NO TEARS IN MOSCOW!!!!!...OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT...PRETTY MUCH JUST ANOTHER LOVE STORY....

A film extremely similar to Irony of Fate, Moscow Does Not believe In Tears is a film that, not surprisingly, is a popular film with Russians, one that is still held dear to their hearts today, I am starting to see a trend in what Russians see as "classic" films. Both of them had to do with love. Where did this affinity for love stories come from? especially ones that include an exceedingly long story. Not that I was bothered by this, I love longer films, but both Irony and Tears were very long films, dealing with much exposition and quite a bit of character development. I suppose one could argue that their affinity for this comes from the fact that earlier films were forced to be very anti personal with the characters, allowing people to see them only as heroic and brave, never actually being able to know them inter personally. either way, the films are stories that allow you to escape and become lost in the characters and their problems.
