A wonderful Soviet realistic implementation!
This film is one of the most realistic in Soviet cinema! It is hard to believe that in the presence of Stalinist-type censorship, the screenwriter and director gave a realistic picture of the civil war, but really - completely realistic!
The "Reds" are portrayed (including the main character) as dreamers of a new and beautiful world, but this is combined with a parallel cynicism and simplicity in their behavior - this was also the case in practice. The "Whites" (with the main character) are presented as more literate and more unsure of the proposed "bright future".
The amazing thing is that a moral step forward was made in Soviet cinema: the love of a Bolshevik and a White Guard.
I will not comment on the cinematography and direction - they are at a proven highest level. The acting is impressive!
It is unbelievable that in "those times" and in the USSR, brand films were produced under the most difficult technical conditions, and now - under ideal conditions - we are buried with so much film kitsch!
Classic is always fashionable!
