It’s hard to argue with that.
Soviet cinema is a special universe. Many foreigners highly appreciate the films of the USSR, and one of the films is considered a world-class masterpiece.
We are talking about the legendary film “Seventeen Moments of Spring”. American viewers were amazed by the work of Tatyana Lioznova. They admired the techniques, images, acting and the plot itself.
The first series, according to them, retains the intrigue.
The personality of the protagonist is not revealed, but it is clear that he is more beautiful and nobler than other characters. There is a dissonance, because Stirlitz is an SS officer, that is, he is an enemy by default. Only then does the viewer find out what’s going on.
Also, many foreigners highly appreciated the scene of the conversation between pastor Schlag and Stirlitz. The hero of Tikhonov relies on ideology, but his interlocutor looks at things differently. The viewer sees a contrast between the two worldviews.
The Russians agreed with the opinion of American reviewers, because until now the painting “Seventeen Moments of Spring” is considered one of the favorites in our country.
