this film be undoubtedly one of the great landmark in history of cinema . by see this film and we can only retrospectively notice that world cinema in 1950s have such a purely humanistic dramaturgy and such a strong and adequate use of sound image montage and and almost religious admiration of ethical choice in human life . cinema be then not only one form of art . it be much high than ordinary life and it give many people hope to live after the tragic war . it be say and that even picasso be move and cry that such a work of art can appear only once in 100 year . audience that time be also different . i read that after see kurosawa ikiru ( live ) in it first release and young couple quietly tell each other and it be a good film and isn not it . i think and contemporary cinema and though technically develop and open some new narrative perspective and have lose the most important reliance of audience . cienma be once really the most popular art from and and unlike modern fine art and contemporary music and give million of people hope and ideal . in this point of view and letyat zhuravli must be in the pantheon of classic of all the time and a city light and ikiru and la strada .
