Moscow=NO BELIEVE TEARS

I found the film Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears to be shockingly similar to Irony of Fate. I fell that it is very interesting that the main couple in each of these films met only by chance. I have begun to realize that popular Russian films are the ones that portray what many people hope for. It is, as it has been for ages, to find true love. Both of these films have a storybook ending. What I mean to say is that they both end with someone falling in love and living happily ever after. Both films also have a character that seems to mess everything up for a short period of time. This character is usually the one that triggers an argument which leads to short term separation between the main couple. As of right now I am convinced that our class could make a famous Russian film by simply telling a love story which features a random meeting between the two lovers (we would also need a character that attempts to stop the progressing romance).

  1. This film was very similar to Irony of Fate. It didn't occur to me during the film but now it's obvious the same storyline was used.

  2. Even though it's pretty lame, I do enjoyed a good ol' story book ending.
