotic War. Once again I looked, or rather, I reviewed the old Soviet film of the year under the name.

Its main characters are real “woundings” - children and adolescents, who are sincerely crippled by the monstrous events of that time. This is best emphasized by the epigraph at the beginning of the film: "Children and war - there is no more terrible rapprochement of opposite things in the world." These are the words of the great Soviet writer Alexander Twardowski.

Domestic cinema often turned to this topic. But to do something worthwhile and penetrated did not always go out. But the brilliant Soviet and Russian director and actor Nikolai Gubenko turned out entirely and completely. The fact is that the film is largely autobiographical and based on the children's memoirs of its creator, whose parents died during the Great Patriotic War. The film first even looks as if it were easy, but any indifferent viewer will very soon feel its piercing and depth.

The brilliant game of actors, both very famous and performers of episodic roles, simply fascinates. The work of young artists is simply amazing. Especially Alyosha Chernityov in the role of his namesake Bartenev. He himself talked about the shooting, said that in the film he seemed to play himself. What is not surprising, because the boy also grew without parents.

After watching the picture at the Cannes Film Festival, French newspapers wrote: “The film plays an amazing small actor with a tender face and at the same time strong -willed. From the beginning to the end, he soloes in the film, pushing into the background of the performers of adult roles. ” The fate of a talented guy developed tragically - at the age of 44, he died, leaving a short but bright mark in domestic cinema.

Another absolutely amazing role of the pupil of the orphanage of the boy Valka Gandina was played by the girl Zoya Evseeva. Also a pupil of the orphanage. About how her fate was further formed, little is known, and she never gave an interview about her work in the picture “wounded”. Nikolai Gubenko himself, who set the magnificent film, played in it a very unsympathetic, mildly, character - a curvature teacher.

The final scene of the picture, when this “teacher”, who applied assault to the child, is dismantled on the pedagogical council, becomes the real quintessence of the film. And the words of the military commander Vladimir Gromov in the brilliant performance of Rolan Bykov, when he calls the pupils of the orphanage wounds, they simply make their way to tears. The film ends with reading the scenes of piercing lines by many of a forgotten poet, screenwriter and director Gennady Shpalikov: in misfortune or fortunately, the truth is simple:.
