Movies about orphans - we look, we think. Compassion

The problem of orphanhood, orphanages, has been raised in cinema almost from the beginning of its foundation. Many watched movies about orphans. People of the older generation are familiar with the movie "Republic Shkid", filmed in 1966. It highlights the problems of homelessness in post-revolutionary times. Trust, respect for children on the part of teachers helped the children to change, to forget their fraudulent habits and to re-educate.

"The Sandpit Generals"

In 1971, American filmmakers shot the film "Generals of sand quarries." So people call homeless children. After all, homeless teenagers had no shelter. Their house became sand quarries. Many were afraid of homeless children. After all, they needed to somehow survive, so they were forced to fight in any way for their piece of bread. But the guys did not forget how to love. Their hearts are not hardened from life's adversity. They give shelter to Dora and her brother, whom their relatives drove out onto the street. Fearless and responsive young girl quickly joined the team, replacing the children with mother and sister.

Such films about orphan children evoke sympathy and compassion. This is facilitated by beautiful music. It's tragic that half of the guys who shot in the film died in a year. They were real orphans, not actors. It was difficult for them to survive in reality.

"Mistress of the orphanage"

Soviet films about orphans are more optimistic, although they also cause compassion for young citizens. The main role in the film "The Mistress of the Children's Home" (1983) was played by the famous Natalia Gundareva. Few of the viewers of that time could believe that the actress herself had no children. After all, she so deeply played a loving mother in "Once, 20 years later." In "The Mistress of the Orphanage", the actress became a mother for several dozen children who were in the care of teachers and her director.

According to the plot of the film, the main heroine adopted a boy, but he does not know what is non-native. At the end of the film, Alexander Ivanovna (N. Gudareva) takes another child.

Orphans with living parents

A documentary about orphaned children "The Orphan: An Extra Work" tells about children who live in a shelter. Most have parents, but they do not need their sons and daughters. The film says that even after the war there were not as many orphans as there are now, sad statistics are cited. Currently, there are 130,000 children in orphanages and homes, and 95% of them have parents. Every third pupil of an orphanage falls into the dock, one in five becomes homeless, and each of ten counts his life. This is the fate of children who are deprived of parental love.

Yes, in orphanages they have shelter, food, they learn, but that's not enough. The children need a family, a caring mother. In the film, a female reporter asked the boy from the orphanage to remember that he had a good life. He could not do it. Another girl said that she is in this life for herself. That's how babies think, left without parental support.
