    Storyline

    • Goofs
      When Zoya is checked to become an agent, the officer is talking German to her. His subtitled line "In your questionnaire it is said that you learned German in school" is translated very incorrectly into the real German, including "es ist gesagt" (for "It is said") "Das Sie studieren Deutsch"". The real line should have been "In deinem Fragebogen steht, dass du in der Schule deutsch gelernt hast". Furthermore the word "Du" (Singular "You") was translated as "Sie" (plural version of "You").

      Joseph Stalin: [looking out of the window, while discussing the war situation] It's dark. You can't see a thing.

    • Crazy credits
      During the closing credits, which tell the story of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya and her legacy following line appears: "Today her name is in the names of ships, schools, streets. And in the name of this movie."

    The deed of a real person
    Recently, I find myself further more interested in the deeds of non-fictional superheroes but real people of flesh and blood. When the disaster breaks, we don't call Batman or Iron Man, but those who can actually come to the rescue. That's why film "Zoya", which have recently appeared on the screens, piqued my interest.

    The events shown in the film unfolded in 1941. It was then that Germany crossed the USSR borders. Moscow was totally unprepared for the fact that Hitler would attack so swiftly, consequently Stalin had to make a number of frankly difficult, ambiguous decisions. In order to wipe the Germans out from the houses they occupied in a number of settlements, an order was given to burn entire villages ... Yes, it wasn't easy. But sometimes you're simply stripped of choice.

    One of the saboteurs who were assigned the task was the very young Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya. She firmly believed that she had to fulfill her duty, and even in the face of the death penalty, she would have never betrayed her colleagues. And I consider this a real time-barred heroism. No comic hero ever comes close to the real deeds of living people, which we will never forget.

    There is a special emphasis on the characters, their experiences and hopes. It's been interesting for me to follow the expansion of Zoya character, her family, friends and people around. Stalin was also given a special role and it was shown the way he made decisions.

    There're several reasons to watch the film. First of all, it's a historical movie with complex revelations. It has a well-intentioned protagonist with a strong character. Winter puts lightning in your bones, as if you are under the open cold sky. And torture is the most natural - you can't look at them indifferently, but that's the truth. It was all that way. I definitely recommend this film.
