In the film
Masha
But that faith... You cannot live without faith and without love.
Me, I will be, it doesn't matter...
I will get over it, I will get through.
And to wait for something, like crane waits for the fair weather.
But I see everything, I understand everything...
Nothing! All that is nothing!
Desperate love exists only in novels,
one must not get weak and to wait and wait for something,
like crane waits for fair weather.
Like Masha's, I thing, I had it.
There is a person near, whom you love.
And even that person grew up with you.
But after that simply... One gets stuck, and the other...
One can't let go, and for the other you are not needed anymore.
One-loving person, who is...
Unfulfilled love, it exist after all... It can turn your life upside down.
That unfulfillment and that something...
Of a young person, but completely ruined, who destroyed his own life, we could say.
Because she herself, I think, burned it - that life of hers.
Somehow she is for me... Somehow I understood her.
Help me, doctor, please?
Because I will make fun of my life, I will destroy it, for sure...
And nobody knows how I suffer!
I love, I love Constantine.
The people who die, looking through the inner eyes, from his position
seem to die for something big, for something beautiful,
for something profound and so on, and so on.
Looking from aside, what is left after a soldier dies -
only a badge with numbers, identifying numbers.
You know, thirty sixth, sixty fifth, that's all, all is left from a person.
Well, maybe it was not interesting for many.
I think that it is a story of a very lonely person as well.
Doesn't matter when.
Even if many unhappy loves pass through life,
but someday must come that one...
Well, I think like that, I don't know.
Has that happy one already come to you?
That happy? Not yet. To me personally? Not yet, not completely.
O don't think that only it is only me who feels like that,
I think many people know that thing and feeling.
So maybe, at some point, the no-action in the routine af all that,
but the diving into those illusions was clear enough.
What I saw in Masha - the same, the invented...
Something will happen, right? Something will happen..
It's often like that in life...
You can look the stories and biographies of other people -
there are so many dreams and so on, and then - that life...
The it just happened like that.
Why did you do this or that? Or why didn't you do this or that?
Or you ended up here and there, or finally married this person?
Well it just happened.
When it is not you who controls the life, rather it is the life that somehow carries you
and usually not the place you wanted, and somehow like this everything...
Like they say in some play of Chekhov - everything's so understated...
I love that guy very much.
He was six or seven years older than me.
Very much.
And we broke up. There was a funny break-up, but whatever.
I came back hamo, all in tears,
it seemed to me - that's it.. That's it...
And my dad was home.
Somehow I remember that conversation with dad until now.
I say to him how I love, how it hurts and how difficult it is.
And that dad's... Who also can't do anything and can't change anything.
Forget it.
