Why the movie “Little Faith” causes unpleasant feelings and do not want to watch it more than once

Natalia Negoda and Andrey Sokolov are the actors of the film Little Faith. They played the main characters of the film: a foreign student Sergei and a girl named Vera, who this summer graduated from high school. The feature film became the first Soviet film to show a bed scene with a naked actress in the frame. Perhaps thanks to her, the number of views of the drama in cinemas of the country broke all records and box office exceeded the expected result.



Instagram is also possible that the incredible popularity of the film provided a realistic story. The daily life of Soviet citizens in the era of perestroika appeared in all its “beauty”. The actors of the film “Little Faith” depicted on the screen hopeless longing, dull life and immoral relations within a single family and between different members of society. However, not everyone liked the film. Today's edition. "Site" I wonder why it happened.

Actors of the film "Little Faith" Unfortunately, in the USSR, many people lived in this way and considered poverty as a norm for themselves. Only to show on the screen a real picture of how things are with ordinary citizens of a huge country, was not allowed. Most of the films did not reflect the real reality in which their characters lived, since everything was embellished to show a happy and carefree life under the socialist system.



In Soviet society it was not accepted to “take out the garbage from the house”. And suddenly in his film “Little Faith”, director Vasily Pichul, in close cooperation with the talented screenwriter Maria Khmelik, who was part-time his wife, ventured to touch on prohibited topics. The audience then looked at the screen as if in a mirror, and saw an unsightly reflection without a filter and prettiness. Not everyone will like it!

The director dared to speak openly about promiscuity and harassment. Previously, this was unacceptable for Soviet cinema. Here was exposed the total consumption of alcoholic beverages and other bad habits. The creators of the picture drew attention to environmental pollution and the approach of an ecological catastrophe.



In the film, they did not forget to mention social inequality. It manifested itself in courting people who had reached certain heights, had more money, and traveled abroad. Because of poverty, people became calculating, callous and practical. They understood that even working in two shifts, special income will not be achieved. The only goal in their lives is that everything should be “like people.”

Much is evidenced by the mention of the imperfection of the legal system and the insecurity of ordinary citizens. Human impotence manifested itself in suicide attempts. Group brawls became widespread among young boys, which ended with the intervention of the police. Domestic violence and domestic fights have become commonplace. The gap between the social strata of society only deepened, which was confirmed by the verdict: “no talk, no drink”.

Against the background of universal despair, love, kindness and sympathy acquire a special meaning and give hope that the romantic story of our heroes will find its continuation in their happy family life. I really want to believe this, because it is not for nothing that Sergey became afraid for Vera, that is, for her future.



How I was influenced by the actors of the movie “Little Faith” About the film “Little Faith” I first heard in childhood. It was on the school lineup. The fame of the scandalous film reached the headmistress before they brought the picture to us in the rental. With the appearance of an intriguing poster on the bulletin board, all students were lined up in the corridor and strictly warned not to even think about going to the movies. Teachers were obliged to be on duty at all sessions and not to let children in the cinema.



Three days later, the film was taken away, and the passion for “Little Faith” subsided. At the big break Lyudmila Ivanovna again gathered all the schoolchildren. She told us about honor, decency and morality, and in the end concluded that it was in vain for students to watch the film, as it should be shown specifically for educational purposes. But to assess how the headmistress was entitled, we no longer had the opportunity.

I saw the movie many years later on television. To be honest, I didn’t want to review the melodrama several times in a row, but the story from our recent past stuck in my memory once and for all. I am sure that she did not leave indifferent any viewer. Show the person again any frame from the film, and he will accurately determine that it is taken from Little Faith.



I’m not surprised that many people don’t like this movie. “Like” is not a word that can be applied to such naturalistic photography. Drama should strike, evoke emotions and be remembered! With this task, the actors of the film “Little Faith” coped with “excellent”. What do you think?
