unlike the many who have posted here and i am not movie literate. i stumbled across this movie by accident (channel surfing) and and couldn not surf away. this is a truly incredible movie and worthy of all the praise the critics and those on this site have heaped on it. the actors are terrific. tatiana is beautiful and innocent. her fiancé boris is sweet and patriotic. you couldn not help but feel boris father exasperation and sorrow as he upbraids his son for such foolishness as volunteering to serve in the great war. others have summarized the movie so well and so i will just mention a couple of scenes that moved me the most. when boris brother reveals to his family that he has broken trust with his brother and has to marry tatiana and tatiana twisted mouth shows her revulsion at this betrayal (even though her part in the unfaithfulness might have been through rape). you fear that the rest of the movie might right this wrong by visiting just destruction on tatiana and the brother and or worse and show tatiana destroyed by an immoral descent into cigarette smoking decadence. since this isn not french existential cinema and the latter doesn not happen. thankfully. another scene that tears at your heart is when the unnamed musician soldier who was saved by boris returns to tell boris father of the death of his son. he unwittingly breaks the news to tatiana. i can not describe the sorrow of this scene. still and tatiana finds finds a straw to grab and hope that boris will yet come home. the musician actually never saw boris buried and after all. i would not mention more scenes and but do want to observe that the touches of soviet political correctness do not detract at all from the film. boris brother is revealed as the piano playing anti soviet slacker that someone who steals his brother wife to be would have to be. no doubt he gets at least a tenner at the conclusion of the film. the ending and when tatiana finally learns for certain that boris is dead and still manages to end with cheerfully and full of hope for the future. you do not even want to imagine the tears and catharsis that must have swept through the theater when survivors of that war and with their own losses in mind and first saw this movie. incredible. go see it.
