(reaching for a 5/5 rating here... ;)) besides, i think the ending is perfect the way it is. actually seeing the melted heart on screen would just be a tad too much, so i'm happy they chose to do it the way they did, but to each his own i guess. just read your take on the russian short film of the tin soldier, and i agree, it’s a beautiful piece of art! the music, hc andersen’s story, the characters… i also noted how you’re missing the ending with the housekeeper finding the tin and ash in the shape of a heart in the fireplace, so i guess my question is - do you speak russian? i’m asking because the narrator actually mentions this in the final monologue.
