My review:

Rather fascinating not children's film about children of war (WW2) after its ending. Podranki it is those which have wounded but up to the end and have not killed (birds wounded in a wing). In a military educational institution boys - sons of regiments and children of the lost militarians are collected. They sharply perceive any insults, they have original perception(recognition) of the post-war reality. The main plot of film is memoirs of writer Bartenev on the childhood carried out(spent) in this militarized school. At all boys the weapon for memory of their lost fathers and war is secreted. Once they saw captured Germans who were occupied on any works near a boarding school. The behaviour of that captured Germans  seemed to them too much cheerful. Group of the offended pupils condemns them. All comes to an end tragically. One of boys perishes having undermined itself dynamite prepared for captured Germans. After death of the boy one of pupils to a class will read to his sad composition where he has described destruction of the father.

Small actors have perfectly coped with the roles.


Very Sad Movie
You all must see it

When was Alyosha Cherstvov born?

It would be helpful to know.

How old was he in The Orphans?

Thanks for reply guys!
But country not Russia! Use instead of it Soviet Union.
Orphans? That's not right translation or meaning. Bartenev has brother.

Many people behind borders of Russia have not understood sense enclosed in the name of this film.
There is bad teacher and other good teachers from the staff of boarding school who understood boys. One of them say once something as following: What you want from boys who is actually like wounded birds (Podranki).

You not right Cal! Soviet Union was big country with GREAT art, movie productions etc.

It is far from being a umbrella, it is the enormous factor in our then life. If you speak, that all cinemas sounded by Russian definitely is Russian you deprive with the right on these films all other republics included to USSR. They now become wet without this umbrella under a rain. I speak the truth! It should be seen! On Ukraine all Great film studioes lay in ruins. It is sad to see.

But what is that MEMOCAST?

Wow Cal! You are capable of such tirades! But I will keep with my opinion , also it coincides in most cases with opinions of the Soviet actors which do not regret for lived days  in the USSR. They are proud of the ranks received from those Soviet tyrants. It is the fact.

Don't forget about Jews who created Soviet Union and ...
(Lenin is one of them)

My family descended from a noble class but we do not regret about Soviet times 

Yes, I think that I divide your opinion about Georges Bush. Do you know Cal, in the nearest to us country Ukraine constantly on TV plays an advertising of a detergent powder "Tide." And so the leader constantly asks: - you still boil? Then we go to you!
Local humorists have altered sense under Bush's main problem - democracy in the third world. You still do not have democracy? Then we go to you!

Yes I have noticed changes. Now the Soviet cinema can be found more easy. I agree that it is very practical. Otherwise many films would be registered only to Russia.

In general you can expect for my help with Russian - Soviet films.

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense.

It's great to have someone who understands the nuances of Russian language and Russian life.   

Dear Ogre_Magi!
--------------------------------------Russian:-----------
Тваю мать! Кто сказал тебе, что под Подранками в этом фильме имеются ввиду Падонки? Это ты о 093; сиротах? Мальчики в фильме абсолютно не выглядят подонками!!! Посмотри фильм и поймёшь это.

Sorry Cal for this my Russian expression! Part of my large family lives in the Russia! I am very well understanding Russian language! Including nuances!
