Cruel biopic that progressively gets crueler. Victor Herman

Cruel biopic that progressively gets crueler. Victor Herman, American, high-performance athlete (boxing, jogging, skydiving) who made the mistake of believing that his destiny belonged to him after ascending in triumphs and records in Mother Russia. Very expensive understood how wrong he was. Shortly before arriving there, 3 thousand families from Detroit, 3 years had to inhabit Stalin's Russia, and in the midst of the Great Depression, from the beginning, how could something like that be painted well? Stalin gives a medal and recognition to Victor when he broke a world record in skydiving, Victor does not sign it because he read that the athlete who obtained it, Victor Herman, is Russian. Not lying comes at a high cost when you are at the opposite geopolitical pole in your mid-thirties. The photography and handling of scenarios is extraordinary; the faces of the other silent prisoners is like an expressionist vignette by George Grosz. But after frequent beatings and signing, his luck did not improve, sent to Siberia where, as he himself recalls: "my only order, and the most important DO IT TO OTHERS BEFORE THEY DO IT TO YOU". IN Siberia you will not only feel hell cutting down trees next to Red Loon, at a temperature below zero, you will also witness the hell of others, without being able to do anything, like that whole wagon of women of different ages arrived from Moscow just to satisfy sexually for 50 minutes to all inmates. He would never see Red Loon again, and all he remembers of that day walking in the thick snow in a disconsolate line is that he told him that he loved him and to take care of himself he gave him a rat trap that he immediately used, killing them in the water. frozen and eating a little better. until he met the beautiful Galina, who if America breathed into her the dream of freedom, Galina breathed into her the dream of love. I just didn't like the ending, I find it too fantastic that Galina carrying their baby walked up to him in the Siberian snow.

In the 1920s Victor Herman left the United States with his parents who went to the U.S.S.R. with other Americans to build an automobile factory there. They were part of an idealistic socialist group who thought that the Soviet Union would be a better place for working class people.Herman had athletic prowess in track and field, and the Soviet authorities wanted him to represent them in world competition. At first he consented, but later demurred when their demands on him became onerous. He asked to leave the country, but of course, back then, departure equaled treason, and they sent him to a remote prison camp. This film depicts the story of his survival. It's a good account of forgotten Americans from a forgotten period.

A movie about love and freedom

When I first saw this movie in the 1980s, in communist Romania, a situation similar to that of the film, I liked it very much. Romania was a mini-Siberia in the '80s, when you couldn't find almost anything to eat in the shops, and inside the houses it was cold and dark. Watching it again in 2017, I liked it just as much. It's a powerful movie, not easy to see. It helps you appreciate your life, how to become humble. John Savage, an extraordinary actor, plays a special role. And Francesca Annis and Willie Nelson are very good. If you can be happy in the heaviest and harshest conditions of life, then you are really strong, a real survivor, without worrying about money and fame. And if you are a man alone and you find a woman who really loves you, then you are really happy. But many do not know how to appreciate it.
