Synopsis

The story takes place in September 1945, in a Russian border area called Siberia. The people there were all Russians from the German concentration camp before the war, and they were assigned to work there. Ignat, the hero of World War II, was transferred to drive the train when the war ended. At the group dinner, I met Sophie, the mother of a child, and started dating. That angered Stepan, who had always loved Sophie, who had been acting on ignate's train. the next day, Ignat was unwilling to lag behind the other train and kept speeding up. Finally, something went wrong, damaged the engine of the train and lost his qualification to drive the train. By chance, he heard that there was an abandoned train on the nearby desert island, but the bridge to the desert island was broken, and there lived a savage. He went to the desert island to look for the train. Because his arrival disrupted the life of "savage", and there was a fierce conflict between "savage". Later I learned that she was a German girl, that is, Elsa, the heroine of the film. She fled here during the war and lived on the train for four years. Thanks to his superb skills, the train was started soon, which gave her hope that she could really leave there. After that, they repaired the broken bridge together, overcame all kinds of hardships, and finally succeeded in driving the train out. The two also had a good feeling for each other. Ignat takes Elsa to Sophie's house. Elsa makes Sophie's child laugh, which makes everyone happy, because Sophie's child is the only child there, even though he is a German child. But people still reject the German girl Elsa. He has been protecting her and offending the local magistrate. The local magistrate decided to report to the police. The people sent from above locked Elsa and Sophie's German children in the train compartment and prepared to send them to the execution ground. Sophie madly blocked, and the people above shot Sophie, which made everyone very angry. Ignate saw Elsa was taken away, drove the train to chase, and finally caught up with Elsa, and lived happily with her from then on.

Behind the scenes

Before and after the premiere

Uchijli (director): we showed four shows in Toronto. For me, the most important criterion is that the venue is full and no one leaves. The questions from the audience are also very interesting.

steam locomotive

There is another story behind the shooting of the train race. When we re laid the entire Pskov Luga railway, we met with protests and doubts from local residents at the beginning, but later they saw these steam locomotives, platforms with cranes and camera tracks laid parallel to the railway tracks.

Once renamed

Uchijli: Gustav is also a good title, but I think the word "frontier" has more connotation. This is the frontier of life, the frontier of land, and the frontier of human relations. There's a lot of meaning in this word.

Precise positioning

Mashkov: the director and the screenwriter gave me a very difficult task, and it was also very interesting. We didn't discuss the 109 versions of the script for nothing. We are all in the pursuit of an accurate image from the beginning to the end, and finally found his positioning.

Face embarrassment

Scull: Yes, it's a problem. When I was growing up and educated, I had a different understanding of how the German people were involved in this war. I need to always remind myself to overcome that stereotype. Equally important, the film shows the friendship between the characters of Russia and Germany. I think it means a lot to our lives. Q: what do you think the German audience will think of the film? Schell: I don't know when the film will be shown in Germany. This is an epic film with adventure elements, which should attract enough audience. I think it will interest the audience. In addition to the theme, I think the issues related to the relations between Germany and Russia will also attract the audience.

machinist

Mashkov: that's the advantage of being an actor - you can master a lot of other people's skills. It may sound incredible, but I did get the certification of a real steam locomotive mechanic.
Taking part in this film is a unique experience in my career. I've never worked with a director and a screenwriter so productively. Sometimes the character will tell us the solution to one problem or another secretly. Sometimes we don't know what will happen next.
The steam locomotive I drove was 1905. It experienced the Finnish war, World War II, and participated in solovyeva's Anna Karenina. This is the only steam locomotive of this type in the world. Uchijeri: Yakunin, chairman of the Russian railway company, awarded mashkov No. 100 certificate of machinist. It's not a joke. Varoja is qualified to drive these locomotives.
Our film is unique in every way. 109 version of the script, 150 staff, constantly on the expedition. The filming of the crowd was amazing: the actors filmed seven nights in the freezing temperatures of minus 25 degrees, and they had to go to work in the morning. Everyone is infected with the virus of our movie. In particular, valoja's work is very appreciated.

Q: There is a clip of fried eggs in the movie. Did you try it?

Mashkov: I'm one of the best at frying eggs on a shovel. It's my teacher, machinist Pavel Nekrasov. I often feel the smell of coal in my mouth, but the eggs on the shovel are really great. Pick up the shovel and flush with water There is a high temperature in the stove. I did it to the chairman of the Russian railway company once, and then he looked at one of his assistants to put away the shovel and said, give me another one.

Q: Please talk about the bear.

Mashkov: there's a natural killer and a natural Director - it's a combination in Alexei uchijli. He likes to see the instinct of self-protection and survival in the eyes of actors. In Stanislavsky's words, at this time, the actor will forget that he is an actor. He will want to eat, sleep and live. That's what happened to our bear. The bear weighs 450 kilograms. He was gentle, so he didn't get shot. He likes Coca Cola and seafood. I was brought to him, and they ran away and left me an apple. The bear fell in love with me and licked me with his tongue with the smell of fish. Great life. I have a lot of stories with him. Once we couldn't get him out of the water at first, but it took us five hours to get him out of the water! Uchijli: this bear hasn't eaten meat for 15 years. He would do anything to drink coke! In order to get him into the water, we tried shooting, blasting. It was even harder to drive him out. By the way, our actors really stayed in the water of only six degrees for a long time.

Q: Did you feel the language barrier in the shooting scene? What's your impression of this shooting?

peresid (Sofia): I know a little German. After a month's hard work, she could understand us in the end. For the first time in my career, the whole crew started to change the script two weeks before shooting. If you have any ideas, you will be ecstatic. By the time of shooting, I didn't have to recite my lines, because I was so familiar with them. It's just like forgetting to wear your own costume. Today, I saw the whole film for the first time. I just felt that this is life. I never wanted to say to myself that it was a good performance. The characters are really alive and breathing. Mashkov: I think the director has found a way to guide the actors. There's no need for language on the set. We communicate in another way and quickly integrate. Rachel: of course I don't speak Russian. But we actually speak the same language, because when you and others live in the same feelings and emotions, you can naturally understand each other.

Q: This is a question for screenwriters. Is there a steam locomotive left behind in tegarin in history?

Gornolovsky: of course, it's all fictional. The script starts with a basic idea and then adds German characters. The hero story gradually develops.

Q: Are there any scenes you regret not putting in the movie?

Gornolovsky: of course! But what I want to say is that in the Soviet Union, the screenwriter always worked with the director, and the director ran with the script. The tradition has been destroyed. Of course, I didn't expect the script to be revised so many times, but we are very different people. The first edition is my favorite
