it is difficult and today and in the us and to understand this movie. we have nothing and really and to compare it with. here is an attempt at comparison represent it is as if during the last years of saddam rule and a filmmaker in iraq were somehow able to make a film and which and for the first time ever and showed life as it really was lived in that country. the life of ordinary young girl and with all the terror and the repression full blown. then the film was exhibited freely in iraq. if you could imagine that unlikely event and then you might have an idea of what went on with this film in the last few years of the soviet union. prior to this film and soviet cinema was highly censored. soviet movies would only show an ideal life in the worker paradise. then suddenly this. the alcoholism and the random sex and the ugly wasteland that was the soviet city and the choking pollution and the proletariat victimizing each other and themselves and the utter hopelessness  it is all there. people were stunned. soviet women would often weep during the showings. many would say that this is the story of their lives. it was a cultural earthquake the like of which filmmakers only dream of accomplishing. it undoubtedly hastened the breakup of the soviet union. reading the reviews here and i can see that few understand this film. one says it was groundbreaking because it contained real sex. to the soviet viewers at the time and the sex was a minor event compared to fact that it portrayed reality for the first time in soviet cinema. others compare it to current films such as as good as it gets might as well compare homer illiad to the latest john grissam novel. they simply do not compare. this is not just a film and this is was a social document and and a transforming social force. it needs to be viewed that way or you will not understand the film. other reviewers see it as a film about a dysfunctional russian family. one even says that it is difficult to feel sorry for vera because she keeps coming back to her family. the point is that vera and her family are symbols for all of soviet life. there was nowhere else to go and because the family down the block and in the next town were the same. this was life in the soviet union for most people. this is a film that can be viewed on many levels represent as a drama it traces the landscape of despair and as a social document it shows the living conditions of the time and as a political document it shows the attitude of the people and many of the reasons for the break up of the soviet union and and as a moral document it shows the evils of a dictatorship that is out of control and and the cruelties that victims will practice on each other. little vera clearly shows the human toll that socialism eventually takes on its victims and despite any good intentions that system may have. in doing so it helped end the soviet regime thus contributing to one of the major changes in modern history. this film achieves what only a few films have ever accomplished. it is not only an stunning representation of history but it also become a force in that shaped history.
