Москва слезам не верит
In the movie Москва слезам не верит (Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears) we find a group of women wanting more. In this movie we learn much about Russian people. To be honest I kind of found that they are proud of their culture but in a way are more like the United States than they will ever admit. We find that this group of friends dream of living a better life of riches and becoming movie or TV stars. Two of these friends Katerina and Atonina go to take care of a dog for a long weekend for family and lying about there status and how they live to 2 men. I found that through out the film all these 2 women wanted was to live I guess what we would call the easy life. Unfortunately Katerina becomes Pregnant and the man she becomes involved with leaves her, and I found it interesting that even in the Russian society at the time that men are still that way. During the 2nd half of the movie Katerina meets a man on the metro and falls in love with him. I found it interesting that they both did not like dirty shoes but fell in love after only a few days. I really enjoyed this movie and am looking forward to the class discussion in the morning.

I'm really looking forward to the discussion too :) Their (Katia and Gosha) love seemed rather unrealistic, the way that they just 'fell in love' after such a short time. He seemed to have thrust it upon her really quickly. If I was in such a circumstance, I definitely would have said no.
