Oriented on making people closer

On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Victory, the film “The Cry of Silence” was shown as part of an event organized by the Russian Embassy in Turkmenistan. Viewers of different ages came together in the cinema hall, including children, students, youth, adults, and the Great Patriotic War veterans.

The audience watched the military drama about two orphans, filmed by director Vladimir Potapov based on the novel “Seventh Symphony” by Tamara Zinberg with excitement. Difficult war times, a besieged city, a harsh and terrible winter during the war, and the exploits of Homeland defenders make up a plot familiar to us from many stories...

Two children are forced to fight for survival in besieged Leningrad in the winter of 1942. Through their eyes, the viewer sees hunger, bombardments, cold and mean traits of human nature that are revealed in the face of death such as meanness, cowardice, pettiness.

The heart aches from the behavior of completely desperate Nina Voronova, the mother of three-year-old Mitya, who could not stand the test and left the child to the mercy of fate. And although all the accents are clearly set in the film, the actors convey the main truth to the viewer - even in the most difficult circumstances, even the smallest man has a chance of survival, and therefore, of Victory.

Both children and adults survived in such soul-chilling conditions only thanks to a sincere faith in salvation, humaneness that found a room in their hearts despite the incredible suffering and deprivation. The main character is a teenage girl who had to take care of the same child as her, but only a little younger. Absolutely alone, without parents and adult help, she raises a boy and becomes his support all the time, while bombs fall somewhere nearby and people kill each other.

• The film is fine, but very difficult and causing strong emotions. You do not watch this film, you live in it. “Such films awaken the best human qualities and emotional stress in people. They allow us to once again appreciate the greatness of the feat of our people, who passed through severe trials during the Great Patriotic War, teacher Aina Saparova says.

“The Cry of Silence” did not leave indifferent anyone in the hall. Many viewers could not hold back their tears. Besieged Leningrad was so precisely recreated, the character types of soldiers going to the front and inhabitants of the besieged city were so realistically showed... All this really plunged into the atmosphere of that time and made it possible to feel the severity of those war years.

• The movie itself was heartbreaking. I often heard the sounds of crying in the hall. While watching, I kept thinking about how it is like to be a veteran and watch movies about the war. This is probably so difficult, because so many memories of the war, old lost friends immediately emerge, capital city resident Amangul Bayramova shared her impressions of the film. - This film is actually not about the war. It is about PEOPLE. Let small in age, but already people. It is about how to remain a Real Man in the midst of pain, loss, blood, hunger, cold and every minute fear.

The memory of that terrible time must be preserved, so that subsequent generations retain the correct idea of ​​how it was. Indeed, thanks to the feat of our great-grandmothers and great-grandfathers, today we can breathe the peaceful air of freedom.
