Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

If asked what was the single factor that influenced my decision to get divorced, I would not hesitate in pointing out at "Dark eyes." At that time, I was in a dead marriage -coincidentally, with an Italian woman- and I was left shocked and amazed at what I saw. I told to myself: "What kind of life I am living? Is it worth to live without love?" Thus my divorce soon ensued -a divorce long due, yet launched by this particular catalyst, "Dark Eyes."

One will never forget Mastroianni running like a child through a marvellous Russian landscape, nor the female character's tears of joy and sadness. Chejov is present in this wonderful movie, luckily: one senses Chejov's existential viewpoint, from the beginning to the end of the movie. Or one might even sense The Beatles, "Love, love, love": universal love, but one may as well well start by an earthly love. To anyone who really has a heart, the movie's end is heartbreaking, and it is a waking call: why do people marry at all? How do people choose their marriage partners? What is love? Life is full of people like the two characters, people who marry the "right" ones, just to find that life is missing in their marriages. But I do not want to commit further digressions. It is a movie about true love, as different from "Disney" kind of love. It is about being a fake, or finding one's true way in life. Mastroianni plays an architect who left aside his idelism to marry a wealthy woman, as his friend points out to him. Just like so many people who marry the wrong woman, or the wrong profession, or the wrong lifestyle, thus they fail to grasp the true meaning of staying alive, existentially speaking. It is a great movie to remind oneself not to become a fossil, the fossil of a formerly live human being.
