Image[edit]

Shouldn't the image displayed be the original russian movie poster, instead of the english one? And if so, is the first one available from anywhere? Frostigt 20:59, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

bearing or burying?[edit]

"First it shows Ekaterina with tears in her eyes going to sleep in a dormitory where she just arrived after bearing her daughter, Alexandra"

So, burying or bearing? I think it's burying, as I don't find any use for bearing in this context. -Mardus 12:04, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, bearing. She hadn't buried her daughter, he had beared it. When a woman becomes pregnant, he bears her baby for 9 months, that is the meaning of the word bearing here :)
By the way, haven't you seen the movie? Geevee (talk) 08:47, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bearing? It's "carrying." Learn English.

The word "bear" as a transitive verb can mean "give birth to" (see e.g. Oxford Learner's Dictionary, sense #10). Mathew5000 (talk) 09:16, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Translation[edit]

"Москва слезам не верит" actually means "Moscow doesn't believe tears". Notice the absence of "in". I'm just not sure where to put this fact in. 91.76.249.95 21:16, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be correct, "Москва слезам не верит" is a russian proverb. It might be translated like "there is no sense in tears, act if you are a strong person" Saidaziz eng (talk) 17:58, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

However the title was translated literally to other slavic and eastern languages at the time of release: for instance as "Moskwa nie wierzy łzom" into Polish. Only the English translation tries, and IMHO ultimately fails to give some meaning of the original proverb. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.205.85.175 (talk) 16:43, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Other women/subplots?[edit]

The plot summary neglects to mention the fates of the other 2 women. Can someone more familiar with the movie include that in the summary? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.114.145.9 (talk) 08:21, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

About the final scene[edit]

"[..] implying that Gosha is the man she has been looking for her whole life." Actually, this line looks to be an original research. Lots of interpretations are possible, and this is only one of them. For example, eight days might indeed be a much longer term for her than for him (and this interpretation allows for many subinterpretations). Nobody knows what is implied; only what is said is known. - 92.100.162.216 (talk) 13:38, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Most important scene[edit]

I haven't seen the movie in a long time, but a particular scene is etched in my memory. It's the one where Katerina is invited to the picnic and Gosha is presented by his friends as an honorable and admirable man. This third party vetting is a powerful thing. I'll watch the movie again before I write anything in the article. KateChimera (talk) 04:53, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Date of this film should be 1979, not 1980[edit]

Although IMDb lists Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears as a 1980 film, other sources call it a 1979 film, on the basis that its first screening was in Moscow in 1979: [1] The corresponding article in Russian-language Wikipedia (ru:Москва слезам не верит) asserts that the 1979 screening was at the «Звёздный» (Zvozdnyy) cinema. Typically Wikipedia considers a film's "release date" to be synonymous with its world premiere, or first public screening, not its commercial theatrical opening.
