Viewers' opinion
Reviews about the film are mostlypositive. Romantic stories in cinematography have always been popular. But there are also negative reviews for Roizman's film. They deal, first of all, with historical discrepancies. In addition, according to some viewers, love and passion against a background of large-scale military operations is unlikely.
The plot of the movie
Katia Rodionova is the main heroine of the drama "Love at gunpoint." The actors in this film played well. Even spectators agree with this opinion, outraged by the improbability of the plot and the characters.
Two years before the outbreak of the war, the Soviethigh school student Katya meets the German engineer Alexander, who came to the Soviet Union, the second main character in the movie "Love at gunpoint." The actor who played this role, of course, comes from a German-speaking state, but later was involved in another Russian project.
Between Katya and the guests from Germany romantic relations begin to develop. However, the hero unexpectedly leaves without even saying goodbye to his Soviet beloved. It takes two years. The Second World War begins.
In 1943, life again confronts the heroes of the drama"Snipers: Love at gunpoint." Actors in the scenes of military battles and front-line everyday life played, according to the viewpoints of opponents of Roizman's picture, much worse. But the point here is not in their professional qualities, but rather in the absence of qualified consultant historians on the set.
Katya and Alexander are snipers, but they areon opposite sides of the front line. Once the Germans mine a power plant, and the command of the Red Army orders not to allow any price of its explosion. On both sides are groups of snipers: the Soviet is led by the main character, and German - by her lover. They meet. And against the background of terrible events, a great bright feeling is reborn, which, apparently, nothing can destroy. This is the plot of the movie "Snipers: Love at gunpoint."
