Little Vera
I liked actually liked this movie. Vera just seems a teenager in love with drinking and being a slut with whoever she wants. At the beginning of the movie she seems like a total B*tch and stuff and throughout the movie she is like that. Some parts like when the dad is drunk and in pain she helps him change his clothes and stuff and helps him get in bed. It seems like she cares about the dad more than the mom. The parents are just total Aholes to Vera. But Vera kind of brings it all on herself by the way she acts. The parents are not in love. The mom even says that they got married way to young and doesn’t want Vera to do the same mistake. It seems like they are just together to almost be able to survive and live in that apartment/house they are in. Better to have two incomes than just one. Another thing I found weird was that she meets some new guy at a party and she is all of a sudden in love. It doesn’t make any sense. She knows nothing about this guy and is already having sex and has him move into his home and about to get married. Too much stuff going on way to fast. She does all this stuff in the matter of days when it is suppose to be years for all of this to happen. Drinking had a bid impact on his film compared to the others films. It makes the dad crazy in some parts and it also almost kills Vera.

And I'm not even sure we're supposed to suppose that Vera is in love with Sergei. It's almost as if she enters into a relationship with him because there's nothing else to do (nothing else to live for even). There's no incentive to go to college, because there's no money to be found in the decrepit state the Soviet Union was in at the time and she would still probably have to go on living in the apartment.
ReplyDeleteI think the film goes a great way toward showing how awful things can become when one has such limited options available to them. The more one tries to escape the situation the more he/she digs him/herself deeper.
