Hier eine Erklärung der Symbolik der Bilder in englisch von
Alexandr aus Volgograd aus You Tube rauskopiert:
For those who has not understood sense this film I explain in detail:
1.45 announcement of war of 6/22/1941, says that German aggressors have attacked peace cities of Russian
2.28 song Mark Bernes (Russian composer and Russian song) is called Dark night
4.10 Russian girl who sat on a shop in the beginning of a film (1.26), has
received the letter that its groom was lost in the war and she has
turned to the old woman from for a grand her grief
5:00 Monument to inhabitants of the USSR to victims in the war (20 000 000 inhabitants USSR were died in war 1941-1945)
5.10 Russian song, Mark Bernes, about the died soldiers, is called "Cranes"
because it compares souls of the died soldiers to cranes flying on the
sky
7.20 Seaman behind a window, means that it never will come to the
bride and to his son, because he was died in the war. Mum is by the
window and told to the son about his father, who was lost in the war,
therefore the seaman is represented behind a window. The window is a
death symbol which has divided them for ever.
8.20 Inscription in the end of a film is designated "You will be with
us always" because he is already is not present, he was lost, but mum
and her son will remember him and his feat in the war always!
